How Are Food Acceptance And Genetic Taste Measures Related?
Consumers report “taste” as an important influence when selecting foods. The term taste involves many sensory experiences: true taste, retronasal olfaction, and oral somatosensation. True taste refers to perception of salty, sweet, sour, and bitter; retronasal olfaction means perception of olfactory stimuli from within the oral cavity; and oral somatosensation refers to perception of touch, temperature, and pain.
