Artificial sweeteners can soon taste sugar

Some artificial sweeteners, such as the Scarin and the AcesULFAME K, have a bitter taste that affects the consumer acceptance of foods and low -calorie foods. New research in Febs open CV It reveals the potential of vehicles that prevent bitter taste receptors to make artificial sweeteners more acceptable.

The diabetes and fish are detected by two types of bitter taste receptors from the TAS2R and Tas2R31 and Tas2R43 family. When the researchers measured the inhibitors of various vehicles against Tas2R31, they found that menthol reduced the responses expressing Tas2R31 to sugar. In addition, another boat called (R)-(-)-CARVONE (which gives Spearmint the sweet Minty smell) showed a strong inhibitory effect on Tas2R31, Tas2R43 after the use of the drunk and Acesulfame K.

Unlike Methol, (PBUH)-(-)-Carvon did not have a sensation of cooling. Since the feeling of cooling is often desirable in the flavor of food, (R)-(-)-Carvone is a promising filter to reduce post-bait from artificial sweeteners.

“The bitter taste inhibitors specified in this study have potential applications in food products, indicating their benefit in promoting the extension of foods that contain artificial sweeteners,” said the corresponding author, Takomi Maysaka, PhD, from the University of Tokyo.
