Researchers from Deakin University’s Centre of Advanced Sensory Science (CASS) identified seventh taste of carbohydrate. These carbohydrates sensed in the mouth.
The increase intake of carbohydrates and energy by taste sensitivity in carbohydrates. The researchers working to uncover. It’s association with consumption of starchy foods. Lead Professor Russell Keast said “carbohydrates assumed invisible to taste”.
“It’s typically sugar, with its hedonically pleasing sweet taste, that is the most sought after carbohydrate,” Professor Keast said.
“But our research has shown that there is a perceivable taste quality elicited by other carbohydrates independent of sweet taste.”
Maltodextrin and Oligofructose
Professor studied at two carbohydrates, maltodextrin and oligofructose, both found in common foods like bread, pasta and rice. These carbohydrates sensed in the mouth demonstrated by Dr Julia Low, an academic in Deakin’s School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences.
The study looked at 34 adults and found correlations between how sensitive someone was to these carbohydrates. Their dietary intake of carbohydrates, the amount of energy they ate, and their waist measurement.
“Those who were most sensitive to the carbohydrate taste ate more of these foods and had a larger waist,” Dr Low said.”We specifically looked at waist measurements good measure of the risk of dietary related diseases.”
