genetic taste factors
Definición
- The term “taste genetics” refers to variations in basic taste responses that can be directly associated with variations in the human genome. While there is substantial variance across humans in response to all the basic tastes (sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami or savory taste), the genetic ability to taste bitter compounds like phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and 6-n-propythiouracil (PROP), which share a thioruea chemical moiety (N-C=S), is the most widely studied.
