| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bitter substances are perceived by bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs). The TAS2R38 gene polymorphisms influence individual differences in bitterness sensitivity to some typical artificial bitter substance, e.g., phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) for TAS2R38, but the effect of genetic factors on the bitterness sensitivity to other bitter components in foods is not clear. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey on sensory evaluation tests and taste preference, focusing on vegetables and fruits containing bitter substances that are thought to have an impact on the frequency of daily intake , especially on cruciferous vegetables and grapefruit. Furthermore, we investigated the relationship between TAS2Rs (38, 46 and 19) gene polymorphisms and bitter taste sensitivity.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
抗がん作用のあるアブラナ科野菜の苦味感受性や嗜好性について報告がなされているが(Sandell et al. 2006; Shen et al. 2016等）これら先行研究によって統一されたものではなく、その消費量はTAS2R38の遺伝子型間で有意な差がないとも報告されている（ Feeney et al 2014; Inoue et al. 2013; Choi et al. 2016）。一方、日本人では前述の様なアンケート調査や官能評価試験があまり実施されおらず、このような調査を実施することで日本人の遺伝子多型の特徴を明らかにすることが可能になり、学術的意義がある。
