Research Abstract |
First, we developed a clinical umami sensitivity test using an umami substance (MSG). In this method, we obtained cutoff point which discriminate normal or disorder taste sensitivity. Next, we develop an objective taste test based on expression analysis of the umami receptor genes in the human tongue by scraping the mucosa on the foliate papillae of the tongue.
