Piecing together the taste signaling puzzle
2010
International audience; The identification of the genes coding for bitter, umami, sweet and sour taste receptors has provided us with unique tools to investigate the gustatory system. As a consequence, tremendous progress towards our understanding of the functional organization of the peripheral taste system has been achieved over the past decade. In particular, key components of the taste receptors signaling cascades have been identified as well as populations of chemosensory cells in the olfactory, respiratory and digestive systems expressing taste receptors. Besides sharing receptors and signaling molecules (gustducin, phospholipase-C b2…) with taste bud cells, these cells display a simi…

Chemosensory reactivity and food neophobia in preschool children: impact of smell, but not of taste
2014
Context and objective: Recent studies suggested that sensory sensitivity could be linked to food neophobia, described as the reluctance to eat, or the avoidance of, new foods. The objective of the present study was twofold. Firstly, this study aimed at assessing the links between smell reactivity and taste reactivity in children. Secondly, this study assessed the links between children’s smell/taste reactivity and food neophobia. The hypothesis was that the higher the chemosensory reactivity of the child, the more the child is neophobic. Method: One hundred and three dyads of mother-child, from the Opaline cohort, were involved. The child’s food neophobia was assessed using a validated pare…
Smell but not taste reactivity is related to food neophobia in toddlers: results from the Opaline cohort
2014
National audience; Context and objective: Research has previously identified relationships between chemosensory reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. However, most studies have addressed this question using declarative data, and without analyzing separately smell and taste. The objective of the present study was twofold. The first objective was to assess the relationships between olfactory reactivity and taste reactivity in toddlers, using experimental designs with different tastants and odorants. The second objective was to determine the relationships between olfactory /taste reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. The hypothesis was that the higher the chemosensory reactivity of t…

Saliva in Food … How does it drive sensory perception?
2014
Saliva is a highly complex body fluid composed of many proteins, peptides, small organic molecules and ions. Saliva is produced and secreted by major and minor salivary glands to protect the mouth and to participate to the digestion. Generally distinction is made between resting saliva that is a result of autonomic stimulation, and stimulated saliva that is produced during chewing and taste stimulation. The link between saliva and sensory perception can be thus regarded through two main angles: the role of resting saliva as a background taste and the mechanistic role of saliva during eating. Indeed resting saliva (and its components) is continuously bathing our oral cavity and as such stimu…
