Taste revolutions -- how mutations affect our culinary preferences

1. Why does some cinnamon taste like soap?
Research has shown that a mutation in the gene OR6A2 that codes for the aldehyde-sensitive receptor contained in the plant is responsible for this. Scientists are still investigating the exact mechanism of such a huge appetite for cholera (E. However, if a soup or a cup of chowder soaked in cholera for someone like a dishwashing liquid, there is no cause for concern This is completely normal. It is a mixture of ingredients such as garam or masala, which is increasingly being processed as well as in European countries.2. Genes and the perception of sweet taste
Tolerance increases with exposure The more you eat, the more you can consume it. However, there are people who have almost no or little tolerance for sweetness. Mutations in the TAS1R2 gene have been best known, affecting the structure and function of the receptor and causing a decrease in sensitivity to sweet taste, which is associated with a much more frequent intake of sweet. It should be added that people's TAS2R1 gene is also present in other parts of the body (only on the tongue) and is linked to the metabolism of carbohydrates, indirectly influencing the amount of energy consumed by each person (M. Probably any of us for whom the taste preference for sweet taste is significantly reduced by the consumption of sweet taste by the GNAS1 and M.S.R1 genes are particularly associated with sweet taste in children.3. Genes and the perception of fat taste
The genes that encode the taste receptors present, among other things, in language, are responsible for recognizing the texture and consistency of food. It turns out that changes in genes associated with transportation, breakdown, or lipid synthesis are also associated with different sensitivities to fat perception. Graham et al. 2021). This may result in the intake of too many kilocalories and consequently in the development of obesity.4. Genes and the perception of salty taste
These mutations can disrupt transport and cause altered sensitivity to salt taste perception, but further research is needed to investigate specific mechanisms (C. Research shows that the genes coding for the SCNN1B and TRPV1 receptors are also responsible for taste sensation). The most significant appear to be changes in genes responsible for the transport of sodium ions by taste cells. Ferraris et al. 2020).5. Which also affects taste preferences
In the next stage of development, the products introduced into a child's diet are those that have a positive impact on their future food choices. De Cosmi, S. Agostoni 2017). Other important factors in this area are culture, traditions and place of residence. For example, in Asian countries there is a high tolerance for acute taste, while in Europe most people do not. The taste of some products evoke good memories, which causes a greater desire to eat them. In addition to genetic factors, taste preferences are also shaped at the stage of sex life and early childhood preference.6. Effect of taste preferences on the occurrence of diseases
Spinelli, E. Frequent selection of sweet products is also associated with higher incidence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (X. A preference for fat taste and high intake of fat (especially saturated) can lead to lipid-economy disorders, including hypercholesterolemia (A. Scientific data also show a decreased sensitivity to salt flavor and high consumption. Tapanee and co. 2021).
