Variation in the Ability to Taste Bitter Thiourea Compounds: Implications for Food Acceptance, Dietary Intake, and Obesity Risk in Children

Abstract: The ability to taste bitter thiourea compounds, such as phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP), is inherited. Polymorphisms in the bitter-taste receptor TAS2R38 explain the majority of phenotypic variation in the PROP phenotype. It has been hypothesized that the PROP phenotype is a marker for perception of a variety of chemosensory experiences. In this review, we discuss studies that have investigated the relationship between bitter-taste response and dietary behaviors and chronic health in … Show more

“…1994 [40] Cancer treatment can also directly impair the chemosensory processes, thus impairing stimulus transport (e.g., reducing mucus secretion) and modifying transduction mechanisms (non-tasters) prefer and ingest dietary fat and are more propense to obesity [18]. Choi et al [19], using PROP or chili pepper in the test, reported that subjects with a better perception of bitterness had a lower BMI and a lower energy consumption and lipid intake (p < 0.03, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively).…”
