Abstract:

Taste is a work for a medium sized orchestra consisting of four movements and is approximately 23 minutes in length. Each movement is a musical illustration of one of the four traditional basic physiological tastes as perceived by humans: bitter, sour, sweet and salty. To represent the four physiological tastes musically, this work applies three unifying conceptual devices. The first device is the assimilation of the physical properties of taste into musical properties including form and texture. The second device associates both taste and sound with human emotions. The third device is the app

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the symbolic uses of food in twentieth-century America using, as case studies, major works by Edith Wharton, Toni Morrison, W.H. Auden, and Wallace Stevens. By incorporating different literary genres - poetry, the novel, and expository prose - by authors from distinct geographic locations, classes, genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnic backgrounds, and eras, my principles of selection offer a broad and significant representation for analysis that serves two related ends: to understand the different ways food functions in literature and thereby to establish

Abstract:

Taste is detected by cells of taste buds in the oral cavity. Mammalian taste buds contain three types of cells: receptor, presynaptic, and glial-like. Of these three, glial-like cells are the least studied. Their only known function is that they clear neurotransmitters from the extracellular space. The present work describes two previously undocumented properties of glial-like cells. First, Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) mRNA was detected by RT-PCR in taste tissue of mice. In the taste buds of Oxtr-YFP knockin mice, YFP was seen in glial-like taste cells and other cells immediately outside the

Abstract:

In addition to the contribution of lipids to food texture and aroma, the effect of lipids on taste perception is now commonly studied. It has been found that lipids may affect taste perception through lipid composition (i.e., cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids). This study assessed the effect of lipid composition on the recognition thresholds of the basic tastes (i.e., sour, umami, bitter, salty, sweet) in emulsion model systems as well as taste intensities perceived at low suprathreshold concentrations. Taste thresholds and intensities in corresponding aqueous systems were determined for compari

Abstract:

Using a phenomenological account of perception drawn largely from the work of Merleau-Ponty (1962) and Gibson (1966; 1974), this thesis explores how perceptual experience is created and modified through practices and discourses. The project examines how a specific perceptual experience--the taste of beer--is formed through the practices and discourses of production. It investigates how both the nuanced taste experiences of brewmasters and the less precise taste experiences of their customers are cultivated in relation to a set of production concerns surrounding the manufacture of a consistent

The development of interpretive criticism in the arts has raised doubts concerning the possibility for explaining the affective power of works of art within the same theoretical framework.

The responses of the sense of taste of 8-9 year old children to sucrose, sodium chloride, citric acid and caffeine were compared to those of adults in an effort to establish the state of development of the sense in mid-childhood. Two procedures were used to determine detection thresholds and ability to discriminate between different concentrations of a tastant. These studies showed that male children had higher detection thresholds for sucrose and sodium chloride than adults and female children, whilst female children exhibited similar detection thresholds to adults.

Abstract:

This thesis explores gender in contemporary youth taste cultures, contributing to the academic field through its illumination of taste’s role in the (re)production of gender. We continue to see inequality on the basis of gender in contemporary society and thus this thesis provides a much needed understanding of the (re)production of gender during youth. Much of the academic field has interrogated gender and youth, albeit with the majority looking at the experiences of boys and girls separately. However, little work has considered taste as being a potentially regulatory space in terms of gender

Abstract:

The taste of foods is perceived as one or a combination of five sensations which are sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami. The umami taste is best described as a savoury sensation (Ikeda, 2002) and it is of central importance in food flavour. The mammalian taste receptors TIRs form two heteromeric G-protein-coupled receptor complexes and taste receptors T 1 R 1 and T 1 R3 function together as an umami taste detector on the tongue (Nelson et al., 2002; Li et al., 2002; Zhao et al., 2003).

The linoleic acid-induced responses depend on G protein-phospholipase C pathway indicative of the involvement of G protein-coupled receptors in the transduction of fatty acids.

The diet of the ageing population is known to deteriorate which is in part due to loss of taste sensation. Lack of interest in food leads to nutritional deficiencies, dehydration and reduced quality of life. The maintenance of taste function is dependent on the presence and function of saliva. Saliva bathes the taste buds and coats the oral mucosa to enable processing of foods and to provide a trophic stimulus for taste bud function. In the ageing population salivary flows tend to decrease for several reasons including disease, reduced water intake and the side-effects of some medications. Thi

Mammals have three members of the small taste receptor gene family responsible for the perception of sweet and savory tastes: two genes (T1R2 and T1R3) comprise the canonical sweet receptor, and a third gene, T1R1, acts with T1R3 to make the savory receptor. Here, in a joint effort with a team of international collaborators, we show that even though birds are missing the taste receptor gene (T1R2) required by other vertebrates to perceive carbohydrates and sweeteners, hummingbirds still detect sugars—but in a novel way.

Salty taste has evolved to maintain electrolyte homeostasis, serving as a detector for salt containing food. In rodents, salty taste involves at least two transduction mechanisms. One is sensitive to the drug amiloride and specific for Na+, involving epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). A second rodent transduction pathway, which is triggered by various cations, is amiloride insensitive and not almost understood to date. Studies in primates showed amiloride-sensitive as well as amiloride-insensitive gustatory responses to NaCl, implying a role of both salt taste transduction pathways in humans. H
