Extra-Oral Taste Receptors
Topic: Extra-Oral Taste Receptors
I would like to learn more about the role of extra-oral taste receptors, particularly those in the gut, in regulating satiety, appetite, and overall food satisfaction. In particular, I am interested in better understanding how the activation of these receptors by taste compounds - especially bitter and sweet compounds - interacts with biochemical pathways related to energy homeostasis and metabolism. Additionally, I am exploring the impact of food composition and microstructure on the availability of these compounds and how their effects in whole food products compare to those observed in nutraceutical or supplement studies.
