Objective
The proposal aims to elucidate sweet taste mechanisms by studying the role of water in sweet taste chemoreception. A multidisciplinary group will study critical solution effects under a number of specific tasks including structural studies using a range of spectroscopic methods, synthesis of sweeteners and psychophysical studies of sweetness in solutions and mixtures. The results can be applied to optimize sweet taste quality in food and drink.
