Sucralose-6-acetate is an intermediate and impurity in the manufacture of sucralose, and recent commercial sucralose samples were found to contain up to 0.67% sucralose-6-acetate. Studies in a rodent model found that sucralose-6-acetate is also present in fecal samples with levels up to 10% relative to sucralose which suggest that sucralose is also acetylated in the intestines. A MultiFlow® assay, a high-throughput genotoxicity screening tool, and a micronucleus (MN) test that detects cytogenetic damage both indicated that sucralose-6-acetate is genotoxic. The mechanism of action was classified as clastogenic (produces DNA strand breaks) using the MultiFlow® assay. The amount of sucralose-6-acetate in a single daily sucralose-sweetened drink might far exceed the threshold of toxicological concern for genotoxicity (TTCgenotox) of 0.15 µg/person/day. The RepliGut® System was employed to expose human intestinal epithelium to sucralose-6-acetate and sucralose, and an RNA-seq analysis was performed to determine gene expression induced by these exposures. Sucralose-6-acetate significantly increased the expression of genes associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer with greatest expression for the metallothionein 1 G gene (MT1G). Measurements of transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and permeability in human transverse colon epithelium indicated that sucralose-6-acetate and sucralose both impaired intestinal barrier integrity. Sucralose-6-acetate also inhibited two members of the cytochrome P450 family (CYP1A2 and CYP2C19). Overall, the toxicological and pharmacokinetic findings for sucralose-6-acetate raise significant health concerns regarding the safety and regulatory status of sucralose itself.}, journal={Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Schiffman, Susan S. and Scholl, Elizabeth H. and Furey, Terrence S. and Nagle, H.

The field of artificial olfaction has recruited and stimulated interdisciplinary research and commercial development for several applications that include malodor measurement, medical diagnostics, food and beverage quality, environment and security.

Standards provide performance criteria that technical engineers can use to design products to optimize the reliability and safety of new products. For example, standards have played a decisive role in the development of products associated with the senses of vision, audition, and touch. The design of products that perform automated “visual” tasks including unmanned vehicles, autonomous robots, optical tracking systems, and highway traffic monitoring devices has relied heavily on standards as well as technical regulations. Likewise, standards related to the sense of hearing have played a major role in the development of devices and systems that assist or mimic “audition” including cochlear implants, hearing aids, and voice and speech recognition systems. Standards related to the sense of touch have been seminal in the design of robotic arms and prosthetic hands. Unlike the senses of vision, audition, and touch, there are, however, no formal standards for electronic devices called e-noses and e-tongues that are designed to detect and evaluate odors and tastes. The purpose of this opinion piece is to give a brief background on the senses of smell and taste, to describe why standards for e-noses and e-tongues are needed, and to call for IEEE volunteers to participate and collaborate on technical standards development to ensure that machine olfaction and taste provide reliable and reproducible results that are comparable to human smell and taste.}, number={9}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE}, author={Nagle, H.

Sucralose was administered to 10 rats by gavage daily for 40 days at an average dosage of 80.4 mg/kg/day. The dosages were within the range utilized in historical toxicology studies submitted for regulatory approval in North America, Europe, and Asia. Feces and urine were collected individually from each animal for every 24-hr period during the 40-day dosing period. Analysis of the urine and fecal extracts by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) revealed two new biotransformation products that have not previously been reported. These two metabolites are both acetylated forms of sucralose that are less polar and hence more lipophilic than sucralose itself. These metabolites were present in urine and feces throughout the sucralose dosing period and still detected at low levels in the urine 11 days after discontinuation of sucralose administration and 6 days after sucralose was no longer detected in the urine or feces. The finding of acetylated sucralose metabolites in urine and feces do not support early metabolism studies, on which regulatory approval was based, that claimed ingested sucralose is excreted unchanged (i.e. not metabolized). The historical metabolic studies apparently failed to detect these metabolites in part because investigators used a methanol fraction from feces for analysis along with thin layer chromatography and a low-resolution linear radioactivity analyzer. Further, sucralose was found in adipose tissue in rats two weeks after cessation of the 40-day feeding period even though this compound had disappeared from the urine and feces. Thus, depuration of sucralose which accumulated in fatty tissue requires an extended period of time after discontinuation of chemical ingestion. These new findings of metabolism of sucralose in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and its accumulation in adipose tissue were not part of the original regulatory decision process for this agent and indicate that it now may be time to revisit the safety and regulatory status of this organochlorine artificial sweetener}, number={18}, journal={JOURNAL OF TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH-PART A-CURRENT ISSUES}, author={Bornemann, Volker and Werness, Stephen C. and Buslinger, Lauren and Schiffman, Susan S.}, year={2018}, pages={913–923} } @misc{schiffman_nagle_2017, title={Standard analytes for E-noses and E-tongues}, ISBN={9781509023929}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/isoen.2017.7968867}, DOI={10.1109/isoen.2017.7968867}, abstractNote={Odor and taste compounds are suggested here as standard analytes for e-nose and e-tongue instruments to provide performance criteria regarding the capacity of these electronic sensing devices to mimic human chemosensory responses.

Sucralose interacts with chemosensors in the alimentary tract that play a role in sweet taste sensation and hormone secretion. In rats, sucralose ingestion was shown to increase the expression of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and two cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isozymes in the intestine. P-gp and CYP are key components of the presystemic detoxification system involved in first-pass drug metabolism. The effect of sucralose on first-pass drug metabolism in humans, however, has not yet been determined. In rats, sucralose alters the microbial composition in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), with relatively greater reduction in beneficial bacteria. Although early studies asserted that sucralose passes through the GIT unchanged, subsequent analysis suggested that some of the ingested sweetener is metabolized in the GIT, as indicated by multiple peaks found in thin-layer radiochromatographic profiles of methanolic fecal extracts after oral sucralose administration. The identity and safety profile of these putative sucralose metabolites are not known at this time. Sucralose and one of its hydrolysis products were found to be mutagenic at elevated concentrations in several testing methods. Cooking with sucralose at high temperatures was reported to generate chloropropanols, a potentially toxic class of compounds. Both human and rodent studies demonstrated that sucralose may alter glucose, insulin, and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels.

The supratherapeutic plasma drug concentrations that result from drug–drug interactions can induce a taste from the blood side of taste cells (intravascular taste), alter taste cell biochemistry, and/or modify other aspects of the taste pathways.}, number={1}, journal={Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Schiffman, Susan S.}, year={2009}, month={Jul}, pages={725–729} } @misc{schiffman_2009, title={Sensory Impairment: Taste and Smell Impairments with Aging}, ISBN={9781603273848 9781603273855}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-60327-385-5_5}, DOI={10.1007/978-1-60327-385-5_5}, abstractNote={The sensory properties of foods influence food choices and provide cues about a food’s nutritional value.

Industrialized animal agriculture creates odorant compounds that are components of a mixture of agents that could trigger symptoms reported by neighbors of livestock operations. Objective We quantified swine odor episodes reported by neighbors and the relationships of these episodes with environmental measurements. Methods Between September 2003 and September 2005, 101 nonsmoking volunteers living within 1.5 mi of industrial swine operations in 16 neighborhoods in eastern North Carolina completed twice-daily odor diaries for approximately 2 weeks. Meteorological conditions, hydrogen sulfide, and particulate matter ≤ 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) were monitored in each neighborhood. We used mixed models to partition odor variance within and between people and between neighborhoods, and to quantify relationships between environmental factors and odor. Results Participants reported 1,655 episodes of swine odor. In nine neighborhoods, odor was reported on more than half of study-days. Odor ratings were related to temperature, PM10, and semivolatile PM10 in standard but not mixed models. In mixed models, odor increased 0.15 ± 0.05 units (mean ± SE) for a 1-ppb increase in H2S, and 0.45 ± 0.14 units for a 10-μg/m3 increase in PM10 at wind speeds > 6.75 miles per hour. The odds of reporting a change in daily activities due to odor increased 62% for each unit increase in average odor during the prior 12 hr (t-value = 7.17).

The trajectory and spatial distribution of odor emitted at each facility were modeled at 200 and 400 m downwind from each site under two meteorological conditions (daytime and nighttime) using a Eulerian–Lagrangian model. To predict the dispersion of odor downwind, the geographical area containing the odorant sources at each facility was partitioned into 10-m2 grids on the basis of satellite photographs and architectural drawings. Relative odorant concentrations were assigned to each grid point on the basis of intensity measurements made by the trained odor panel at each facility using a 9-point rating scale. The results of the modeling indicated that odor did not extend significantly beyond 400 m downwind of any of the test sites during the daytime when the layer of air above the earth’s surface is usually turbulent. However, modeling indicated that odor from all full-scale farms extended beyond 400 m onto neighboring property in the evenings when deep surface cooling through long-wave radiation to space produces a stable (nocturnal) boundary layer. The results also indicated that swine housing, independent of waste management type, plays a significant role in odor downwind, as do odor sources of moderate to moderately high intensity that emanate from a large surface area such as a lagoon. Human odor assessments were utilized for modeling rather than instrument measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, or particulates less than 10 μm in diameter (PM10) because these physical measurements obtained simultaneously with human panel ratings were not found to accurately predict human odor intensity in the field.}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION}, author={Schiffman, Susan S. and Graham, Brevick G. and Williams, C.

It is emphasized from the outset that sensory losses in critically-ill patients may or may not be related to their current medical condition. The present paper provides an overview of all five senses (vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch) and describes the factors that contribute to sensory losses in critically-ill patients, including medications, medical conditions and treatments and the process of aging itself. Cancer and stroke are two critical illnesses in which profound sensory decrements often occur. Many sensory complaints in patients with cancer are related to alteration in sensory signals caused by damage to the sensory receptors. However, some complaints, such as taste aversions in patients with cancer, are not related to altered sensory physiology per se but to learned aversions that arise during the noxious effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The paper also reviews a study in which the sensory performance (of all five senses) was compared in three groups of elderly subjects: (1) patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery; (2) patients with cardiovascular conditions but with no history of surgery; (3) healthy non-medicated age-matched controls. Performance of patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery was worse than that for the other two groups, with taste and smell losses greater than for the other senses.

Specifically, the model was used to simulate the dispersion of odor from a confined animal feeding operation (CAFO) under different meteorological conditions: (1) during daytime when the boundary layer is usually turbulent due to ground-level heating from solar short wave radiation, and (2) during the evening when deep surface cooling through long-wave radiation to space recreates a stable (nocturnal) boundary layer. Aerial photographs were taken of the CAFO, and the geographical area containing the odorant sources was partitioned into 10 m2 grids. Relative odorant concentrations present at each grid point that corresponded to an odor source were measured on site and then entered into a database. The predicted odor dispersion distance was found to be greater at night-time than during daytime and was consistent with field reports from individuals living near the CAFO. The model utilizes single numbers that represent relative concentrations or intensities (e.g. from an electronic nose or human judgments) to simulate downwind dispersion. The advantages of this algorithm over standard Gaussian plume models are that: the velocity variances and covariances among its three components, integral time scale (a measure of eddy coherency), and complex boundary conditions (e.g. complex release points, surface boundary conditions) are explicitly considered.}, number={1}, journal={Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Schiffman, S.S. and McLaughlin, B. and Katul, G.G. and Nagle, H.T.}, year={2005}, month={Apr}, pages={122–127} } @inproceedings{schiffman_graham_dubose_williams_2005, title={Odor dispersion modeling from swine operations with conventional and alternative waste treatment technologies}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2005 Animal Waste Management Symposium: The Development of Alternative Technologies for the Processing and Use of Animal Waste}, author={Schiffman, S.S. and Graham, B.G. and DuBose, P.A. and Williams, C.M.}, year={2005} } @article{kermani_schiffman_nagle_2005, title={Performance of the Levenberg–Marquardt neural network training method in electronic nose applications}, volume={110}, ISSN={0925-4005}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2005.01.008}, DOI={10.1016/j.snb.2005.01.008}, abstractNote={The focus of this study is to find the appropriateness of the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) neural network (NN) training algorithm for recognition of odor patterns associated with an electronic nose (e-nose).

The natural log of slgA concentration and secretion rate declined, on average, 0.058 (0.032) and 0.116 (0.103), respectively, for each incremental 1-unit increase in reported odor from 4 to 9, adjusted for time of day, suggesting reduced levels of slgA in response to moderate or high odor.

The individual components in the binary sweetener combinations were intensity-anchored with 5% sucrose, while the individual sweeteners in the ternary mixtures were intensity-anchored with 3% sucrose (according to formulae developed previously). Each self-mixture was also evaluated (e.g. acesulfame-K-acesulfame-K). The main finding of this study was that mixtures consisting of two or three different sweeteners exhibited less reduction in sweetness intensity over four repeated sips than a single sweetener at an equivalent sweetness level. Furthermore, ternary combinations tended to be slightly more effective than binary combinations at lessening the effect of repeated exposure to a given sweet stimulus. These findings suggest that the decline in sweetness intensity experienced over repeated exposure to a sweet stimulus could be reduced by the blending of sweeteners.}, number={3}, journal={Chemical Senses}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Schiffman, S.

The safety of aspartame and its metabolic constituents was established through extensive toxicology studies in laboratory animals, using much greater doses than people could possibly consume. Its safety was further confirmed through studies in several human subpopulations, including healthy infants, children, adolescents, and adults; obese individuals; diabetics; lactating women; and individuals heterozygous (PKUH) for the genetic disease phenylketonuria (PKU) who have a decreased ability to metabolize the essential amino acid, phenylalanine. Several scientific issues continued to be raised after approval, largely as a concern for theoretical toxicity from its metabolic components--the amino acids, aspartate and phenylalanine, and methanol--even though dietary exposure to these components is much greater than from aspartame. Nonetheless, additional research, including evaluations of possible associations between aspartame and headaches, seizures, behavior, cognition, and mood as well as allergic-type reactions and use by potentially sensitive subpopulations, has continued after approval. These findings are reviewed here. The safety testing of aspartame has gone well beyond that required to evaluate the safety of a food additive.

Odorants are hydrophobic, volatile compounds with a molecular weight of less than 300 daltons. Humans can recognize and distinguish up to 10 000 different substances on the basis of their odor quality. Odorant receptors (ORs) in the nasal cavity detect and discriminate among these thousands of diverse chemical ligands. An individual odorant can bind to multiple receptor types, and structurally different odorants can bind to a single receptor. Specific patterns of activation generate signals that allow us to discriminate between the vast number of distinct smells. The physicochemical attributes of odorants that induce specific odor sensations are not well understood. The genes that code for ORs have been cloned, and results from cloning studies indicate that ORs are members of a superfamily of hundreds of different G-protein-coupled receptors that possess seven transmembrane domains. A complete knowledge of structureodor relationships in olfaction awaits the three-dimensional analysis of this large family of ORs. Ultimately, simultaneous knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of ORs as well as odorants will allow us to develop a pattern recognition paradigm that can predict odor quality.}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Libraries, NC State University}, editor={Pearce, Tim C. and Schiffman, Susan S. and Nagle, H.

The goal of this study was to assess DD patients in the following areas: sensory capacities, decision-making style, and complex reasoning. Ten DD patients and 10 matched normal controls completed the following (1) smell, taste, and vision testing; (2) a probabilistic inference test in which subjects made probability decisions; and (3) a gambling task assessing complex reasoning. No significant difference was found between DD subjects and normals for taste acuity, olfactory acuity, or olfactory discrimination. No difference in visual acuity was noted, but sample size was limited. In addition, DD subjects required significantly less data to make probability decisions than normal controls. Despite using less data, DD subjects were as certain as controls regarding the accuracy of their decisions. As for complex reasoning, DD subjects performed as well as normal controls, but tended to surmise the purpose of the task sooner than normals, a difference that approached significance. In conclusion, these results suggest no differences between DD and normal subjects regarding olfaction, taste, and vision. The reasoning studies suggest that DD subjects may have a "cognitive set" that predisposes them to make conclusions with significantly less data than normals.

The incidence of taste and smell disorders will increase significantly over the coming decades due to the rapid growth in the elderly segment of the population. Furthermore, elderly individuals will likely experience taste and smell losses for a greater proportion of their lives due to the increase in life expectancy. Taste and smell disorders in the elderly present a public health challenge because they can increase the risk of malnutrition and food poisoning. Furthermore, taste and smell impairments reduce the quality of life. Deficits in taste or smell perception are a consequence of normal aging, certain disease states (especially Alzheimer's disease), medications, surgical interventions, and/or environmental exposure. Impaired taste and smell perception in the elderly can lead to poor appetite, inappropriate food choices, lower nutrient intake, and impaired nutritional status and immunity.

To study this question, a unique sample of individuals (n = 33) was studied who were genetically at-risk for AD by virtue of documented multigenerational evidence of the disease (so-called multiplex families). The performance of at-risk individuals was evaluated on various smell, taste, and neuropsychological measures at baseline and 18 months later. Their performance was compared to a control group (n = 32) that was matched in age, gender, education, and race. At baseline the at-risk group performed worse than the control group on the chemosensory measures of phenethyl alcohol smell detection, smell memory, and taste memory, and on a memory measure involving recall of narrative information (Logical Memory I from the Wechsler Memory Scale- Revised). Across both sessions, the at-risk group had lower smell memory scores than the control group. At-risk status was not significantly associated with APOE status. The results of this and other studies suggest that individuals who are genetically at risk for developing AD may perform more poorly on memory and smell measures compared to those not at risk.

Of these, 203 were found in air samples adsorbed onto Tenax®, 112 were found in air samples adsorbed onto cotton material, and 167 different compounds were identified in the lagoon samples. The compounds identified were diverse, and included many acids, alcohols, aldehydes, amides, amines, aromatics, esters, ethers, fixed gases, halogenated hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons, ketones, nitriles, other nitrogen-containing compounds, phenols, sulfur-containing compounds, steroids, and other compounds. The vast majority of these compounds were present at concentrations below published odor and irritation thresholds. Yet human assessments indicated that odors (and irritant sensations) in the immediate vicinity of the swine houses (and even at distances beyond 1000 ft) were strong. Comparison of the findings from chemical and human assessments points to the importance of the cumulative effects of hundreds of compounds in producing odor and irritation downwind of swine operations. Many GC peaks from the samples were too small to allow identification of the compounds, but their presence may also contribute significantly to the odor and irritation. Several methodological difficulties were associated with the human odor assessments. Odorous air evaluated in the field was simultaneously collected in Tedlar® bags for evaluation in the laboratory; however, intensity ratings in the field were higher than those in the laboratory. This is due to the fact that organic dust (dried fecal material and feed) adheres to Tedlar® bags and the tubing of collection/delivery systems; therefore, only VOCs from the vapor phase (but not the dust) reach the nose of the panelists in sniffing air samples obtained in Tedlar® bags. Future collection and measurement techniques need to be developed that can evaluate odors from dust and vapor phases simultaneously in the laboratory. Dispersion models also need to be developed that account accurately for odor intensities downwind of animal operations. Finally, safety standards for odor exposures need to be determined that consider the risk of simultaneous exposure to hundreds of low level compounds.}, number={3}, journal={Agricultural and Forest Meteorology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Schiffman, Susan S and Bennett, Jeanette L and Raymer, James H}, year={2001}, month={Jun}, pages={213–240} } @inbook{schiffman_2001, place={New York}, edition={3rd}, title={Taste and smell}, booktitle={The encyclopedia of aging: A comprehensive resource in gerontology and geriatrics}, publisher={Springer Publishing Co}, author={Schiffman, S.S.}, editor={Maddox, G.

Clinical reports of taste disorders have been associated with many drugs, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory medications. The purpose of this study was to quantify the taste effects of 6 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and 13 antimicrobial drugs. The six NSAIDS were: diclofenac sodium salt, fenoprofen calcium salt, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, nabumetone, and sulindac. The 13 antimicrobials were: acyclovir, ampicillin, atovaquone, dapsone, enoxacin, ethambutol, lomefloxacin HCl, ofloxacin, pentamidine isethionate, pyrimethamine, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline HCl, and trimethoprim. These 19 medications were applied topically to the tongues of unmedicated young and elderly volunteers as well as unmedicated HIV-infected patients to measure the direct effect of the drug on taste receptors. Topical application of drugs to the apical tongue surface was used to mimic the situation in which the drug is secreted into the saliva. The main finding was that the taste qualities of these drugs were perceived as predominantly bitter, metallic, and/or sour, although several did not have a taste. Elderly subjects had higher thresholds than young subjects for one-third of the drugs that were tested. Thresholds for HIV-infected patients were statistically equivalent to young controls; however, HIV-infected patients rated the drugs as more intense at four times above the detection threshold than young subjects.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of habituation to sweet-tasting foods and to determine whether there are differences in the rate of habituation between African Americans and European Americans. These two groups were compared because the prevalence of obesity and obesity-related disorders such as diabetes and hypertension is significantly higher among African Americans than among European Americans. Nine different commercial foods and beverages that differed in sweetness intensity and caloric density served as stimuli. Subjects tasted and rated each food once per minute for a 30-min period on scales related to desire for another taste of the same sample and desire for a different taste. The stimuli and portion size for each of the 30 samples were two candy bars (Ultra Slim-Fast Cocoa Almond Crunch Bar, 1/16 of a bar; Natural Nectar Peanut Butter Granola Bar, 1/16 of a bar), three beverages (Nestea Lemon Flavored Instant Tea with NutraSweet, 5 mL; Welch's Grape Juice, 5 mL; Pink Swimmingo Kool-Aid, 5 mL), two gelatin desserts (Cherry Flavored Jell-O Gelatin, 5 g; Cherry Flavored Jell-O Gelatin with NutraSweet, 5 g), one enteral nutrition drink (Vanilla Ensure Plus, 5 mL), and one pudding (Ultra Slim-Fast Chocolate Pudding, 5 g). Subjects consumed the entire portion of each sample. Habituation occurred for seven of the nine foods as judged by a decrease in the desire for another taste of the same food. The degree of habituation for European Americans and African Americans was similar except for the sweetest food (Cherry Flavored Jell-O Gelatin with NutraSweet), for which African Americans showed no habituation. The degree of habituation in both groups was unrelated to caloric density. Overall, young African Americans had a significantly greater desire for another taste of the same food than did young European Americans for seven of the nine foods, and this desire was strongly correlated with the sweetness intensity for young African Americans but not for young European Americans. Furthermore, young African Americans had a greater desire than young European Americans for a different taste for seven of nine foods. The greater desire for intense sweet tastes may be a factor in the elevated incidence of obesity and diabetes in African Americans. In addition, young African Americans had greater perceived stress in this study than did young European Americans. If African Americans use sweet taste to compensate for feelings of stress, this compensation may also contribute to weight gain.}, number={10}, journal={Nutrition}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Schiffman, Susan S and Graham, Brevick G and Sattely-Miller, Elizabeth A and Peterson-Dancy, Measha}, year={2000}, month={Oct}, pages={886–893} } @article{armstrong_williams_spears_schiffman_2000, title={High dietary copper improves odor characteristics of swine waste.}, volume={78}, ISSN={0021-8812}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.2527/2000.784859x}, DOI={10.2527/2000.784859x}, abstractNote={We conducted two experiments to determine the effects of dietary copper concentration and source on odor characteristics of swine waste.

The most frequently reported health complaints include eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, nausea, diarrhea, hoarseness, sore throat, cough, chest tightness, nasal congestion, palpitations, shortness of breath, stress, drowsiness, and alterations in mood. Typically, these symptoms occur at the time of exposure and remit after a short period of time. However, for sensitive individuals such as asthmatic patients, exposure to odors may induce health symptoms that persist for longer periods of time as well as aggravate existing medical conditions. A workshop was held at Duke University on April 16-17, 1998 cosponsored by Duke University, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) to assess the current state of knowledge regarding the health effects of ambient odors.

All other tastes have been presumed to be combinations of these basic tastes. This psychophysical concept has been extended to electrophysiological data. That is, the neural code for each basic taste is hypothesized to be coded by a dedicated channel of neurons (the "Labeled-Line" theory); i.e., one group of neurons signals "salty" and another separate group signals "sweet." Numerous psychophysical and electrophysiological findings, however, cannot be accomodated by this quadripartite theory, which limits taste to four basic qualities and four basic neuron types. Rather, the data described in this article suggest that the range of taste is more extensive than four or five basic tastes, and that this breadth of taste quality results initially from the activation of a broad array of ion channels, receptors, and second messengers associated with taste cell membranes. These findings have implications for neural organization and provide support for the "Across-Fiber Pattern" theory in which the neural code for taste is represented by the pattern of activity across all of the neurons, i.e., neurons are not exclusively labeled for a particular sensation but cooperate with the others in the ensemble to encode taste quality.}, number={1-2}, journal={Physiology & Behavior}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Schiffman, Susan S}, year={2000}, month={Apr}, pages={147–159} } @misc{schiffman_2000, title={Taste: Biological organization.}, ISBN={1557986576}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/10523-005}, DOI={10.1037/10523-005}, journal={Encyclopedia of psychology, Vol. 8.}, publisher={Oxford University Press}, author={Schiffman, Susan}, year={2000}, pages={6–8} } @inproceedings{wyrick_schiffman_payne_o’brian_van dyke_allison_ledbetter_nagle_2000, title={Testing HVAC ducts for microbial contamination using an electronic nose}, booktitle={Proceedings of world congress on medical physics and biomedical engineering (CHICAGO 2000)}, author={Wyrick, D. and Schiffman, S. and Payne, G. and O’Brian, G and Van Dyke, C. and Allison, H. and Ledbetter, J. and Nagle, H.}, year={2000} } @article{bloomfeld_graham_schiffman_killenberg_1999, title={Alterations of Chemosensory Function in End-Stage Liver Disease}, volume={66}, ISSN={0031-9384}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s0031-9384(98)00266-2}, DOI={10.1016/s0031-9384(98)00266-2}, abstractNote={Taste and smell dysfunction has been documented in patients with both acute and chronic liver disease.

Eighteen unmedicated HIV-positive subjects and 41 healthy control subjects participated in threshold and suprathreshold experiments. All of the nucleoside medications tested were perceived as predominantly bitter (along with other qualities such as metallic, medicinal, sour, astringent, and cooling). The nucleoside analog with the lowest detection thresholds was zidovudine; the detection threshold was 1.47 mM for HIV-infected patients and 2.15 mM for control subjects.

Na-PMP has been approved for use in confectionary/frostings, soft candy and snack products in the USA at concentrations up to 150 p.p.m. A trained panel evaluated the effect of Na-PMP on the intensity of the following 15 sweeteners: three sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose), three terpenoid glycosides (monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, rebaudioside-A, stevioside), two dipeptide derivatives (alitame, aspartame), two N-sulfonylamides (acesulfame-K, sodium saccharin), two polyhydric alcohols (mannitol, sorbitol), 1 dihydrochalcone (neohesperidin dihydrochalcone), one protein (thaumatin) and one sulfamate (sodium cyclamate). Sweeteners were tested at concentrations isosweet with 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% sucrose in mixtures with two levels of Na-PMP: 250 and 500 p.p.m. In addition, the 15 sweeteners were tested either immediately or 30 s after a pre-rinse with 500 p.p.m. Na-PMP. In mixtures, Na-PMP at both the 250 and 500 p.p.m. levels significantly blocked sweetness intensity for 12 of the 15 sweeteners. However, when Na-PMP was mixed with three of the 15 sweeteners (monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and thaumatin), there was little reduction in sweetness intensity. Pre-rinsing with Na-PMP both inhibited and enhanced sweetness with the greatest enhancements found for monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and thaumatin, which were not suppressed by Na-PMP in mixtures. The mixture data suggest that Na-PMP is a selective competitive inhibitor of sweet taste. The finding that pre-treatment can produce enhancement may be due to sensitization of sweetener receptors by Na-PMP.}, number={4}, journal={Chemical Senses}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Schiffman, S.

Persons who report symptoms from odors generally find problems with many different types of odorous compounds. A review of recent studies suggests that the main complaints of health symptoms from odors are eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, and drowsiness.

Design:Cross-sectional survey. Setting:Tertiary care university medical center clinic. Participants:A total of 207 HIV-infected patients. Main outcome measures:Chemosensory complaint score from taste and smell questionnaire and quality of life scores from the Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV). Results:A total of 144 patients (70%) reported chemosensory complaints, 91 (44%) reported both taste and smell complaints, 47 (23%) reported only taste complaints, and six (3%) reported only smell complaints. Many patients complained that drugs interfered with their sense of taste, or that medications tasted bad. Higher chemosensory complaint scores were associated with a greater number of medications taken, tobacco use, and hay fever. Patients with chemosensory complaints had significantly lower scores in all domains of the MOS-HIV than those without complaints. Quality of life as measured by the MOS-HIV was lower in patients with chemosensory complaints even after controlling for number of AIDS diagnoses, number of medications, CD4 cell count, and HIV-1 viral load. Conclusions:Chemosensory complaints were common in the patient population and were associated with a poor quality of life. Medications played an important role in chemosensory complaints.

Twenty volunteers with coffee-sensitivity were studied in a double-blind, 3 period, crossover study examining the effect of three regular (caffeinated) coffees (a coffee from the USA--"A"; a "treated" coffee from Europe--"B"; and an "untreated" coffee from Europe--"C") before and after a high-fat test meal. The median acid contact times for coffees A, B, and C were 6.5%, 9%, and 10.5%, respectively (A vs. C, p = 0.005). Significantly fewer patients reported any symptoms with coffee A compared with coffee C (p < 0.05). Symptoms were usually more frequent and severe after the test meal. There was a trend toward fewer and less severe symptoms with the treated coffee (B) compared with its untreated counterpart (C). Our conclusions are as follows: (a) Different coffees induce variations in gastroesophageal reflux in coffee-sensitive individuals. (b) Coffee can be treated in a manner which decreases heartburn symptoms by 75% while decreasing acid contact by only 14%. (c) Gastroesophageal reflux and symptoms of coffee sensitivity increase with the concomitant ingestion of food. (d) Symptoms of dyspepsia appear to be influenced by variations in both the coffee itself and characteristics of susceptible individuals.

Significant differences were observed between experimental and control subjects in glutamic acid taste detection threshold (p < 0.001), quinine hydrochloride taste detection threshold (p < 0.001), menthol smell detection threshold (p < 0.001) and in the taste identification task (p = 0.006). Overall the results suggest abnormalities in the peripheral and central nervous systems, and subjective distortion of taste and smell. A significant correlation was not established between CDC classification of HIV infection and taste and smell function, although trends were observed suggesting worsening function with progression of HIV disease. These results document significant taste and smell losses in HIV infected subjects which may be of clinical significance in the development or progression of HIV associated wasting.}, number={2}, journal={Physiology & Behavior}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Graham, Camilla S. and Graham, Brevick G. and Bartlett, John A. and Heald, Alison E. and Schiffman, Susan S.}, year={1995}, month={Aug}, pages={287–293} } @article{schiffman_suggs_graham_sattely-miller_gatlin_1995, title={The effect of bitter inhibitors on taste perception of urea, quinine HCl., magnesium chloride, and caffeine}, volume={20}, journal={Chemical Senses}, author={Schiffman, S.S. and Suggs, M.S. and Graham, B.G. and Sattely-Miller, E.A. and Gatlin, L.A.}, year={1995}, pages={773} } @article{schiffman_sattely miller_suggs_graham_1995, title={The effect of environmental odors emanating from commercial swine operations on the mood of nearby residents}, volume={37}, ISSN={0361-9230}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0361-9230(95)00015-1}, DOI={10.1016/0361-9230(95)00015-1}, abstractNote={The effect of environmental odors emanating from large-scale hog operations on the mood of nearby residents was determined using the POMS (Profile of Mood States).

Panelists were given four isointense concentrations of each sweetener by itself and in the presence of two concentrations of tannic acid. Each sweetener concentration was tasted and rated four consecutive times with a 30 s interval between each taste and a 2 min interval between each concentration. Within a taste session, a series of concentrations of a given sweetener was presented in ascending order of magnitude. Adaptation was calculated as the decrease in intensity from the first to the fourth sample. The greatest adaptation in water solutions was found for acesulfame-K, Na saccharin, rebaudioside-A, and stevioside. This was followed by the dipeptide sweeteners, alitame and aspartame. The least adaptation occurred with the sugars, polyhydric alcohols, and neohesperidin dihydrochalcone. Adaptation was greater in tannic acid solutions than in water for six sweeteners.

Total avoidance of gliadin is the lifelong treatment for such patients. However, wheat gliadins are often present as impurities in industrial starch commonly used in the preparation of different pharmaceutical products. Therefore, some drugs might contain gliadin, which can be dangerous for sensitive patients if taken in large amounts or used permanently. The purpose of this study was to develop a sensitive, reliable assay that is specific for the detection of gliadins in pharmaceutical products. Gliadins were extracted here using sodium dodecyl sulfate rather than 70% ethyl alcohol, which has been the traditional solvent. This gliadin extract was utilized in a dot-blot assay that incorporated an antigliadin antibody developed in rabbit and labeled with peroxidase. 4-Chloro-1-naphthol was used as a peroxidase-specific substrate. Isolated wheat gliadin was used as the positive control. Dilution experiments showed that the lower level of sensitivity for the assay was in the range of 0.0045 mg/ml of gliadin, which is a concentration level lower than that suggested for a gluten-free diet. The assay developed here revealed that 71.2% of 59 prescription and nonprescription drugs tested contained gliadin in the amount detected by our dot-blot assay. The prescription drugs tested were among the top 50 most frequently dispensed in U.S. community pharmacies. The nonprescription drugs were among those that constitute the largest sales in the United States. The results showed that the simple dot-blot assay developed here can be used for pharmaceutical testing performed either by hospital laboratories or by patients themselves.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition}, publisher={Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health)}, author={Miletic, Ivanka Dj. and Miletic, Vojislav D. and Sattely-Miller, Elizabeth A. and Schiffman, Susan S.}, year={1994}, month={Jul}, pages={27–33} } @article{simon_disalvo_gawrisch_borovyagin_toone_schiffman_needham_mcintosh_1994, title={Increased adhesion between neutral lipid bilayers: interbilayer bridges formed by tannic acid}, volume={66}, ISSN={0006-3495}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s0006-3495(94)80988-9}, DOI={10.1016/s0006-3495(94)80988-9}, abstractNote={Tannic acid (TA) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound that aggregates membranes and neutral phosolipid vesicles and precipitates many proteins. This study analyzes TA binding to lipid membranes and the ensuing aggregation. The optical density of dispersions of phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles increased upon the addition of TA and electron micrographs showed that TA caused the vesicles to aggregate and form stacks of tightly packed disks. Solution calorimetry showed that TA bound to PC bilayers with a molar binding enthalpy of -8.3 kcal/mol and zeta potential measurements revealed that TA imparted a small negative charge to PC vesicles. Monolayer studies showed that TA bound to PC with a dissociation constant of 1.5 microM and reduced the dipole potential by up to 250 mV. Both the increase in optical density and decrease in dipole potential produced by TA could be reversed by the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone, a compound that chelates TA by providing H-bond acceptor groups. NMR, micropipette aspiration, and x-ray diffraction experiments showed that TA incorporated into liquid crystalline PC membranes, increasing the area per lipid molecule and decreasing the bilayer thickness by 2 to 4%. 2H-NMR quadrupole splitting measurements also showed that TA associated with a PC molecule for times much less than 10(-4) s. In gel phase bilayers, TA caused the hydrocarbon chains from apposing monolayers to fully interdigitate. X-ray diffraction measurements of both gel and liquid crystalline dispersions showed that TA, at a critical concentration of about 1 mM, reduced the fluid spacing between adjacent bilayers by 8-10 A. These data place severe constraints on how TA can pack between adjacent bilayers and cause vesicles to adhere. We conclude that TA promotes vesicle aggregation by reducing the fluid spacing between bilayers by the formation of transient interbilayer bridges by inserting its digallic acid residues into the interfacial regions of adjacent bilayers and spanning the interbilayer space.}, number={6}, journal={Biophysical Journal}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Simon, S.A. and Disalvo, E.A. and Gawrisch, K. and Borovyagin, V. and Toone, E. and Schiffman, S.S. and Needham, D. and McIntosh, T.J.}, year={1994}, month={Jun}, pages={1943–1958} } @article{schiffman_gatlin_suggs_heiman_stagner_erickson_1994, title={Modulators of the adenylate cyclase system can alter electrophysiological taste responses in gerbil}, volume={48}, ISSN={0091-3057}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0091-3057(94)90209-7}, DOI={10.1016/0091-3057(94)90209-7}, abstractNote={The adenylate cyclase system has been implicated in taste transduction.

Detection and recognition thresholds were determined for six bitter compounds (caffeine, denatonium benzoate, magnesium chloride, quinine hydrochloride, sucrose octaacetate, and urea) in the absence and presence of several suprathreshold concentrations of five sweeteners. The sweeteners were: sucrose, aspartame, sodium saccharin, mannitol, and sorbitol. Polycose was also tested along with the sweeteners. The degree to which bitter thresholds were affected by the addition of sweeteners was dependent on the chemical classification of the sweeteners and their concentrations. In general, the natural sweeteners, sucrose, mannitol, and sorbitol, were more effective than the noncaloric sweeteners, aspartame and sodium saccharin, in elevating the detection and recognition thresholds of the bitter compounds. A sweetness intensity approximating that of 6% sucrose (0.175 M sucrose) or greater was required to elevate thresholds. For elderly subjects, sweeteners did not significantly elevate thresholds for denatonium benzoate and sucrose octaacetate. The degree to which sorbitol and sucrose can decrease the perceived bitterness intensity of suprathreshold concentrations of the six bitter compounds was also determined. The concentrations of sweeteners and bitter compounds were selected to be of moderate to high subjective intensity. The levels of sweeteners used in the mixtures were: sucrose (none, 0.946 M, and 2.13 M) and sorbitol (none, 2.1 M, and 3.68 M). Both sweeteners significantly reduced the bitterness ratings of almost every concentration of the six bitter compounds.

In this study, the effect of sustained (3 week) flavor enhancement of typical institutional foods on the diet, health, and well being of 39 elderly (average age 84.6 SE 0.81 years) retirement-home residents was evaluated. For 3 weeks subjects ate an institutional diet (unenhanced). During another 3-week period, the same subjects ate identical foods to which intense flavors were added (enhanced). The 39 subjects were tested in two groups. For group 1 the unenhanced food period preceded the enhanced food period. For group 2, the order was reversed. Food intake was measured every weekday throughout the study, and the nutritional composition of the diet was analyzed. Biochemical measures of health status were obtained at the beginning of the study (baseline) and following both the unenhanced and enhanced periods.

A two-alternative forced choice, modified staircase procedure was used to derive a detection threshold value for citric acid. The same session also included a visual analog rating procedure to scale the taste intensity judgement of five concentrations of citric acid. The taste buds within the chamber were distinguished by methylene blue stain and recorded by videomicroscopy. The sip-and-spit method was used to contrast the spatially-matched condition with whole mouth stimulation. We found that detection threshold values were inversely related to the number of fungiform taste buds, independent of gender or age. Whole-mouth threshold values determined for each subject were always well below the spatially-matched threshold values. In addition, the data demonstrated that subjects were able to scale the dynamic range of citric acid solutions.

Electrophysiological recordings were made here from the whole chorda tympani nerve in gerbil to understand the interactive effect of astringent-tasting molecules with a broad spectrum of tastants including mono- and divalent salts, bitter compounds, acids, and sweeteners. The astringent tasting compounds were tannic acid (24 mM at pH's 2.9 and 5.5), aluminum ammonium sulfate (30 mM), aluminum potassium sulfate (10 mM) and gallic acid (30 mM). Hydrochloric acid (1 mM, pH 2.9) was also tested to control for acidity, since aqueous solutions of astringent-tasting compounds are acidic. Adaptation of the tongue to tannic acid (24 mM) at both pH 2.9 and 5.5 markedly inhibited responses elicited by salts, acids, sweeteners, and bitter-tasting compounds. The degree of the inhibition at these two pH values is about the same which suggests that tannic acid itself (as opposed to acidity) may produce this inhibition. Chorda tympani responses to sweeteners were completely suppressed by tannic acid; responses to KCl, NH4Cl, and urea were the least suppressed. The aluminum salts also inhibited the chorda tympani responses to all stimuli tested. Gallic acid, which is weakly astringent, had minimal effects on the chorda tympani responses to the test compounds. These data suggest that both tannic acid and the aluminum salts inhibit a variety of transport pathways and receptors in taste cells for a broad spectrum of tastants.

Lowering the pH from 7.4 to 3.2 decreases ion transport, as measured by the short-circuit current (Isc), when the dorsal surface of the tongue is bathed in 0.5 M NaCl and increases Isc when it is bathed in 0.05 M NaCl, tannic acid (0.1 M) inhibits Isc at both pH 3.2 and 7.4. At 0.05 M NaCl, pH 7.4 tannic acid also inhibits Isc. Thus, inhibition of Isc by tannic acid does not depend upon the pH, meaning that the reduction in transport arises from tannic acid. In the presence of NaCl (at both 0.05 and 0.5 M NaCl), 0.1 M AlK (SO4)2 or 0.1 M AlNH4(SO4)2 also inhibit Isc. For these salts, the decrease in Isc arises from the aluminum ion and not from K+, NH4+, or SO(4-)-. Other less astringent compounds (gallic and tartaric acids) had only slight effects on Isc.

There is controversy, however, whether "astringency," with its associated puckering and drying sensations, is a fundamental taste quality or is a tactile sensation. To address this issue, electrophysiological recordings were made from the gerbil chorda tympani nerve and the rat lingual nerve. The chorda tympani nerve transmits taste information from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue, whereas the lingual nerve transmits tactile, thermal and pain sensations from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. The astringent compounds tested were: tannic acid, tartaric acid, gallic acid, aluminum ammonium sulfate and aluminum potassium sulfate. Tannic acid, tartaric acid, and gallic acids were tested at concentrations up to 120 mM over a pH range from approximately 2 to 6. The aluminum salts were tested at concentrations up to 160 mM only at low pH's. All compounds rapidly (and at lower concentrations, reversibly) stimulate the chorda tympani nerve in a concentration-dependent manner at all pH's tested. The rapidity and reversibility of the chorda tympani responses suggest that astringent-tasting compounds interact directly with taste cells rather than indirectly by precipitating salivary proteins. At pH 6, tannic acid, tartaric acid, and gallic acid all elicit robust chorda tympani responses, implying that the ionized forms of these compounds produce taste sensations. None of these compounds stimulate lingual nerves over the same concentration and pH ranges used in the chorda tympani experiments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)}, number={1}, journal={Physiology & Behavior}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Schiffman, Susan S. and Suggs, Mark S. and Sostman, L. and Simon, Sidney A.}, year={1992}, month={Jan}, pages={55–63} } @article{schiffman_graham_vance_gaillard_warwick_erickson_1992, title={Detection thresholds for emulsified oils in young and elderly subjects}, volume={17}, journal={Chemical Senses}, author={Schiffman, S.S. and Graham, B.G. and Vance, A.R. and Gaillard, K. and Warwick, Z.S. and Erickson, R.P.}, year={1992}, pages={693} } @article{schiffman_nagle_1992, title={Effect of Environmental Pollutants on Taste and Smell}, volume={106}, ISSN={0194-5998 1097-6817}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/019459989210600613}, DOI={10.1177/019459989210600613}, abstractNote={Various man‐made and naturally occurring chemicals and substances can modify the chemosensory systems of animals and man.

An overview of 40 animal studies which compared growth on high-fat (HF) and high-carbohydrate (HC) solid/powdered diets indicated that the HF diet elicited greater weight gain in 33 out of 40 studies. Enhanced growth on the HF diet was often, but not exclusively, attributable to greater caloric intake. Additional evidence for the growth-enhancing effect of HF diets emerges from “diet option” and “supermarket” feeding studies in rats, and experimental and epidemiological studies in humans. Three principal factors that contribute to the different responses to HF and HC diets are (a) caloric density, (b) sensory properties and palatability, and (c) postabsorptive processing. It is concluded that both calorie intake and metabolic energy expenditure are biased towards weight gain when a HF diet is consumed, and that the high caloric density of high-fat diets plays a primary role in weight gain. Humans may be biologically predisposed to gain weight when a HF diet is consumed.}, number={4}, journal={Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Warwick, Zoe S. and Schiffman, Susan S.}, year={1992}, month={Jan}, pages={585–596} } @article{schiffman_1992, title={Taste and smell: the effect of aging, disease states, and medications}, volume={Suppl 16B}, journal={Journal of Cellular Biochemistry}, author={Schiffman, S.S.}, year={1992}, pages={260} } @inbook{schiffman_warwick_1992, place={Baton Rouge}, series={Pennington Center Nutrition Series}, title={The biology of taste and food intake}, volume={2}, booktitle={The science of food regulation: Food intake, taste, nutrient partitioning, and energy expenditure}, publisher={Louisiana State University Press}, author={Schiffman, S.S. and Warwick, Z.S.}, editor={Bray, G.

The purpose of the present study was to determine if greater inhibition could be achieved with three potent amiloride analogs that are specific for the epithelial Na+ channel: phenamil, 2′,4′-dimethylbenzamil, and 3′,4′-dichlorobenzamil. Application of phenamil (100 μM) to the anterior tongue blocked integrated responses to NaCl from the chorda tympani nerve by 98.04%, but had no significant effect on sucrose or NH4Cl. This finding suggests that the epithelial Na+ channel alone transduces the taste of NaCl in gerbil. The residual 30–40% of the response that is not blocked by amiloride can simply be explained by the fact that amiloride is less potent than phenamil. On average, 100 μM phenamil blocked responses to Na+ salts with a variety of anions by 94.2%; 100 μM 2′,4′-dimethylbenzamil, by 89.83%; and 100 μM 3′,4′-dichlorobenzamil, by 72.56%.

At hyposmotic concentrations of KCl, potassium ions enter the mucosal membrane through a K+ pathway that is inhibited by 4-aminopyridine and exit at the serosal membrane through a K+ pathway that is inhibited by BaCl2. The inhibition of sodium transport by amiloride and potassium transport by 4-aminopyridine is consistent with previously published electrophysiological recordings from the chorda tympani nerve bundle (CT) and recordings from nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) obtained here. The responses to NaCl are greater than the responses to KCl at equimolar concentrations over the entire concentration range both in epithelial and neural measurements. At hyposmotic concentrations of NaCl the epithelial responses include inward sodium and outward chloride components.

Application of amiloride to the dorsal surface of the tongue diminished the taste of NaCl, LiCl, and sweeteners in humans;’ reduced electrophysiological gustatory responses to NaCl and LiCl in rats and gerbils;’.’ and blocked increases in short-circuit current across rat and canine lingual epithelium induced by NaCI, LiCI, and sugars.’.6.8-’’ The purpose of the experiments reported here was to determine ( 1 ) if BT amplifies amiloride-sensitive components of taste (i.e., NaCl, LiCl, and sweeteners) and (2) if it does indeed amplify taste, does the enhancement involve an increase in epithelial transport similar to that observed in frog skin? In order to determine the effect of BT on taste, three types of experiments were performed (see Schiffman et a1.12). These included human psychophysical taste measurements, electrophysiological gustatory recordings in rats, and electrical measurements from isolated canine lingual epithelium. In the human experiments, half of the tongue was adapted to a drug (BT alone, BT and amiloride applied simultaneously, or amiloride alone). The other half of the tongue was adapted to a water control. A standard stimulus (0.2 M NaCI) dissolved in deionized water was applied to the drugtreated side of the tongue. Test stimuli were applied simultaneously to the nondrug side, and the concentrations were adjusted to match the perceived intensity of the standard. The results at pH 6.3 are shown in FIGURE 1. The striped bar represents the 0.2 M NaCl standard applied to the drug-treated side of the tongue. The white bar indicates the concentration perceived to match the standard. It can be seen that the 1 mM BT alone enhanced the perceived taste of 0.2 M NaCl by 33.5%. When amiloride (0.01 mM, 0.1 M, or 1 mM) was applied simultaneously with BT, the enhancement was reduced or eliminated.

It emphasizes that no sweet receptor has ever been isolated nor are the physicochemical properties of molecules necessary to initiate a sweet sensation well understood. The most prominent theory to date is that a pair of simultaneous hydrogen bonds separated by approximately 3 Å is a necessary condition for sweetness. The investigations that shed light on the nature of sweet receptors derive from a range of disciplines including organic chemistry, biochemistry, neurophysiology, psychology, biophysics, and medicinal chemistry. The chapter discusses the following topics—(1) the chemical structure of sweeteners; (2) biochemical approaches to understanding sweet receptors; (3) the electrophysiological and behavioral approaches in animals; (4) the psychophysical studies in humans including data implicating sodium transport and adenosine receptors in sweet taste; and (5) computer-assisted molecular design—a new approach to design sweeteners.}, journal={The Receptors}, publisher={Elsevier}, author={Schiffman, Susan S. and Hopfinger, Anton J. and Mazur, Robert H.}, year={1986}, pages={315–377} } @article{schiffman_1986, title={The nose as a port of entry for aluminosilicates and other pollutants: possible role in Alzheimer's disease}, volume={7}, ISSN={0197-4580}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0197-4580(86)90127-2}, DOI={10.1016/0197-4580(86)90127-2}, abstractNote={Considerably more research is necessary to evaluate the possible role of aluminosilicates in the brain pathology of Alzheimer's disease.

Adaptation of the human tongue to methyl xanthines at concentrations ranging from 10(-5) M to 10(-2) M was found to potentiate taste. The artificial sweetener acesulfam-K, which has a bitter component, was potentiated the most by MX, i.e., approximately 100%. This increase in perceived intensity for acesulfam-K occurred at 10(-5) M MX, a concentration known to inhibit adenosine receptors but below that required to inhibit phosphodiesterase. Increasing the concentration of MX as high as 10(-2) M did not increase the degree of enhancement appreciably. Taste enhancement was found for NaCl and quinine hydrochloride as well. When 10(-5) M adenosine was added to the MX, the potentiation was reversed.

Traditional theories of taste have presumed that there are four primary tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter; all other taste sensations were held to be combinations of these four. Aspartame is the artificial sweetener found to taste most similar to sugars. Sweeteners with long aftertastes such as monellin, thaumatin, and neohesperidin dihydrochalcone were perceived to deviate the most.

Other enantiomer pairs taste quite different from one another, such as L-proline which has a sweet component and D-proline which is bitter. The rank order of the threshold values for the D-forms tends to parallel those for the L-forms; the rank order correlation (Spearman's rho) is 0.87.

Two amino acids with aromatic side chains, tryptophan and phenylalanine, have greatly reduced thresholds in the D-form while asparagine and aspartic acid, along with proline, have considerably higher thresholds in the D-form. In general, it was found that whenever a marked taste difference exists, there is a trend toward a relatively large difference in threshold values between the enantiomers.

When a sugar was employed as the adapting stimulus, a consistent reduction in the intensity of the test solution's sweetness was found. However, the result of the cross adaptation when the adapting stimulus was an artificial sweetener was unpredictable; it led not only to a reduction but, in some cases, to an enhancement or no change in the test solution's intensity, depending on its identity. In previous investigations, enhancements have been explained through the existence of a water taste.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a method that may be useful in developing such a model since it can strictly relate quantitative psychophysical measures of olfactory quality with quantitative physicochemical measures. There have been many attempts at relating odor quality and chemical constitution. Henningl proposed an olfactory model (FIGURE 1) that consisted of a triangular prism with six “fundamental” odors at the corners of the prism. All other odors were considered to be mixtures of these fundamentals or primaries, and located on the edges and surfaces of the prism. Thus, odors consisting of two components would be represented along the edges of the prism. Odors with three components would occupy the triangular surfaces, and those with four components would be represented on the square surfaces, Henning associated each of his primaries with the chemical constitution of a molecule. Fyr example, he claimed that the flowery primary was due to the ortho (1:2) arrangement of functional groups on a benzene ring. Spicy smells were determined by the para (1:4) arrangement. Thus, an odorant with a sensation of flowery and spicy components should, according to Henning, have both ortho and para groups and would be represented on the flowery-spicy edge of the prism. Amoore2 suggested seven primary odor groups, each of which he related to a specific receptor site. Five primary classes (ethereal, camphoraceous, musky, floral, and minty) were associated respectively with receptor sites of the following shapes: narrow slit, ellipsoidal, elliptical but flat-bottomed, keyhole-shaped, and wedgeshaped. Specific sizes were also proposed for each of these receptor sites. The other two primary groups proposed by Amoore (pungent and putrid) are associated with negatively and positively charged receptor sites. In this scheme, complex odors are caused by simultaneous stimulation of several types of receptor sites. Wright8 suggested that molecules with similar patterns of frequencies of Raman shifts (below 700 cm-1) have similar odor qualities. The range proposed by Wright is associated with whole-molecule vibrations that are likely to be active at the temperature of the body. Specific receptor sites would be associated with specific vibrational frequencies. Although each of these theories has useful aspects, none strictly relates quantitative psychophysical measures with pmntitative physicochemical measures.

Since the structure of the space based on similarity judgments was more stable over subjects and seemed to represent more completely the tastes of the stimuli, it was considered more appropriate as a gustatory model. Using the semantic differential descriptions as well as physical continua to designate useful dimensions, it was found that the similarity space based on equi-intensive gustatory stimuli could be accurately represented by three criteria: relative goodness or badness of the taste of the stimuli, molecular weight, and departure of the stimuli from the neutral pH of 7.
