1979 journal article

Increased taste thresholds of amino acids with age

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 32(8), 1622–1627.

By: S. Schiffman* , K. Hornack* & D. Reilly *

MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Aging; Amino Acids; Female; Humans; Male; Taste; Taste Threshold
topics (OpenAlex): Advanced Chemical Sensor Technologies; Biochemical Analysis and Sensing Techniques; Olfactory and Sensory Function Studies
TL;DR: Taste detection thresholds for 19 L-amino acids and four monohydrochloride derivatives were determined for young and elderly subjects, and the elderly were found to have significantly diminished sensitivity. (via Semantic Scholar)

1979 journal article

Qualitative differences among sweeteners

Physiology & Behavior, 23(1), 1–9.

By: S. Schiffman* , D. Reilly * & T. Clark*

MeSH headings : Adolescent; Adult; Chemical Phenomena; Chemistry; Humans; Psychophysics; Sweetening Agents; Taste
topics (OpenAlex): Biochemical Analysis and Sensing Techniques; Diet, Metabolism, and Disease; Regulation of Appetite and Obesity
TL;DR: Wide variability in the patterns of intensity ratings over subjects suggests that the sweet taste may be mediated by several peripheral receptor mechanisms. (via Semantic Scholar)

1979 journal article

Decreased Discrimination of Food Odors in the Elderly

Journal of Gerontology, 34(1), 73–79.

By: S. Schiffman*  & M. Pasternak *

MeSH headings : Adult; Age Factors; Aged; Discrimination, Psychological; Female; Food; Humans; Individuality; Male; Smell
topics (OpenAlex): Olfactory and Sensory Function Studies; Sensory Analysis and Statistical Methods; Advanced Chemical Sensor Technologies
TL;DR: The weights and individual subject spaces suggested that the ability of subjects to judge qualitative odor differences between food flavors may decrease with age. (via Semantic Scholar)
