Salivary Interactions with Chemosensations
common.study.values.description
“Salivary Interactions With Chemosensations”
A counterbalanced, crossover design will be used to evaluate whether exposure to flavors vs. a control over time alters the perception of the flavor by changing an individual's salivary protein profile. Participants will complete 3 acute tasting protocols (baseline, after intervention 1, after intervention 2). The interventions will be with the flavor (epigallocatechin gallate, linolenic acid, capsaicin) or a control, in counterbalanced order, and will involve swishing and swallowing a solution of that sample 5 times per day for two weeks. Each of these flavors will be a separate sub-study.
