  1. 1. Is sugar as sweet to the palate asseeds are appetizing to the belly? : Taste responsiveness to seven sweet-tastingsubstances in white-faced sakis (Pithecia pithecia)

    Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Mikel Redin Hurtado; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Food-associated carbohydrates; relative sweetness; seed predation; steviol glycosides; taste preference thresholds; taste responsiveness; white-faced sakis;

    Sammanfattning : Differences in taste perception between species are thought to reflect evolutionaryadaptations to dietary specializations such as seed predation. By employing a two-bottlepreference test, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the taste responsiveness forfive food-associated carbohydrates and two steviol glycosides in four adult white-faced sakis(Pithecia pithecia).

    Nyckelord :chimpanzees; fructose; lactose; glucose; maltose; rebaudioside A; stevioside; sucrose; taste preference threshol;

    Sammanfattning : Comparative studies of taste perception have found that primates may differ markedly in their sensitivity for substances perceived as sweet by humans. These findings raise questions about the reason that may underlie these differences in sweet-taste sensitivity between species. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Taste responsiveness to the 20 proteinogenic amino acids and taste preference thresholds for Glycine and L-Proline in spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)

    Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Anna Maitz; [2009]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The present study assessed the taste responsiveness of four female spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) to the 20 proteinogenic amino acids and determined taste preference thresholds for Glycine and L-Proline. To this end a two-bottle preference test of brief duration (1min) was employed. LÄS MER
