The object ofthis text is to examine, and elaborate on the meaning
of the established premise that 'taste is a chemical sense.' In
particular, the major effort is directed toward the degree to which
chemical principles apply to phenomena associated with the
inductive (recognition) phase of taste. A second objective is to
describe the structure and properties of compounds with varying
taste that allow decisions to be made with respect to the probable
nature of the recognition chemistry for the different tastes, and
the probable nature of the receptor(s) for those tastes. A final
objective is to include appropriate interdisciplinary observations
that have application to solving problems related to the chemical
nature of taste. Taste is the most easily accessible chemical
structure-biological activity relationship, and taste chemistry
studies, i.e. the chemistry of sweetness, saltiness, sourness, and
bitterness, have application to general biology, physiology, and
pharmacology. Because it involves sensory perception, taste is also
of interest to psychologists, and has application to the food and
agricultural industries. The largest portion of the text is
directed toward sweetness as, due to economic and other factors,
the majority of the scientific studies are concerned with
sweetness. The text begins with a prologue to describe the problems
associated with the study of taste chemistry. Then, there is an
introductory chapter to serve as an overview of the general
interdisciplinary knowledge of the subject. It is followed by a
chapter on the fundamental chemical principles that apply to taste
induction chemistry.
