Journal ArticleDOI

Bitter or not? BitterPredict, a tool for predicting taste from chemical structure.

TL;DR: A machine learning classifier, BitterPredict, is presented, which predicts whether a compound is bitter or not, based on its chemical structure, providing a quick and reliable tool for classifying large sets of compounds into bitter and non-bitter groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discrimination and characterisation of three cultivars of Perilla frutescens by means of sensory descriptors and electronic nose and tongue analysis

TL;DR: The crisp green-leaves Perilla was the most odourous sample being described by high intensity of Grassy and Floral odour and, accordingly, by electronic nose sensors, while the crisp red-leaved Perillawas perceived as the least astringent and pungent.
Journal ArticleDOI

The taste of D- and L-amino acids: In vitro binding assays with cloned human bitter (TAS2Rs) and sweet (TAS1R2/TAS1R3) receptors.

TL;DR: This work elucidates the molecular activity of d- and l-amino acids using an in vitro system based on a cellular model overexpressing sweet and bitter receptors, and provides the first systematic analysis of l- and d-aminos acid actions on the sweet heterodimeric receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taste-guided identification of high potency TRPA1 agonists from Perilla frutescens.

TL;DR: Perillaldehyde and perillaketone are among the components of the aromatic extracts from P. Frutescens that were shown to activate the cloned TRPA1 channel when expressed in a heterologous cell system and are suggested to be responsible for the chemesthetic properties of this plant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Moringa oleifera Leaf Powder on Postprandial Blood Glucose Response: In Vivo Study on Saharawi People Living in Refugee Camps.

TL;DR: MO leaf powder could be a hypoglycemic herbal drug, however, given the poor taste acceptability of the 20 g MO meal, lower doses should be evaluated and the hypogly diabetic effects of MO leaf powder should be demonstrated by trials evaluating its long-term effects on glycaemia.
