Clinical trials: Taste Sensitivity
Taste Sensitivity, Umami Taste Perception
Umami Taste Intensity and Meal Intake
Sweet and salty tastes can influence food intake. Increased intensity of these tastes has been shown to decrease food intake and increase satiation compared to the less intense taste, independent of palatability.
