Abstract:

The mechanism by which cathodal current stimulation exerts inhibitory effects on the five basic tastes is revealed herein. The objective of this paper is to successfully achieve inhibition of sweetness by cathodal current electrical stimulation to the tongue, which has not been reported to date, though inhibition of salty and umami perception has been documented. By focusing on the electrophoresis of ions generated by dissolution of taste-inducing substances in water, this paper indicates how human gustation is inhibited by electrical stimulation, which is a key addition to the knowledgebase for achieving control of all five basic tastes.
