Taste Chemistry

This text examines the meaning of the established premise that "taste is a chemical sense". In particular, it considers the degree to which chemical principles apply to the phenomena associated with the inductive phase of taste; describes the structure and properties of compounds of varying tastes that allow the nature of the receptors for different tastes to be postulated; and includes interdisciplinary observations that maybe applied to the solution of problems related to the chemical nature of taste. The largest portion of text is directed towards sweetness.
