Abstract□ A multichannel taste sensor whose transducer is composed of several kinds of
lipid/polymer membranes with different characteristics can detect taste in a manner similar to …

Humans can perceive and distinguish between five taste components, namely, sour ness,
saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, and umami (in Japanese). In general, bitter-tasting …

For drugs with both an amino (cationic) group and carboxylic acid (anionic) group in the
molecule, such as theophylline, caffeine, and metronidazole, the relative response electric …

We describe a new method for the evaluation of the bitterness of medicines by semi-
continuous measurement of adsorption using a multichannel taste sensor or 'electric …

Pungent and astringent substances have been studied using a multichannel taste sensor.
The electric-potential pattern made up of eight outputs from the membranes of the sensor …

Astringent substances and pungent substances were studied using a multichannel taste
sensor with lipid membranes. The electric-potential pattern constructed of eight outputs from …

A taste sensor with lipid/polymer membranes is one of the devices that can evaluate taste
objectively. However, the conventional taste sensor cannot measure non-charged bitter …

A taste sensor based on lipid/polymer membranes has been reported being possible to
detect the masking of bitter substances or masking on bitterness receptors (physical …

Taste of amino acids was studied using a multichannel taste sensor with lipid membranes as
the transducer of taste substances. The study on taste of amino acids has drawn much …

Taste sensors are composed of a number of functional sensors with artificial lipid
membranes of different compositions.(1, 2) Each sensor is capable of identifying a specific …
