The ability to taste bitter thiourea compounds, such as phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and 6-n-
propylthiouracil (PROP), is inherited. Polymorphisms in the bitter-taste receptor TAS2R38 …

Previous studies have shown that inherited taste blindness to bitter compounds like 6‐n‐
propylthiouracil (PROP) may be a risk factor for obesity, but this literature has been highly …

Genetic sensitivity to the bitter taste of phenylthiocarbamide and 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP)
is a well-studied human trait. It has been hypothesized that this phenotype is a marker for …

Previous studies show that children who are sensitive to the bitter taste of 6-n-
propylthiouracil (PROP) report more frequent intake of sweets and less frequent intake of …

Abstract Background/Aims: Variations in bitter receptor gene TAS2R38 affect the perception
of bitter-tasting compound 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP). The perception of PROP has been …

Adult tasters of 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) are more sensitive to bitter taste and fattiness in
foods, and often show lower acceptance of foods that are high in these taste qualities. This …

Objective. Flavor is the primary dimension by which young children determine food
acceptance. However, children are not merely miniature adults because sensory systems …

The ability to taste bitter thiourea compounds and related chemicals is a well‐known human
trait. The majority of individuals perceive these compounds, typified by the bitterness of 6‐n …

The human population displays high variation in taste perception. Differences in individual
taste sensitivity may also impact on nutrient intake and overall appetite. A well-characterized …

Objective: Negative associations between the inherited ability to taste the bitter compound 6‐
n‐propylthiouracil (PROP) and preference for fat and body weight have been observed in …
