Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Investigators are trying to find the concentrations of fatty acids ( a part of the fat and flavor typically found in normal foods) that have a taste intensity similar to that to the sourness of vinegar solutions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will first taste 5 sour solution containing acetic acid for sour compounds, sucrose esters, and xanthan gum to help them stay dissolved). Then rate them for their taste intensities. Next, participants will taste 5 butyric acid solutions, 5 hexenoic acid solutions, 5 caprylic acid solutions, 5 lauric acid solutions, 5 palmitic acid solutions, 5 oleic acid solutions, and 5 linoleic acid solutions (all will also contain the sucrose esters and xanthan gums.) and rate them for their taste intensities. This should take no longer than 1 hour. Participants will spit all samples into a cup after tasting them. They will not swallow any samples.
