Scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology in Germany extracted three chemical compounds from a fungus called 'Amaropostia stiptica'. The effects of these substances on the bitter taste receptors in the human tongue were examined. It was noted that one of the compounds, oligoporin D, could trigger a bitter taste even in low amounts.
NOT TOXIC BUT VERY BITTER
According to the research, the compounds are not toxic, but their tastes are extremely bitter. Scientists stated that such natural bitter compounds could affect not only the mouth but also the bitter receptors found in the stomach, intestines, heart, and lungs. However, it was noted that the exact role of these sensors in other parts of the body is not fully understood.
Dr. Maik Behrens, a co-author of the study, conveyed that such studies could provide clearer information on how bitter taste receptors work and why they evolved. Dr. Behrens said, "The more data we collect on bitter compounds and receptors, the easier it will be to identify new substances and predict their effects."
