Gradual increases in sugar concentration enhance total perceived sweetness in individuals prone to sweetness habituation by Ryota Nitto, Yuki Ban, Rui Fukui, Shin'ichi Warisawa

“…Participants were instructed to swallow at 3-second intervals for a total of five times, rating sweetness after each swallow. The total perceived sweetness, measured as the Area Under the Curve (AUC), was compared across conditions.ResultsIn groups showing habituation under constant concentration, the increasing concentration condition improved total perceived sweetness.DiscussionThese findings suggest that increasing sugar concentration patterns can alleviate habituation and enhance sweetness perception, particularly in individuals prone to sweetness habituation.…”
