Abstract

From previous studies, there are two effects with cathodal current stimulation (i.e., Taste suppression and taste enhancement). Taste suppression is evoked during applying stimulation and taste enhancement is evoked when the stimulation is ended. Electrical stimulation can enhance taste without additional tastant. Therefore, it is expected to apply to the support of diet. However, the duration of taste enhancement was too short time to use the purpose. Thus, we demonstrated, in this paper, that the repetitive square current stimulation which is novel method has continuous taste enhancement effect in sodium chloride and glutamic sodium.
