一碗同等糖份的紅豆沙,如果將熱紅豆沙和凍紅豆沙比較的話,熱紅豆沙感覺起上來總是會比較甜,究竟為何會這樣呢?1414Please respect copyright.PENANAKmX6gdcMZ9

答案就在於舌頭上的味蕾感測機制之上。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAeKp0yk0m9W
1414Please respect copyright.PENANAMeyodBlj9L
(圖2)我們的舌頭上佈滿味蕾細胞,主要功能是為我們感測食物的味道。1414Please respect copyright.PENANA3cTINGPVii
以感測甜味為例,以下為扼要的簡化過程。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAt5OVVez6CR
1414Please respect copyright.PENANAztbQCMteYf
1414Please respect copyright.PENANAG2XkGwHFXq
1.甜味物質與味蕾上的T1R2及T1R3合併。1414Please respect copyright.PENANA6dJiPXiQdg
(Type1 Taste Receptor member 2 and 3)1414Please respect copyright.PENANAJ18C8m1TpY

2.其後觸發一系列的細胞反應,並產生出鈣離子(Ca2+ ion)。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ2NwpMNqM
1414Please respect copyright.PENANAzdTAZjIBkg
3. 鈣離子觸動TRPM5,產生電流。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAEABp37VBRM
1414Please respect copyright.PENANARc5vCmlrZ5
4. 電流經由神經細胞傳到大腦。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAZcMZK1xzzK
1414Please respect copyright.PENANAUIcvtPfDgk
5. 大腦分析電流訊息,製造甜味的感覺。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAVPCdwxuiPK

(圖3)那麼,為何熱紅豆沙會比較甜呢?玄機就在圖中機制的第三步。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAIivJwRAeYK

TRPM5除了能夠感測鈣離子後,亦能感測溫度。1414Please respect copyright.PENANAYQx9XSeT1x
若然食物溫度提升的話,TRPM5所發出的電流強度便會有所增長。1414Please respect copyright.PENANANPWIspc6Ax
而電流越強的話,大腦便會轉遞出越甜的感覺。1414Please respect copyright.PENANA8w9AbauLeI
1414Please respect copyright.PENANAVTkM9DXY1i
而正正就是因為這個緣故,儘管糖份一樣,熱紅豆沙食起上來會比凍紅豆沙感覺起上來會比較甜。1414Please respect copyright.PENANA8fzYAGePhS
