Abstract

Sweet taste is considered to be the most desirable taste category. With recent advances and gene mappingtechniques, the genes associated with sweet taste were identified, namely, TAS1R family and the Saclocus. In this review, we have tried to summarise the association of sweet taste and genetics, involving thestudies related to sweet taste receptors, sweet taste preferences and how sweet taste preference can becomea potential phenotype that influences alcohol intake and dental caries. The PubMed and Google Scholardatabases were searched for articles using keywords ‘sweet taste’, ‘genes’, ‘sweet taste preferences’, ‘sweettaste and alcohol’, ‘dental caries’, etc. The process also involved hand searching using references.
