Resumen

Antecedentes: existe interés en conocer la posible influencia de la percepción del gusto, y su efecto sobre la elección de la dieta y la conducta alimentaria. Objetivo: conocer los factores que modulan la percepción de los gustos básicos y su relación con el consumo de alimentos. Materiales y métodos: se hizo una búsqueda bibliográfica en bases de datos: Science Direct, Medline y Pubmed, sobre la sensación del gusto, sin considerar lo que se denomina el flavor. Resultados: se ha avanzado en las bases fisiológicas de los gustos básicos: dulce, salado, ácido, amargo y umami, recientemente se ha propuesto el gusto graso, pero aún no hay consenso al respecto. El gusto y la selección de alimentos dependen de factores genéticos, las primeras experiencias con estímulos sápidos, incluso antes de nacer, factores culturales, sociales, individuales y otros relacionados con el alimento. No se ha podido demostrar asociación entre consumo excesivo de alimentos hipercalóricos con la sensibilidad gustativa, ni sobre esta última con la obesidad. Conclusión: el efecto de la percepción del gusto sobre el consumo de alimentos y su relación con la obesidad, aun es motivo de controversia. Se recomienda educar en la infancia sobre las percepciones gustativas, con el fin de adquirir buenos hábitos alimentarios.
