PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
Denatonium benzoate (DB), one of the most bitter-tasting substances known, is described as highly unpleasant at a lower amount and can cause perceptible bitterness. DB has been demonstrated extensively as a bitter taste agonist and used to activate bitter taste receptors in many cell types, including taste cells. DB is intensely bitter and non-toxic and can be detected by human taste receptors. For these reasons, DB has been broadly added to liquid detergents, cosmetics, plastic toys and personal care products to avoid the consumption of harmful substances. Aside from its strong bitter taste, DB also exerts biological effects on various physiological systems in different organisms. Exposure to DB quickly suppressed ongoing intake and delayed gastric emptying in rodents.
