## Abstract The previous finding that only one half of a disaccharide molecule binds to the taste receptor site is fully substantiated but the linkage and the sugar residues of the disaccharide are important. The study is extended to the field of bitterness and it is observed that binding on to the
The preferable structural feature for sweetness is a lipophilic moiety, e.g., a fiveor six-membered ring with a polar substituent containing an A-H/B system outside the ring. In ketoses, this unit is probably the 1,2-glycol. If a third feature (the lipophilic, 7, site) is required for the attainment
