19 Taste Testing: Purpose, Procedure, Interpretation
251
A person’s sense of taste might be affected by their genes. An inherited feature is the capacity to detect the bitter avor of phenylthiourea and other molecules con­taining a -N-C=group. Caffeine, potassium chloride (KCl), and saccharin are all seen as more bitter by phenylthiourea tasters, according to studies. The inability to taste is a severe symptom of type I familial dysautonomia (Riley–Day syn­drome) [18].
Taste sensitivity can be impaired by injuries to the central nervous system or peripheral nerves, such as in multiple sclerosis, facial paralysis, or thalamic or uncal lesions.
Diseases such as lichen planus, aglycogeusia, Sjögren syndrome, renal failure with uremia and dialysis, erythema multiforme, geographic tongue, and cirrhosis can all have an impact on a person’s sense of taste [18].
19.4.1 Taste Dysfunction
Due to the redundancy in taste neuroanatomy, ageusia is uncommon, although dys­geusia and hypogeusia are more common [20]. Dysgeusia and hypogeusia can occur when there is a problem with the salivary glands, carrier proteins, or taste receptors [1], all of which are necessary for normal gustatory function.
Infectious and Inammatory Causes
• Dysgeusia and hypogeusia can be caused by infections and inammatory disor-
ders everywhere in the oropharynx, including the teeth, larynx, throat, tongue,
taste buds, and salivary glands [1].
Infectious causes [1]:
– Dysgeusia may be caused by gingivitis, oropharyngeal candidiasis (thrush),
or dental caries. Oropharyngeal infections can impair Gustatory function, reducing the blood supply to the tongue and taste buds. In addition, genetic polymorphisms in taste receptor proteins, which alter taste sensitivity and preferences for sweet tastes, may predispose individuals to developing dental caries by causing an increase in sugary food consumption [24].
– In the context of inuenza-like diseases, hypogeusia and dysgeusia can occur,
possibly due to taste pore rupture and inammatory cell inltration into the lamina propria [25].
– Ageusia and anosmia are often the rst signs of coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) in patients, appearing either before or after the beginning of other symptoms [2630]. Sixty-three to eighty-ve percent of patients experi­ence taste and smell disturbances, with most experiencing symptoms within 4days after becoming unwell [3134].
Inammatory causes:
• Hypogeusia and dysgeusia can be caused by inammation of the salivary glands,
as seen in Sjögren’s syndrome, other autoimmune illnesses, or systemic radioio-
dine therapy [35, 36]. Additionally, xerostomia (dry mouth) may boost the dan-
ger of tooth decay [37].

• If the tongue is inamed (glossitis), the taste pores that allow tastants to reach the
taste buds may close. Atrophic glossitis, where many or all of the lingual papillae
and taste buds are lost, can be brought back to health by taking vitamin B-12
supplements [1].
• Direct harm to taste cells and damage to taste buds and salivary glands [38] can
result from radiation therapy (or accidental exposure to ionizing radiation) to the
head and neck, leading to impaired taste. Oropharyngeal infections, made more
likely by reduced saliva production, can further diminish gustatory function [39].
Radiation dosage to the tongue signicantly correlates with the severity of taste
impairment. Since taste cells are constantly regenerated, taste impairment
improves over time once radiation therapy is nished [38].
• Hypogeusia and dysgeusia can be caused by acid reux, specically laryngopha-
ryngeal reux [4042], which can alter one’s taste preferences and sensitiv-
ity [43].
• Direct tastant activity, effects on saliva, taste receptor cells, peripheral neurons,
the central nervous system (CNS), and zinc levels, among other unknown prod-
ucts [1, 2], are just some of the processes by which medications might alter
gustatory function.
Drugs
• Some drugs that may cause adverse reactions in the sense of taste include [1]:
• Treatments for dysgeusia include the following:
– ACE inhibitors, ARBs, dipyridamole, nitroglycerin, vandetanib, and
vismodegib – Acetazolamide and methylphenidate for bitter dysgeusia – Drugs such as allopurinol, baclofen, beta-lactam antibiotics (such amoxicil-
lin and cephalexin), clarithromycin, metronidazole, ethambutol, urazepam,
interferon-gamma, levamisole, lithium, tetracycline, tocainide, and intrave-
nous lidocaine have been shown to alleviate symptoms of metallic dysgeusia.
– Hypogeusia (to one or more tastants) or ageusia—angiotensin-converting
enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), amiloride,
amphotericin B, amrinone, bleomycin, carbamazepine, carboplatin, cisplatin,
chlorhexidine mouth rinse, dicyclomine, diltiazem. – Chemical, toxic, and metal exposure often result in dysgeusia and phantogeu-
sia; ageusia is unusual [1].
Exposure to chemicals, toxins, and metals—Exposure to chemicals, toxins, and metals typically causes dysgeusia and phantogeusia; ageusia is rare [1].
– Taste bud morphology [44] and peripheral and central nervous system (CNS)
signal transmission [45] can be altered by acute exposure to organophos­phates, leading to impaired gustatory function. Ingesting contaminated air, water, or food exposes taste buds to pesticides.
– Mercury, copper, zinc, chromium, arsenic, and lead are only some of the met-
als and metalloids that have been linked to altered taste. All seven adults reported a sweet metallic taste in a case series of occupational acute lead poisoning [46]. In addition to respiratory and systemic problems [47], a sweet,
19 Taste Testing: Purpose, Procedure, Interpretation
253
metallic taste is a dening feature of metal-fume fever (occupational exposure to zinc oxide fumes in brass and steel foundry workers and welders).
– Short-term dysgeusia has been linked to acute solvent exposure [48, 49].
Due to the redundancy of the nerves involved in taste function, cases of complete
ageusia caused by nerve injury are sporadic; similarly, chances of profound hypo­geusia in the absence of substantial central neurologic impairment are equally uncommon. For instance, patients with a history of head trauma were shown to have a prevalence of 19% for dysgeusia but just 2% for total loss of taste [50].
However, mild hypogeusia is more common in the presence of nerve injury and
is associated with regionalized loss of taste. For instance, the anterior two-thirds of the tongue on the affected side can be affected by taste loss or dysgeusia if the chorda tympani nerve is injured [51]. Third, molar extractions are associated with chorda tympani and lingual nerve risks [52, 53]. The lingual branch of the glosso­pharyngeal nerve [54] can be injured during bronchoscopy, laryngoscopy, or tonsil­lectomy, leading to impaired taste.
Zinc deciency is linked to dysgeusia and hypogeusia [55, 56], and vitamin B-12
deciency can impair taste function by inducing atrophic glossitis. Patients with taste disturbances at risk for zinc deciency should have their zinc levels checked [57], including those with malnutrition, malabsorption, Crohn’s disease, chronic liver disease, diabetes mellitus, sickle cell disease, and end-stage kidney disease.
Dysgeusia has been linked to several metabolic and endocrine problems, such as
early onset polycystic kidney disease (ESKD), hypothyroidism, and diabetes mel­litus (types I and II) [45].
Multiple factors contribute to the taste changes seen in ESKD [58, 59]. Fewer
fungiform taste buds have been linked to ESKD [60], and hemodialysis patients with ESKD have lower saliva production and a different saliva composition [61]. Zinc deciency may also occur in hemodialysis patients [62].
• Dysgeusia and hypogeusia are the most common taste impairments in diabetic patients, but other states exist. Patients with diabetes may experience hypogeusia to sweet taste, characterized by an elevated taste threshold for sweet avors relative to healthy controls [63]. Dysgeusia may also be inuenced by diabetic neuropathy [64].
• Dysgeusia may be related to hypothyroidism. In a cohort of 18 people with untreated primary hypothyroidism, for instance, more than 80% were found to show hypogeusia to one or more taste stimuli [65], even though only 50% of those people believed their sense of taste was impaired or altered. Multiple fac­tors, including changes in saliva production, mucous membrane, and taste bud shape, likely contribute to taste disruption in hypothyroidism. However, the taste disturbance disappears if thyroid function is restored to normal [66].
Multiple sclerosis [67, 68], Parkinson’s disease [69], and Alzheimer’s disease
[70] have all been linked to hypogeusia or dysgeusia as a symptom of their respec­tive diseases.

Unknown in origin, burning mouth syndrome (BMS) primarily affects post-
menopausal women and is characterized by chronic, uctuating, burning intraoral discomfort without external evidence of inammation [71, 72]. The exact patho­physiologic process is unclear, but it is thought to be related to peripheral and cen­tral nervous system dysfunction.
19.4.2 COVID-19
The 2019 coronavirus illness (COVID-19) is characterized by anosmia and dysgeu­sia. Anosmia, hyposmia, and dysgeusia should raise suspicion of COVID-19 infec­tion, according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) [7375]. This is especially true in patients who do not have other respiratory diseases, such as allergic rhinitis, acute rhinosinusitis, or chronic rhinosinusitis. After exposure to the COVID-19 virus (i.e., severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)), the CDC has added “new loss of taste or smell” to the list of symptoms that may appear 2–14days later [76]. The WHO has included the inability to detect odors or avors in the list of less common symptoms associated with COVID-19 [77].
In a study of 103 individuals with COVID-19, Speth etal. [78] showed that olfac-
tory impairment was present in 61.2% of cases, with onset at median infection day
3. Loss of taste correlated strongly with the severity of olfactory impairment.
Patients also reported signicantly worse shortness of breath when they had olfac­tory impairment. Researchers also discovered that olfactory impairment was more common in women [78] and decreased with age.
Aziz et al. [79] conducted a literature review and found that over 50% of
COVID-19 patients have impaired taste sense using pooled analysis; however, the frequency may be signicantly more signicant due to underreporting [79].

19.5 Taste Disorder Diagnosis

A taste or smell disorder can be diagnosed with a complete history and physical examination. Pay close attention to a patient’s history of URIs, nasal or sinus pathol­ogy, trauma, other medical issues, and drugs [18].
Sinus CT scans should be ordered if the patient’s history and physical examina-
tion do not t a typical prole. Without central nervous system symptoms or an abnormal neurologic examination, an intracranial mass such as meningioma is unlikely to cause olfactory loss. A brain MRI is usually only advised when the his­tory is complicated or additional neurologic symptoms or signs are present (for instance, a 50-year-old woman with a taste phantom that has persisted for 6months). A typical laboratory panel is not indicated, although tests can be ordered to assess for allergies, diabetes, thyroid issues, kidney and liver health, hormone imbalances, and nutritional deciencies. Biopsy of the olfactory epithelium is primarily employed as a research tool [18].

19.6 Taste Evaluation intheClinic
Taste disorder evaluation has yet to progress as far as olfactory disorder evaluation. Specically, thresholds of detection or recognition must be determined. Since only ve primary taste sensations and only four of them are evaluated [18], there is no analogous strategy to odor identication tests.
The threshold evaluation is affected by the tongue’s ability to produce saliva and by
the size of the stimulated tongue area. Therefore, the results of such examinations tend to vary widely. There is no guarantee that a change in suprathreshold taste intensity will correlate with a shift in threshold detection. The extent of gustatory function or impairment cannot be determined only through taste threshold testing. After radiation therapy, a patient’s recognition thresholds for the four taste attributes may return to normal, but the reported tastes may still be substantially diminished in magnitude [18].
19.6.1 Predicting theThreshold
It is possible to acquire a set of 16 taste strips (Burghart, Messtechnik, Germany) that have already been impregnated with four different taste qualities (sweet, sour, salty, and bitter) at four different concentrations. Sweet (0.4g/mL sucrose), sour (0.3g/mL citric acid), salty (0.2g/mL sodium chloride), bitter (0.006g/mL quinine hydrochloride), and umami (0.025g/mL sodium chloride). There are published nor­mative values [18] for these tapes.
19.6.2 Magnitude Matching
In suprathreshold testing, the patient’s reactions to tastes with intensities beyond the threshold are evaluated. Magnitude matching [18] is a psychophysical technique to quantify this characteristic.
Numbers have been used in other studies of suprathreshold tastes, but a direct
comparison between people is impossible. There is no psychological signicance to round numbers such as 10 or 100 [18].
In contrast, the process [18] of magnitude matching makes use of one normal
sensory modality (hearing) to compensate for a decit in another modality (taste).
For the magnitude matching job, we supply a range of salt, sugar, acid, and alka-
line tones (1000Hz) and a range of sodium chloride, sucrose, citric acid, and qui­nine hydrochloric acid concentrations. While listening to the tones through headphones, the patient drinks each solution and attempts to expectorate it. The individual gives subjective ratings of stimulus intensity. By comparing the data to loudness functions, we can see that taste disorders manifest as subdued psycho­physical responses. That is, in contrast to people without hypogeusia, those who suffer from this condition tend to equate higher concentrations of tastes with lower tones. The principal drawbacks of this testing method are that it requires normal hearing to function and is highly time-consuming to administer and interpret [18].

19.6.3 Spatial Test
The ability to taste in different parts of the mouth and tongue can be evaluated with a spatial test. Damage to any of the three major nerves that supply the gustatory system [18]—the glossopharyngeal nerve, the vagus nerve, and the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve—or their ganglia can result in a disturbance of taste that can be assessed only by examining the anatomic areas supplied by those nerves.
Four pieces of standard-sized lter paper are saturated with high concentrations
of the four fundamental avors to conduct the tests. The sheets are distributed ran­domly throughout all eight tongue segments and both sides of the soft palate. Patients then used the same scale as in the whole-mouth assessment [18] to rate the intensity and quality of the avor.
