Studies on a Model of Bitter Peptides Including Arginine, Proline and Phenylalanine Residues. II. Bitterness Bahaviour of a Tetrapeptide (Arg-Pro-Phe-Phe) and Its Derivatives

In order to investigate the production of a strong bitter taste of the tetrapeptide.Arg-Pro-Phe-Phe (1), we synthesized 16 kinds of analogs and tasted them.From the results it was clarified that all the constituent amino acid residues in Arg-Pro-Phe-Phe (1) were necessary for its strong bitter taste.For a further increase in bitterness potency, it was found that the bitterness production units necessary should be concentrated together.In addition, Arg-Pro-Gly-Gly (6) and Gly-Gly-Arg-Pro (7) were found to have no bitterness.This will be very useful not only for studies on debittering of food but also for basic studies on the taste production mechanism.
