Proteins in saliva samples taken from twelve subjects immediately before and immediately after tasting astringent solutions were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Although considerable variation in both the qualitative and quantitative protein pattern was observed among individuals, three peaks appeared to be common to the majority of the chromatograms. The tasting of the astringent solutions resulted in detectable changes in the protein profile of the saliva samples, observed in all the chromatograms examined, and attributed to the interactions of the saliva proteins with the astringent phenolic compounds. The appearance of a major peak at 8 min after the tasting of the astringent compounds common to most of the saliva chromatograms was attributed to the formation of soluble protein-phenol complexes.
