Daily experience tells us that temperature has a strong influence on how we taste. Despite the longstand- ing interest of many specialists in this aspect of taste, we are only starting to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the temperature dependence of different taste modalities. Recent research has led to the identification of some strong thermosensitive molecules in the taste transduction pathway. The cold activation of the epithelial Na + channel and the heat activation of the taste variant of the vanilloid receptor (TRPV1t) may underlie the tem- perature dependence of salt responses. Heat activation of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM5 explains the enhancement of sweet taste perception by warm tem- peratures. Current development of methods to study taste cell physiology will help to determine the contribution of other temperature-sensitive events in the taste transduc- tion pathways. Vice versa, the analysis of the thermody- namic properties of these events may assist to unveil the nature of several taste processes.
