Recently more interest is evolving for research on gustatory function, also due to findings of â€extraoral†taste receptors with postulated participation in a pathogen detection network. Also, bitter taste function seems to be reduced in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. For testing gustatory function â€taste strips†(TS) have been validated in a forced-choice (fc) and a non-forced-choice (nfc) paradigm and used in several studies. Purpose of the investigation was to evaluate possible differences of named modalities.
