音乐对味觉辨别阈的影响

Exploration of taste threshold affected by music

目的探讨舒缓和激烈2种不同风格音乐对酸甜苦咸4种味觉辨别阈的影响。方法采用单盲自身前后对照的试验方法对60名健康受试者在16∶30—18∶00这一时段测试酸甜苦咸4种基本味觉的辨别阈值。为避免聆听不同风格的音乐前后产生的相互干扰,每名受试者均参加2 d的测试:第1天受试者测试4种味觉辨别阈,随后聆听10 min舒缓的"班得瑞系列纯乐曲"后,再次测试。第2天程序同上,音乐类型换为激烈的"林肯公园系列纯乐曲"。然后分别比较聆听2种音乐前后4种味觉辨别阈的变化。结果聆听舒缓音乐后苦的味觉辨别阈降低,差异具有统计学差异(P<0.05)。结论音乐对味觉有一定的影响,舒缓音乐刺激具有使苦味觉辨别阈降低的效果。

Objective To explore the influence of two different styles music on taste threshold. Methods A single blind, before-after study was carried out during 16：30--18：00 time-period to find out the threshold ranges of acidity, sugariness, bitterness, saltiness and discrepancy with 60 healthy volunteers. In order to avoid different music＇s mutual interference, every volunteer was asked to participate in a two-day test： The first day, measure four kinds of taste thresholds, then listen to soothing music ＂bandari＂ 10 min, measure again. The second day the program repeated, music changed for intense music ＂linkin park＂. Then compare the taste threshold changes before and after two kinds of music respectively. Results The threshold range of bitterness diminished after soothing music, there was statistical difference （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Music therapy had certain effect on taste threshold, the soothing music stimulation could reduce the threshold range of bitterness.
