Astringency sensitivity to tannic acid: Effect of ageing and salivary proline-rich protein levels

The link between salivary composition and sensitivity to astringency as a function of age has still not been established. In this work, we propose the hypothesis that ageing leads to changes in the concentration of salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs), which alters the astringency perception thresh...
