Popis:	Flow presentation procedures have been used by several researchers for controlled taste stimulation to stabilize the environment of the taste receptors and to control adaptation effects. O’Mahony [1] has shown flow presentation to elicit remarkable taste sensitivity in subjects; they were able to disciminate between once and twice distilled water. O’Mahony et al. [2] later demonstrated that subjects showed more sensitivity for taste discrimination with the flow presentation than with a sip-and-spit presentation. This study was carried out to determine the reason for this phenomenon; we also used the flow presentation technique for discrimination testing with foodstuffs.
