Abstract

In Japan, salt reduction is encouraged to prevent high blood pressure. However, it is difficult to reduce salt, and good salt intake per day did not fail to the target value. In this study, we report a saltiness cognitive threshold test using female university students. The participant is 67 female university students. Participants were subjected to a salty cognitive threshold test using SALSAVE (manufactured by Advantech). The saltiness test started from a light taste and tried a strong taste in order. The salt concentration is 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.6%. We also conducted a questionnaire survey on eating habits. As a result, 62 out of 67 female university students who felt salty at a concentration of 0.6% were92% of all participants. However, two female university students did not feel taste even with a salt concentration of 1.6%.They are3% of all participants. As a result of the questionnaire survey, female university students answered that they had a good taste and secreted saliva well, and they usually had a rather light diet. In the future, we would like to increase the number of participants and compare more detailed dietary habits with SALSAVE results.
