A putative biological adsorption process of binary mixture taste of sucrose and caffeine on human neuroreceptor site by the use of statistical physics modeling

Abstract

This work represents a contribution in the comprehension of a racimic mixture of caffeine-sucrose molecules and their taste-taste interaction, by the use of a binary model expression of non-exclusive competitive extended Hill model. This extended model is deduced by statistical physics treatment. The simulation results suggested that the sucrose molecule formed an aggregate of two molecules and anchored with a non-parallel position onto the human neuroreceptor taste sites. Contrary to the sucrose molecule, the molecule of caffeine is anchored in a parallel position with the human neuroreceptor taste sites. The pore size distribution (PSD) and the adsorption energy distribution (AED) of human neuroreceptor sites are derived through the selected model to describe porosity and energitical homogeneity of taste adsorbent surface. So, the mutual interaction between molecules of racemic mixture dose-response curves of caffeine and sucrose on human neuroreceptor sites. Firstly, this model is used to analyze the taste-taste interaction mechanism of the mixture of bitter caffeine-sweet sucrose taste. Secondly, all these stereo and energetical parameters will be used for an objective description of the taste of the mixture of caffeine-sucrose molecules in the intense and qualitative aspects of the taste of the mixture.
