La perception gustative des populations autochtone de Yakoutie Arctique (District de Basse-Kolyma) en fonction du régime alimentaire, comparée à celle de populations d'Europe, d'Afrique et du Goroenland

International audience Thresholds of taste recognition have been determined among a Yakutian population sample (n =109), including Yakuts (n =47), some people belonging to aborigenal ethnic minorities of the North (n = 38, including 20 Evens, 14 Yukagirs, 3 Chukchi and 1 Nenets), and 24 persons of o...

Description
Summary:International audience Thresholds of taste recognition have been determined among a Yakutian population sample (n =109), including Yakuts (n =47), some people belonging to aborigenal ethnic minorities of the North (n = 38, including 20 Evens, 14 Yukagirs, 3 Chukchi and 1 Nenets), and 24 persons of other origin (Russians, Ukrainians, etc.), using a blind protocol with solutions of pure (or purified) substances, including oak tanin and tannic acid. Significant differences for sugars perception have been found when comparing the results with those obtained (with a similar protocol) in various European countries and in Africa. These differences are discussed in relation to the environmental conditions and dietary adaptations. In this context, the reactions to sodium chloride, although partly analogous in the Yakutian population sample and among the Inuit of Greenland, do not present the same degree of acuity. This difference could result of an environmental continental adaptive trend, whereas the Inuit have adapted to the arctic coast environmental conditions. Des tests en simple aveugle ont permis de mettre en évidence les seuils de reconnaissance gustative d'une série de produits purifiés, incluant le tannin de chêne et l'acide tannique, sur un échantillon de population (n = 109) de Yakoutie arctique, comprenant des Yakoutes (n =47), des personnes appartenant aux minorités autochtones du Grand Nord (n = 38, soit : 20 Evènes, 14 Youkaguirs, 3 Tchouktches et 1 Nénétse), ainsi que 24 personnes d'autres origines (Russes, Ukrainiens, etc.). Le même type de test ayant été effectué dans plusieurs pays d'Europe ainsi qu'en Afrique, nous avons mis en évidence des différences régionales significatives, portant en particulier sur la perception des sucres, discutées en fonction du milieu et des adaptations au régime alimentaire. Dans ce contexte, la perception du chlorure de sodium par les populations de Yakoutie n'est que partiellement comparable à celle des Inuit du Groenland, car la très grande acuité de perception de ...
