Examples

“Instead of attributing the sweet taste of a given compound to one factor, the glucogene (Cohn) or glucophor, as we prefer to call it, we maintain that it is due to two distinct factors, a glucophore and an auxogluc. Any glucophore will form a sweet compound with any auxogluc.”

“Early structure-taste theories attempted to identify certain common structural features of tastants and to attribute a specific taste to these […] Altogether six glucophores and nine auxoglucs were defined.”
