Abstract
0s rated their liking or disliking of aqueous concentrations of glucose, Na and Ca cyclamate, Na and Ca saccharin, and pairwise mixtures of artificial sweeteners at varying concentrations. Hedonic tones did not add arithmetically - the unpleasantness of a mixture was often substantially more than the unpleasantness of the components. Adequate predictions of hedonic tones of mixtures must be made by referring back to the taste qualities of the mixture. This necessity for intermediate steps (i.e., consideration of the sensory aspect) constrains considerably the development of models which predict mixture hedonics from the hedonics of the mixture components evaluated separately.
