Cell based receptor assays combined with human sensory tools and instrumental analytical techniques enabled the characterization of the non-volatile sensometabolome of licorice (
Glycyrrhiza glabra L.). The application of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and NMR experiments led to the identification of 28 triterpenoid saponins. Moreover, these saponins were characterized by human sensory tests as well as cell-based functional taste receptor expression assays. With a LC-MS/MS-based quantification method the taste contribution of each isolated licorice saponin was measured.
