Coriander is added to many foods to enhance the aroma, but for many people, they “twist their heads” when they hear it. A study result pointed out that the reason why some people hate it is not only because of its special smell and taste, but also because of human genes.
The British “Mirror” quoted a report issued by Cornell UniversityResearch result. A study published by statistical geneticist Nicholas Eriksson in 2012 pointed out that there is a genetic component involved in the taste of coriander, showing whether you like coriander or not, which is related to whether there is a mutation in the olfactory receptor gene. Those who don’t like it are those with genetic mutations.
The researcher pointed out that the dislike of coriander may be related to the mutation of the olfactory receptor gene. They believe that some olfactory receptor genes may be OR6A2, or cause the olfactory receptors to feel that coriander tastes like soap.
American gene technology company 23andme released in 2012BlogAnd shared that the “scent quality” of cilantro mainly depends on aldehyde compounds, one is fruity and vegetable, and the other is soapy and spicy.
23andme once conducted a questionnaire survey of about 50,000 customers, asking them whether they like coriander, and then comparing their information with the answers to the questionnaire.
Although studies have shown that genetic mutations in olfactory receptors are related to “people’s sense of taste for coriander,” the company claims that general genetic mutations can only explain this difference (whether you like coriander or not), at least in 23andme’s customers It’s like that.
