Astringent compounds are one of the predominant factors to the quality of foods and beverages. Research on astringency perception has attracted great interest over past decades due to its positive effects on the human body including antibacterial, anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. Astringency is described as a ‘drying, roughing, puckering and astringent sensation’ in the mouth following consumption of astringent compounds such as polyphenols. It is debated whether astringency is a taste sensation or tactile sensation, or a trigeminal sensation analogous to spicy taste. Studies on the mechanisms of astringency are based on protein precipitation theory. This paper gives a brief introduction of the astringent compounds and mechanisms of astringency perception.
