Earlier psychophysical research on single human fungiform taste papillae employed a procedure which limited subjects to selecting only one taste to describe the sensations they experienced. That procedure precludes the possibility of determining whether single papillae can mediate complex tastes, i.e., tastes consisting of more than one sensation experienced simultaneously. By using highly trained subjects and allowing them freedom to describe all sensations simultaneously elicited by a given taste stimulus, single papilla taste profiles were obtained. It is suggested that obtaining taste profiles may increase the utility of single papillae as models for study of the taste system.
早期针对人类单个菌状味蕾的心理物理学研究采用了一种方法，该方法限制受试者只能选择一种味道来描述他们所体验到的感觉。这种方法排除了确定单个味蕾是否能够介导复合味觉的可能性，即由同时体验到的不止一种感觉所组成的味觉。通过使用训练有素的受试者，并允许他们自由描述给定味觉刺激同时引发的所有感觉，获得了单个味蕾的味觉图谱。有人提出，获取味觉图谱可能会增加单个味蕾作为味觉系统研究模型的效用。
