In order to investigate the relationship between bitterness and chemical structure of BPIa, eleven kinds of fragments and analogs of BPIa were synthesized. des-Gly2-BPIa and des-Pro4-BPIa exhibited extremely bitter taste. However, the pentapeptide (Arg-Gly-Pro-Pro-Phe) of BPIa possessed weak bitterness. The bitterness exhibition of BPIa probably derived from the spatial structure of its molecule.
