Previous studies have suggested that the preference for drinking cold water is increased when the drinker has a dry mouth. In a first experiment, we investigated whether a positive shift in preference would occur for small water volumes (0.75 ml and 1.5 ml) at 8, 16 or 25 °C, delivered into a mouth that had been dried using a warmed airflow, versus a normally hydrated mouth. Subjects rated the perceived...
Parotid salivation is known to be influenced by the temperature of liquids moved around the mouth. Here we investigated the ability of non-liquid thermal stimuli to change the rate of salivation. Unilateral parotid saliva was collected using a Lashley Cup from 12 normally hydrated subjects. Thermal stimuli were delivered through a copper tube, in which temperature-controlled water flowed, resting...
