The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of chemosensory irritation in the oropharyngeal region during the ingestion of irritants. In two experiments subjects sipped and swallowed small samples of an ascending concentration series of capsaicin or piperine and rated the intensity of sensations of irritation perceived at four locations: the anterior tongue, the posterior tongue, the roof of the mouth and the throat. Both experiments revealed that the responsiveness to irritation from capsaicin was significantly higher in the throat than at either the front or back of the tongue. There was no difference between irritation ratings for the throat and the roof of the mouth. Compared with capsaicin, the responsiveness to piperine wa...
