Taste as Border-Reading Interface in the Metabolic Constrained Generative System

Key Points

• The study aims to explore how taste receptors function as interfaces for reading metabolic borders related to nutrient acquisition and deficiency diseases.
• Analyzed 39 essential nutrients and their relationships with taste receptor families and deficiency diseases.
• Developed a metabolic border structure identifying acquisition and exclusion borders and their roles.
• Validated cooking methods as a selective operator based on bioavailability comparisons.
• Identified taste receptors as endogenous interfaces for metabolic border readings.
• Established a non-redundant metabolic border structure with distinct acquisition and exclusion borders.
• Confirmed that cooking affects nutrient bioavailability, matching predicted outcomes in 100% of comparisons.
