Taste responses to fructose and tannic acid were compared between great apes using the 'two-bottle test' with tests of brief duration. The taste thresholds for fructose were [10-20] mM in Pongo pygmaeus, [40-50] mM in Pan troglodytes, and [70 80] mM in Gorilla gorilla. Inhibition thresholds for tannic acid were [2.9-3.5] mM in Pongo and [2.9-5.9] mM in Pan. Gorillas apparently significantly preferred tannins at low concentrations ([0.59-5.9] mM) but rejected concentrations above [8.8-14.7] mM. These results are discussed in relation to the effects of phylogenetic inertia and biological adaptation. (C) 2003 Academie des sciences.
