這是因為味蕾(taste bud)會隨著溫度升高而增加對甜味的敏感度。
至於為甚麼味蕾有這特性,由於科學界對人體的感覺的研究還是在起步階段,科學上暫時還未有一個公認的最終解釋。
以下是引述自一個比較近期的實驗結果:
...Human taste buds - microscopic channels in our tongue called TRPM5 - are highly sensitive to changes in temperature. At 15°C these channels are hardly open whereas at 37°C, their sensitivity is 100 times greater.
So the warmer the food or drink in your mouth, the stronger the electrical signal that TRPM5 will send to your brain....
