Rats discriminate between starch and other substances having a similar texture.

Abstract:

:Studies examined the contribution of textural factors to the ability of rats to sense starch. If rats sense the abrasive effects of starch suspensions, conditioned aversions to starch should generalize to substances having a similar texture. Two substances having a texture similar to that of starch were examined, polymeric dialdehyde (a product derived from starch) and inulin (a polymer of fructose). Rats were trained to avoid dilute suspensions of rice starch, potato starch, polymeric dialdehyde, or dahlia inulin, by injecting them with lithium chloride after they drank the test substance. Generalization tests revealed that rats trained to avoid rice or potato starch subsequently avoided corn starch, whereas rats trained to avoid polymeric dialdehyde or dahlia inulin did not avoid corn starch. Rats trained to avoid polymeric dialdehyde avoided this substance to a greater degree than did rats trained to avoid rice or potato starch. Rats trained to avoid dahlia inulin avoided this substance to a greater degree than did the rats in the other groups, but avoidance of dahlia inulin did not generalize to chicory inulin. Untrained rats showed little or no preference for dilute suspensions of polymeric dialdehyde or inulin, but did prefer starch over vehicle. It is concluded that tactile sensitivity does not play a large role in the perception of dilute starch suspensions.
