Taste, gustatory perception, or gustation is one of the five traditional senses that belongs to the gustatory system. Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with taste receptor cells located on taste buds on the tongue. Taste, along with smell determines flavors of food or other substances. The tongue is covered with thousands of small bumps called papillae, which are visible to the naked eye. The sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: Sweetness Sourness Saltiness Bitterness Umami Sweetness, usually regarded as a pleasurable sensation, is produced by the presence of sugars and a few other substances Sourness is the taste that detects acidity. Sour taste is detected by a small subset of cells that are distributed across all taste buds in the tongue. The most common food group that contains naturally sour foods is fruit, such as lemon, grape, orange, tamarind, and sometimes melon. Saltiness is a taste produced primarily by the presence of sodium ions.
Bitterness is the most sensitive of the tastes, and
many perceive it as unpleasant or sharp. Common bitter foods and beverages include coffee, unsweetened cocoa, olives, citrus peel and escarole. Umami is an appetitive taste and is described as savory or meaty. It can be tasted in cheese and soy sauce, and is also found in many other fermented and aged foods. This taste is also present in tomatoes, grains, and beans. It is a loanword from Japanese meaning "good flavor" or "good taste. Was studied and identified by Kikunae Ikeda, in 1908.

Pungency (also spiciness or hotness) Coolness (this "fresh" or "minty" sensation can be tasted in peppermint, spearmint, menthol) Numbness (devoid of sensation caused by spices such as Sichuan pepper) Temperature Astringency (Less exact terms for the astringent sensation are "dry", "rough", "harsh, "tart, "rubbery", "hard" or "styptic".) Metallicness Calcium (the distinctive taste of chalk) Fattiness (greasy) Clinical significance Patients with Addison's disease, pituitary insufficiency, or cystic fibrosis sometimes have a hyper-sensitivity to the five primary tastes Disorders of taste: ageusia (complete loss of taste) hypogeusia (reduced sense of taste) dysgeusia (distortion in sense of taste) parageusia (persistent abnormal taste) hypergeusia (abnormally heightened sense of taste)
