    How does taste work?

    We have taste receptors located within the taste buds in our mouths. Taste buds are found not only on our tongue but also on the side of the mouth, the soft palate, the cheeks, the back of the throat and even on our oesophagus. This is one of the reasons why wine tasters will swirl the wine around their mouths; to be sure the wine comes into contact with all the receptors for the maximum perception of the taste.

    What are the basic tastes?

    The only five tastes we can perceive in our mouths are sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami. Umami (pronounced oo marmi) is a brothy or savoury taste, found when we eat bacon or miso soup.

    How do we taste?

    Contrary to popular belief, we are not limited to tasting sweet only on the front of our tongue, or bitter on the back, or sweet and salt on the sides of our tongue.

It is up to each of us to discover where we perceive different tastes w...

This is why odour is so important to the sensation of flavour. Research has found that our sense of smell accounts for 75-95% of a flavour’s impact. Have you tasted both grated onion...

    The last part of the flavour equation, chemical mouth feelings, are ‘irritations’ perceived by our trigeminal nerve. The trigeminal nerve fibres are located all over the mouth but are embedded under the surfaces of the papillae. Examples of trigeminal perceptions are the ‘burn’ sensations from chilli peppers or carbonated water, or the cooling sens...

    Humans have a natural affinity for sweet foods. Other animals, such as cats, prefer salty items. Recent research has looked at how colour also plays a role in how well babies will eat. For example, if you feed your baby neutral-coloured foods, such as rusks and cereal, this will lead them to prefer beige and white foods. On the other hand, if you f...
