Note[edit]

Citation 31 should be the following:

"Huang AL, Chen X, Hoon MA, Chandrashekar J, Guo W, Trankner D, Ryba NJ, Zuker CS (2006). The cells and logic for mammalian sour taste detection. Nature 442: 934-938."

It's better to have the original paper as opposed to a ScienceDaily article.

Tomatoes[edit]

Don't you guys think tomatoes are metallic? Whenever I taste them they taste like blood. -- User:Sneaky Oviraptor18 I also think that tomatoes juice looks like pure blood. -- User:supermax2424

For me, tomato tastes like sour water. JiminLost HisJams (talk) 20:12, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Savoriness[edit]

It says that cheese can be described as Umami, but link 45 (it's source) is dead.

Natural sourness[edit]

We say:

The most common foods with natural sourness are fruits, such as lemon, lime, grape, orange, tamarind, and bitter melon.

I'd say

bunch together lemon, lime, grape and orange as just (most) citrus fruits.
I think nearly all friuts are sour - but many are at the same time so sweet we don't think of them as sour.
grape and bitter melon are probably perceived as bitter, more than sour, though they are both, as well as sweet.
the taste of tamarind is described as tangy (in the article Tamarind), and tangy redirects to Taste - but this article doesn't mention that word at all ?!?--Nø (talk) 16:58, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated[edit]

The sixth sensory "taste" has apparently been determined, there should at least be a note about this. Google for "oleogustus". A terrible name, yes. https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2015/Q3/research-confirms-fat-is-sixth-taste-names-it-oleogustus.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14BA:16F2:E800:F860:B28C:F62C:D583 (talk) 11:32, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's there; look up Oleogustus, which redirects to the section Taste#tFat taste, where the term is mentioned and the concept discussed.Nø (talk) 13:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
