Talk:Taste

Note
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
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)

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

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

I'd say
 * 1) bunch together lemon, lime, grape and orange as just (most) citrus fruits.
 * 2) I think nearly all friuts are sour - but many are at the same time so sweet we don't think of them as sour.
 * 3) grape and bitter melon are probably perceived as bitter, more than sour, though they are both, as well as sweet.
 * 4) 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)

Outdated
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)


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