Over time, scientists…

are able to either not taste PTC, slightly taste PTC or strongly taste PTC. This shows that sensitivity to PTC among tasters varies significantly.

Taste works to increase our hunger for foods that provide energy, while removing hunger for foods that can harm. The tongue can detect six tastes: sweet salty, sour, bitter, piquancy, and umami. These tastes are picked up by taste buds that are able to sense chemicals. In the presence of the chemicals, the taste buds send a neural impulse to the brain. Taste buds are constantly replaced; however, this slows down with age, making a person’s tastes evolve. The tongue also feels…

There are five primary taste sensations: sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami. Only one of the five tastes is detected by a single taste receptor cell. The sensory impulses from these cells travel on fibers of the glossopharyngeal, facial, and vagus nerves…
