What is the role of saliva in tasting?
Saliva is a liquid which comes into your mouth from the salivary glands in each cheek. Its main purpose is not to taste something, but it does alter the taste of foods, particularly starches which are turned into sugars. When we chew our food the saliva is mixed in with it, and this makes the food mixture soft enough to be swallowed. Saliva acts as a lubricant.
