Salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami.

  • Saltines is the taste produced by the presence of sodium ions.
  • Sweetness in the taste associated with foods rich in carbohydrates, but some sweetener substitutes can also produce the taste sensation of sweet.
  • Bitterness, the most pronounced of human taste sensations is tied to the presence of G protein gustducin and the taste receptor TAS2R38, and may be an evolutionary development to protect against consuming toxic substances.
  • The taste sensation of sourness is produced by the presence of acidity.
  • Umami is the taste sensation associated with savoriness. The word umami has been borrowed from Japanese; coined by Tokyo Imperial University professor Dr. Kikunae Ikeda, umami is the co-joining of the hiragana characters umai うまい (delicious) and mi 味 (taste).
