Previously, it was deemed that the four fundamental tastes were:
- sour
- sweet
- salty
- bitter
However, we now know that there is a fifth taste that the receptors on the tongue can identify, which is called "umami". It is responsible for allowing us to taste savory foods, such as meats, fish, etc. (foods high in amino acid or protein content), as well as the substance monosodium glutamate.
