Why do oranges taste sour?

Taste buds contain the receptors for taste. They are located around the small structures on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper esophagus, the cheek, epiglottis, which are called papillae.These structures are involved in detecting the five (known) elements of taste perception: salty, sour, bitter, sweet, and umami. Researchers say people may have a “sixth” taste for fatty foods.Dill pickles have a sour taste due to the slight acid called vinegar. Vinegar is a liquid consisting of about 5-20% acetic acid. Citrus fruits like lemons have citric acid in them. The pH of citric acid is 2.2. The pH of vinegar is between 3-4.To add to the confusion, research says that the taste we call sour is not due to the hydrogen ions but the anion it is with. Vinegars' anion is CH3COO- and citric acids' anion is C6H7O7-
