Unripe apples contain higher levels of malic acid, which gives them a sour taste. As the apple ripens, the levels of malic acid decrease while the levels of sugars increase, leading to a sweeter taste.

What are sour receptors?

Sour receptors are specialized proteins found in taste buds that detect acidic compounds, which typically have a sour taste. The primary sour taste receptor in humans is the ion channel called PKD2L1, which responds to protons (H+ ions) released by acids. When acids interact with these receptors, they trigger a signal that is transmitted to the brain, allowing us to perceive sour flavors. Sour taste plays a role in food selection and may help in identifying spoiled or unripe foods.
