Gustatory receptors are specialized cells on the tongue and in the mouth that are responsible for detecting taste molecules in food. These receptors can detect five main taste qualities: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Gustatory receptors send signals to the brain, which processes the information and helps us perceive different flavors.
