How does saliva relate to gustation?

Saliva plays a crucial role in gustation by aiding in the breakdown of food particles, which allows taste molecules to interact with taste receptors on the taste buds. Saliva also helps to dissolve food molecules, making it easier for them to reach the taste receptors and contribute to the perception of taste.

Where is taste mostly pronounced in the tongue?

A 1901 study showed that the back of the tongue tasted the bitter, the sides the sour, the front the sweet, and so on. Spicy was not one of the 4 flavors described in that study . . . The newer studies of the tongue with regard to taste have shown that the entire front, top, sides, and back are pretty much equal in what they taste; however, it has been shown that certain parts of the tongue are first to be able to taste certain flavors. But once there is enough concentration of a substance to be able to taste it at all, all parts of the tongue taste the substance pretty equally. The basic 4 "tastes": sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, are present all over the tongue.
