Problems with Taste
About Problems with Taste
We
can experience five basic taste sensations: sweet, sour, bitter,
salty, and umami, or savory. Umami was discovered by a Japanese
scientist in the early part of the twentieth century. It is the
taste of glutamate, a building block of protein found in chicken
broth, meat stock, and some cheeses. Umami is the taste associated
with MSG (monosodium glutamate) that is often added to foods as a
flavor enhancer.
