Which of the following are not the tastes of the tongue?
1. Sweet
2. Bitter
3. Salty
4. Spicy
5. Umami
6. Sour
7. Pungent
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
Answer: C
The ones that are not tastes are 4 and 7: spicy and pungent.
The tongue's taste receptors detect five basic tastes: sweet, bitter, salty, sour and umami (the savoury taste of glutamate). Spiciness, the burn of chilli, and pungency, the sharpness of mustard or garlic, are not tastes; they are sensations of heat and irritation carried by pain and touch nerves.
Every other option includes at least one of the five true tastes, such as bitter, umami, sweet or salty.
