Explore: Taste Threshold

gustatory system or sense of taste is the sensory system that is partially responsible for the perception of taste. Taste is the perception stimulated

Taste detection threshold is the minimum concentration of a flavoured substance detectable by the sense of taste. Sweetness detection thresholds are usually

suggested that each part of the tongue tastes exactly one basic taste. The paper showed minute differences in threshold detection levels across the tongue

In neuroscience and psychophysics, an absolute threshold was originally defined as the lowest level of a stimulus – light, sound, touch, etc. – that an

concentration at which an aroma or taste can be detected (air, water and fat). The recognition threshold or arousal threshold of olfactory neurons is the concentration

sense of taste. Dysgeusia is also often associated with ageusia, which is the complete lack of taste, and hypogeusia, which is a decrease in taste sensitivity

found in breast milk. Sweetness appears to have the highest taste recognition threshold, being detectable at around 1 part in 200 of sucrose in solution

more of an ability to taste PTC. On the other hand, heavy cigarette smokers are more likely to have high PTC and PROP thresholds (i.e. are relatively insensitive)

taste threshold by passing controlled anodal current through the tongue. When current passes through the tongue a unique and distinct metallic taste is

senses were traditionally identified as such (namely sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing), many more are now recognized. Senses used by non-human organisms
