Term (tasting, gustatory = sense of taste) for the chemical perception via receptors on the tongue and palate of the various sensations when eating and drinking. It depends on the amount of a flavour substance from when it is perceived. This is called the perception threshold. See remaining senses under olfactory ( smelling) for the sense of smell, and trigeminal (tactile = touching) for pain and temperature.
