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

As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
