First I looked up the word Gustation from http://www.audioenglish.net/dictionary/gustation.htm.( to get a better understanding on it). Gustation is taste, so like sour, sweet, bitter and salty ( I also think that spicy woud be another one, maybe).Gustation in humans allows to taste foods that have different flavors( also other things that people like to put in their mouth).This involves nerves(in the form of clusters ( taste cells) that are found in taste buds) present in pores on the surface on your tongue.
Okay, so I looked up the word, and the way it was being defined was "the act of tasting." Humans being able to taste means that they're able to decipher between different tastes. Just like what Leah said, a human can taste whether something is sweet, bitter,or etc.
Gustation is basically the sense of taste. The five main qualities of gustation are sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and Unami. First, taste buds are put to work which are the cause of receptor cells that pick up bits of what you’re consuming. The receptors gather and depending on the person’s sensitivity determines the affect that the taste has on them. A certain nerve then carries the information of the substance to the brain, which particularly is sent to near the cortex.
Gustation, better known as taste, allows us humans to expierence differernt flavors of foods. The process begins when some type of food, liquid, etc. is put on the tongue. First the taste receptors come into play. Then, reaches the tongue, which sends a message/ signal to the brain. The brain classifies it as taste that can either be sweet, sour, bitter, or salty. Taste buds that interpret bitterness are called supertasters. An example of bitterness is grape fruit juice. Many, if not all babies HATE drinking it.- Brian Rodriguez
