sweet taste  

Definición

  • Sweet taste is a sensation produced on the tongue by molecules that bind to sweet taste receptors, whose structure and genetic origin have recently been uncovered. The sensation of sweetness begins with the transduction by receptors throughout the tongue, or in whatever receptor organ these receptors are present for lower organisms, of the taste signal from a solution containing sweet-tasting molecules.
