Sensory receptors that can detect flavors are mostly found

in our taste buds on the tongue. Taste buds are clusters of cells located on tiny bumps on the tongue called papillae. These receptors can detect five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami (savory). Additionally, our sense of smell plays a significant role in detecting flavors as well. Odor molecules from the food we eat travel through our nasal passages to the olfactory receptors in our nose, which sends signals to the brain to help us perceive flavor.
