While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
-
  • The human tongue contains taste receptors for a rich, savory flavor called umami.
  • Umami is triggered by the compounds in a variety of foods, including tuna and blue cheese.
  • Participants in a study tasted a sample of sea palm, a type of brown seaweed.
  • They rated its umami intensity as moderate.
  • The participants tasted a sample of bull kelp, another type of brown seaweed.
  • They rated its umami intensity as high.
