'''Flavor''' is a property of materials (particularly edible materials), which is associated with the [[senses|sense]] of [[taste]]. [[School]] children learn that the [[tongue]] can detect four distinct flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter) and each flavor has dedicated taste buds in different regions of the tongue (the tip, the sides, the center and the back, respectively). This 4-distinct-flavor view of tastes was held as late as the 70’s <ref name="Pyke">Pyke, Magnus. Synthetic Food. Spottiswoode, Ballanyne & Co: 1970.</ref>, but recent research suggests that not only is their a fifth flavor sensation (''umami''), but that the tongue has more overlap in flavor detection than previously thought. Tactile sensations such as heat and cool as well as [[smell|aroma]] (from [[volatile]] flavor compounds) are now also considered part of the flavor properties of a [[food]]. Despite the seemingly limited combination of flavor properties, extremely large numbers of flavors are able to be sensed by the tongue.
