Forget sweet or sour, researchers say people may have a “sixth” taste for fatty foods.
Researchers out of Purdue University said that the taste of fat dubbed “oleogustus” can be added to the list of distinctive tastes that include sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami.
To decipher if “oleogustus” could be identified by eaters the researchers conducted a small study to see if people could identify the “unique taste of fat.”
