Definición

  • Taste disorders are broadly classified as losses (i.e., ageusia and hypogeusia) or as distortions of gustatory function (i.e., dysgeusia). Ageusia is the complete absence of the ability to detect or recognize any taste quality, including sweet, sour, salty, bitter, as well as less familiar taste sensations, including umami (meatlike taste of glutamate salts), fatty, metallic, starchy/polysaccharide, chalky, and astringent.
