TASTE APPEARS LIMITED. Unlike other taste receptors, which are coded by two families of receptors each, the bitter receptor is coded by about 30 molecules. Its function is to protect against poisons and toxins. Regardless, the number of known taste receptors is very small (~40) and the taste repertoire equally small, at ~10 sensations upper limit. This is in sharp contrast to the olfactory system.
