Can loss of smell inhibit taste?


Yes. The actual taste buds can detect only four sensations - sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. All the other nuances of flavor are a result of aroma.

To human who have weak taste ability through tongue it may seem like you can no longer taste. But infact it won’t, the tongue can taste on its own. That’s why we have the taste buds and various regions.
