Begin by understanding the basic taste sensations and the types of chemicals typically associated with each. The primary taste sensations are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.
Sweet taste is generally associated with sugars and some amino acids, not bases. Bases are typically associated with a bitter taste.
Sour taste is correctly matched with acids. Acids, such as citric acid in lemons, are known to produce a sour taste.
Salty taste is correctly matched with salts. Common table salt (sodium chloride) is a classic example of a substance that produces a salty taste.
Bitter taste is correctly matched with alkaloids. Alkaloids, such as caffeine and quinine, are known for their bitter taste.
