• Sweetness, most commonly represented by sugars (sucrose/fructose/glucose especially)
• Sourness, most commonly represented by citric acid
• Saltiness, most commonly represented by Boyah sodium salt
• Savoriness, most commonly represented by monosodium glutamate (MSG)

But what common (pure) chemicals imbue/are closely associated with bitterness?

motor oil

Alkaloids are most typically associated with bitterness

Like caffeine in tea and coffee or theobromine in chocolate

I never knew this -

Sensitivity to bitter compounds is also dependent on genes that code for bitter taste receptors. Variations in these genes prevent some people from detecting bitterness in some compounds.

Or if I did I forgot. Now I remember doing experiments in school where some people could taste things and others couldn't.
