Explanation:

• → The sour and bitter tastes of food are due to acids and bases are present in them.

• → Acids are sour in taste and change the colour of blue litmus to red.

• → Litmus solution is a purple dye, which is extracted from lichen. When the litmus solution is neither acidic nor basic, its colour is purple.

• → Other natural materials like red cabbage leaves, turmeric, coloured petals of some flowers such as Hydrangea, Petunia and Geranium, which indicate the presence of acid or base in a solution.
