Taste Test Strips

You can do taste experiments in class or as a science fair project on heredity to determine who among your friends and classmates have inherited the gene. For LOTS of info. on inheritance, see: Hardy-Weinberg Principle).

Sodium benzoate is less well researched. It is a common preservative in bread, so some people might find some breads taste unpalatable.

How to use:
  • Take strip out of bottle
  • Stick out tongue
  • Place strip on tongue
  • 3 possible results: no response; slight bitter taste; revolting
  • Test is not necessarily definitive for supertasting.
