Chilli Tasting Experiment
Aim p To see which is the best way to cool down the hot chilli taste in your mouth when eating chilli.
Hypothesis - I think that by using milk I will be able to remove the hot chilli taste from my mouth.
Equipment
1. Milk
2. Water
3. Coca Cola
4. Tasting cup
5. Chilli
Method 1. You will work in groups. of three for this experiment. Each person in the group will use one of the drinks with the chilli. You will then swap results with your group so that everyone has the same results
2. Each Member of the team needs to have their own tasting cup. This will be used for putting the different liquids in as we cool off the chilli in our mouths
3. Place a piece of chilli in your mouth.
4.You will drink the liquid that you have in your cup. As you do this you will complete a results chart
Chilli Tasting Results
Record : Yes or No
Summary And Results
The milk did not work immediately After 3 minutes it had a small effect
The coke had a small effect immediately coke had no effect after 3 minutes
The water did not work immediately The water did not stop the chilli after 3 minutes
Conclusion
Milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods ------ Literally That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsicum an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers Capsicum binds to a receipter in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. Casein protein found from in the milk can also bind to the capsicum and wash it away.
