Hey readers,
Aim: To see which is the best way to cool down the hot chillie taste in your mouth when eating chili.
I think that by using coke I will be able to remove the hot chili taste from my mouth.
Equipment:
1. Milk
2. Water
3. Coke
4. Tasting cup
5. Chili
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 in your group so that everyone has the same results.
2. Each member of the group needs to have their own tasting cup.
This will be used for putting the different liquids in as we cool off the chili in our mouths.
3. Place a piece of chili in your mouth.
4. After 10 seconds you will drink the liquid that you have in your cup. As you do this you will complete a result chart.
You will be recording the following using yes or no:
The effectiveness of the liquid immediately
The effectiveness of the liquid after 10 seconds
Chilli Tasting Results
Record : Yes or No
Summary:
The milk did work immediately: After 3 minutes it had a small effects.
Coca cola had some effect. After 3 minutes it was gone.
Water did not work immediately. After 3 minutes nope.
Conclusion:
Milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods - literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin,
an oily chemical compound in chili peppers. Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation
Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.
