Chilli Tasting Experiment

 Aim: To see which si the best way to cool down the hot chillie taste in your mouth when eating chilli. 

Hypothesis: I think by using ......... 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 of the drinks with 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 up. 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. 



The milk will not work immediatly . After 3 minutes it had a small effect 

And 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.
