Aim:
I want to find out how we taste food.
Research:
If you look at your tongue in the mirror, you can see it's covered in little bumps. And in those bumps are taste buds. When you put something in your mouth, they send a message to your brain to give you information about whether the food is salty, sweet, sour, bitter or umami (a meaty, savoury taste) Back of the tongue extra sensitive and bitter just in case you taste something poisonous
o, technically speaking, spiciness is not a taste because it is not produced by taste buds and the nerve that carries the "spicy" signals to the brain is the trigeminal nerve
Method:
Equipment -
- Unknown food
- Blindfold
- Person With A Tongue
Instructions :
- Get your equipment
- Put your blindfold on
- Block your nose
- Put the food in your mouth and taste it
- Describe how it taste
- Release your nose and describe it
Result:
