Chili Tasting

Aim :
I want to find out how to reduce spice from food

Research :

Experiment Video


Scientific Video


Funny Video


Method :

Equipment 
  1. Hot sauce
  2. Chili
  3. Tooth pick
  4. Stop watch
  5. Water
  6. Coke
  7. Milk

Instructions :

  • Get your equipment
  • Dip the toothpick in the hot sauce
  • Suck the hot sauce off the toothpick
  • Start timing
  • Stop the timer when it stop burning
Results :
The time it took stop the burning 
Just Chili : 50 secs Water : 12 secs Coke : 11 secs Milk : 7 secs

Conclusion :
I found out that milk is the best to stop the burning

Discussion :
Why does chili burn your mouth and why does milk stop it? 
Chili burns your mouth because the capsaicin is released into your saliva and then binds on to receptors in your mouth and tongue and  the milk stops it because many milk products contain casein, and casein stops the spice.
