Sodium Benzoate Test Paper

Product Description

Sodium Benzoate Test Paper

Sodium benzoate test paper detects the genetic ability to taste Sodium Benzoate. The taste detected varies from sweet, salty, to bitter, depending upon the individual. Homozygous-dominant and Heterozygous-dominant individuals will detect the molecule.

Instructions:

1. Remove a strip of test paper from the vial.
2. Stick out your tongue, and place the strip on your tongue.
3. You may not taste anything, but if you do, there are three basic results: sweet, salty, and bitter.

Note: The SDS for each taste test paper lists the ingredients. The concentration of ingredients is usually so small, it is less than what would be considered hazardous. Aside from these small quantities, the cellulose paper is the only other ingredient. In addition, the proper use of each taste test is to touch the strip to the tongue. These taste strips have been used safely in classrooms for decades.

The manufacturing facility where the PTC paper is produced (Cottonwood, AZ) is a typical manufacturing site. We don’t manufacture nuts, gluten or other products usually associated with allergy concerns. Please note, however, that the facility is not certified or considered an allergy-friendly manufacturing facility. In addition, the raw materials used in producing the taste test papers are not procured in any special fashion. We have no assurance that they were produced in an allergy-free environment.

Despite the above information, if you have a concern about a possible allergic reaction, perhaps it would be best to abstain from the activity.
