## Overview

EISCO PTC Taster Paper Strips provide a scientifically accurate, easy-to-use method for genetic taste testing. Each strip contains 30µg of phenylthiocarbamide, enabling users to determine their PTC taster status—a trait linked to heredity and taste sensitivity. Supplied in 5 vials of 100 strips, this product is ideal for educational demonstrations, lab experiments, and genetic research, offering a compact, reliable tool to explore the fascinating intersection of genetics and sensory perception.

## Description

Product description What is meant by PTC taster? Phenylthiocarbamide tasting, also called PTC tasting, a genetically controlled ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and a number of related substances, all of which have some antithyroid activity. How do you know if you are a PTC taster? If you were all to take a PTC test (which you can do by placing a strip of special PTC-laced paper on your tongues), you would all be "non-tasters". If, on the other hand, at least one of your parents is a taster, you might have a range of sensitivity.Studies indicate that individuals with the "strong tasters" PTC gene variant were less likely to be smokers. This may indicate that people who find PTC bitter are more likely than non-tasters to find the taste of cigarettes bitter and may be less likely to smoke.Other studies suggest that there may be correlations between the ability to taste PTC and preferences for certain types of foods. This may be why some of us think that broccoli is just too bitter to eat.The ratio of tasters to non-tasters varies between populations, but every group has some tasters and some non-tasters. On average, 75% of people can taste PTC, while 25% cannot. Directions Place one strip on your tongue and wait for a few seconds. If you taste bitterness, you are a PTC taster. If not, you are a non-taster. No further preparation or post-testing procedures are necessary.
