Hot Chilli

 Aim:

I want to find out the best way to cool down your toung to cool down your toung after eating hot chilli.

Research:


                                                       (SO FUNNY ps:its not -_-)





Method:

Equipment

  • Hot chilli sauce (Carolina Reaper sauce)
  • Popsicle Stick
  • Drinks - Soda, Water, Milk
  • Timer
Instructions
  1. Get your Equipment ready
  2. Scoop up a drop of sauce on your posicle stick
  3. Lick the hot chilli sauce and swerle it around your mouth
  4. Start the timer
  5. After 2mins, drink your drink
  6. After another 2mis rate how hot it was after ur drink 
  7. Repeat experiment with diffrent drinks.
Results:
(Btw I didn't do the experiment cause i'm allergic to chilli so I am basically mixing in other peoples opinions)

Rating of hot chilli with each drink
The first chilli I did was without water and I am scoring it a 10 for burning. (Dying from the chilli)
    
Second Chilli with water(After Drink)
Chilli was still lingering on tounge and basically made it worse. (Water tasted disgusting)`I still rate it 10 for burning.                                                                                                                                                            

Thrid chilli with coke.                                                                                             
The burn got better after drinking the coke 5/10 because the bubbles and coldness cooled down the tounge.

Milk /10
Fourth chilli was 4/10 Milk fat cooling down the hottness and helping feel better. Dairy keeps you feeling better.

Disscussion:

Why does chilli burn your mouth?
In spicy food there are certain compunds that activate the type of sensory neurons called Polymodal Nociceptors. You have these all over your body including your nose and mouth. They are the same receptors that are activated by extreme heat. So when you eat something like a chilli peper your mouth feels like its burning because it sends messages to ur brain which thinks your mouth is burning. 

Why did the milk reduce the burn?
That's because milk contains casin which helps break down and disolve capsaicin in chilli. Casin is like a

Safety in the Lab

           Hola viewers,
  1. Liquids do not go in the bin because it could leak out of the bin or be to heavy for the cleaner to take and make a hole.
  2.  Solids do not go down the sink because it could block the sink or pollute the water.
  3. Wear safety glasses when you do experiments because dangerous stuff like chemicals or fire could get in your eyes.
  4. Put your chair under the desk, and stand at the bench when you do experiments because its better to do that.
  5. Bags do not go on desks because chemicals or stuff like that could get inside your bag.
  6. Long hair should be tied back because it could be caught on fire and you could become bald.
  7. Do not smell the chemicals because all the chemicals would get in your lungs and you could pass out.
  8. Walk, do not run around the room because you could trip over and hit some chemicals or break your arms 
  9. Do not eat or drink in the lab because you could swallow germs and poison yourself.
