Sodium Benzoate Taste Test Strips

Indigo® sodium benzoate taste test strips let you explore "Schrödinger’s Flavor", a genetics test that tastes sweet, salty, bitter, or sour depending on your DNA.

Sodium benzoate taste test strips are the ultimate demonstration of subjective genetic reality, hence the nickname "Schrödinger’s Flavor." Unlike binary taste tests, a sodium benzoate strip exists as a superposition of multiple taste profiles. Sweet, salty, bitter, sour, or entirely tastelessness of Na-benzoate isn't sensed until the exact moment it interacts with a taster's unique tongue chemistry. Sodium benzoate bypasses simple single-gene categorization.  It triggers multigenic taste phenotypes and metabolic variations which reveal individual genetic blueprints that construct unique sensory responses from the exact same physical stimulus.

Sodium benzoate is a chemical compound synthesized from benzoic acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It is used as a preservative in salad dressings, pickles, sauces, condiments, fruit juices, wine & snack foods.
