Taste test using an edible taste film kit: a randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We developed an edible taste film test that can be stored easily as a kit. This study was conducted to confirm the agreement between the results of the edible taste film kit test and the conventional taste solution test.

Design

Prospective, randomised, controlled trial.

Setting

Single tertiary hospital.

Participants

Sixty-two healthy volunteers with no self-described taste problems.

Interventions

A randomisation scheme was used to determine the order of use of the edible taste film kit and the taste solution test for each subject. The taste solution test was performed using a cotton swab. In the taste film kit test, an edible taste film was placed on the tongue, and the subject detected the taste after the film was dissolved by saliva.
