    Author: Parveen K, Goni M, Shah GM.
    Journal: Indian J Physiol Pharmacol; 1990 Jan; 34(1):48-50. PubMed ID: 2361725.
    Abstract:
    Taste sensitivity and threshold of Phenylthiourea (PTC) was determined in 800 individuals of Kashmir who form a distinct ethnic group. Correlation, if any, with age, sex, blood group, pH of Saliva, or smoking habits was investigated. The taste sensitivity of P.T.C. increased with advancing age. The percentage of non-tasters was more in blood group 'B' & 'O'. However, no correlation was observed as far as sex, pH of saliva and smoking habits were concerned.
