C7H8N2S

Phenylthiocarbamide

 
" Phenylthiocarbamide, also known as PTC, or phenylthiourea, is an organic molecule. It has the unusual property of either tasting very bitter, or being virtually tasteless, depending on the genetic makeup of the taster. The ability to taste PTC is a dominant genetic trait. The test to determine PTC sensitivity is one of the most common genetic tests on humans. PTC has a chemical formula of: C7H8N2S. About 70% of people can taste PTC, varying from a low of 58% for Aboriginal people of Australia and New Guinea to 98% for Indigenous peoples of the Americas. One study has found that non-smokers and those not habituated to coffee or tea have a statistically higher percentage of tasters than the general population. There is conflicting evidence whether a higher percentage of women taste PTC versus men. ".. Read more about PTC
