Taste detection threshold is the minimum concentration of a flavoured substance detectable by the sense of taste. Sweetness detection thresholds are usually measured relative to that of sucrose , sourness relative to dilute hydrochloric acid , saltiness relative to table salt ( NaCl ), and bitterness to quinine .

The PTC taste test has been widely used in school and college practical teaching as an example of Mendelian polymorphism in human populations. Based on a taste test, usually of a piece of paper soaked in PTC (or the less toxic propylthiouracil (PROP)), students are divided into taster and non-taster groups.
