PROP taster status

PROP taster status was determined by using a method developed by Keller et al. (2002). Children were classified as "tasters" or "non-tasters" by giving them 5 ml of 0.56 mmol l-1 solution of PROP (6-n-propylthiouracil; pharmacy of Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands) after which they were asked the question: "Do you taste anything?"
