Fake Saliva
We are in need for a standard formula for artificial saliva. Are you aware of any such formulation?
Q: We are in need for a standard formula for artificial saliva. Are you aware of any such formulation? K. K.
A: It just so happens that I do have a formulation. I few years ago, I was called upon to develop a test of a plated deposit using saliva. After spinning my wheels for a period of time, a friend in the biological sciences gave me the following formulation:
| Component | Concentration |
| Sodium chloride | 0.400 g/liter |
| Potassium chloride | 0.400 g/liter |
| Calcium chloride | 0.795 g/liter |
| Monosodium phosphate | 0.695 g/liter |
| Sodium sulfide | 0.005 g/liter |
| Urea | 1.000 g/liter |
In my case, we were testing to determine how certain plated trinkets would hold up if placed in one’s mouth for an extended period of time. I assume you require the formulation for a similar reason.
