Question

Assuming that you have been chewing a cracker for 5 minutes. How would taste change, Why? How would u prove it

Answer 1

The enzymes in your saliva break down the starches in the cracker into sugars.  The cracker would taste sweeter.

The only way I would know to prove it is compare a test for some known sugars on a dry cracker to the results of a test for the same sugars on chewed cracker pulp.  You would have to test the level of sugar that is normally in your saliva, so that can be eliminated as a cause.
