Summary

Description
English: Human saliva is an aqueous solution of mucin proteins. These high molecular weight protein chains make our saliva sticky and resistant to capillary break up. You can fish out a sample out of your mouth and stretch it between your thumb and forefinger. As the liquid bridge thins down a slender thread emerges and smaller satellite droplets start to appear on this slender thread. This “beads on a string” structure can sometimes stay in the air for minutes.
