Cecilia Wong Nature of the task and the research question: Two centimetre piece of potato is bathes into different salt solutions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%) over a period of time, to determine the effect of different salt solutions on osmosis. To investigate the effect of increasing the concentration of sodium chloride (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 25%, 35%) on the process of osmosis, by calculating the mass change of the potato core (g, ±0.01g) at room temperate of lab (25.0˚C) Table 1: Raw data Table…

Mustard oil is a fatty vegetable oil which is obtained from mustard seeds. There are basically three varieties of mustard oil available. The difference between these three varieties lies in the method of extraction, chemical composition and properties. The fatty vegetable mustard oil is extracted by pressing mustard seeds. Mustard oil is obtained by cold compression of the mustard seeds and by infusing this extracted oil with other oils to get the final product. Essential mustard oil is obtained…

were placed in the water then the potatoes would expand because the potato would soak the distilled water if they were placed in other solutions than the potato will lose mass. The Independent Variable is the Types of Solution and, The Dependent Variable is the size of the potatoes.…

From this angle I was in an excellent position to dig my head into his chest and chin, attempting to transfer as much of the guck to him as I could before he could slither away. Locked hand in hand, we rolled around the kitchen floor, smearing each other, and everything we touched, with slimy potatoes. As slick as greased pigs, he was only briefly able to pin my hands to the floor. In retaliation, I began to shake my head violently back and forth, spraying him, and also, the table, the chairs…

Potato or scientifically named as Solanum tuberosum is a raw ingredient that contains high in enzyme polyphenol oxidase (Faisal. S et.al, 2013) which influence in the oxidative activity when the potatoes are cut causing it to become brown in color (Vitti M.C et. al, 2011). Potatoes are not encouraged to be sun-dried as the slow process of removal of water will induce the growth of fungal on the food's surface (Faisal. S et.al, 2013). Blanching treatments or osmotic dehydration method where…

Lindsey: Hello, everyone. Over the last few months our group has been working on : “the wasting of ugly produce.” After studying world hunger as a class, we focused in on food insecurity in Napa. We started with three topics, after a while our group decided on food waste.

the concentration outside the cell. As discussion in the introduction, the increase of solute concentration in the potato and less outside caused the potato to gain mass and swell. This resulted in the potato receiving water from the concentration outside the potato giving increasing its mass. This is an example of a hypotonic…

able to say they changed the world, yet the potato could easily brag “Been there, done that. Twice.” The domestication of the potato allowed many different civilizations, especially in Europe, to grow and flourish by providing a stable source of nutrients and vitamins. People all around the world today enjoy potatoes in hundreds of different forms, but the tuber everyone knows and loves was not always so easily accepted. The domestication of the potato started nearly 13,000 years ago in The…
