History of the Potato At 12,000 feet above sea level, in the Andes Mountains of South America lies the origins of our versitale vegatable, the potato. Around 4,500 years ago is when Archeologists estimate that the Inca of Peru began propagating the earliest forms of potatoes. These some what ancient forms of potatoes were small with purple skins, yellow flesh and carried a dense and bitter taste. Overtime the Inca Began harvesting them and developing a better tasting vegetable. During a time

The potato famine started in the mid 1800s and lasted for several years, killing over a million irish people and causing 6 million to flee the country. Potatoes were vital to the irish diet, many irish people ate mostly potatoes since they were so poor. Many got infected by this epidemic. This report will talk about the irish potato famine. The potato blight was originally discovered in Belgium. The potato blight hit Ireland in 1845 in june. Know it is known that the same infection also hit America

early nineteenth century in Ireland. A visit to the countryside would mean seeing endless rows of potato bushes in fields as far as the eye could see. The potato became the staple of Irish diet, with one-third of the population depending on the root by 1844. But within a year, more than half of the potato crops were destroyed by the blight and thus began the Irish Potato Famine. The failure of the potato crop and its subsequent starvation was attributable to one thing: monocropping. Ireland actually

Information Potatoes first originated in South America and were later introduced to Europe by Spanish explorers. Now, potatoes have become an important staple food item to have in the kitchen. They are packed with more energy than any other vegetable. A potato is made of potassium, vitamin C, fiber, starch, water, and fat. The concentration of each component is as follows: 18% starch, 78% water, 2-5%protein, and 1% fat. Hypothesis If the concentration of the salt solution increases then, its mass will

Transcendentalists look at Christopher McCandless as a hero or admire him for his lack of material things. They say he was a survivalist because of they way he lived his life. McCandless left his normal life to become a hitchhiker and survivalist but he failed. True survivalists, such as Bear Grylls and Les Stroud, do not leave their life to chance, they make a plan and follow it, and live to tell the story, but Chris McCandless did not. To be an true accomplished survivalist one must go

Currently, the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth food most consumed worldwide, after rice, wheat and corn. It is important constituent of people's diet from different countries, being grown on over 18 million acres spread over 125 countries (FAO, 2009). The Solanum tuberosum L. is considered the main vegetable crop both in cultivated area and in food preference, competing mainly with tomato within this sector. Potato is one of the most nutritious foods for humans. It has good quality

DRYING OF POTATO SLICES: EFFECT OF PRETREATMENTS AND MATHEMATICAL MODELINGjfpp_594 310..319 I˙BRAHIM DOYMAZ1 ABSTRACT The effect of pretreatments on drying characteristics of potato slices was investigated in a cabinet dryer. The experiments were conducted on potato slices with thickness of 8 mmat 65Cwith an air velocity of 2.0 m/s.Prior to drying,potato sliceswere pretreated with citric acid solution (1:25 w/w, 3 min, 20C) or blanched hot water (3 min, 80C). Besides, the untreated samples were dried

There is clear evidence that invasive species of plants and animals can cause grave consequences to native organisms. Charles Mann talks about this a lot in his book 1493, and provides his readers with several examples of this problem. Some people believe that strict laws should be enforced when it comes to the movement of plants, animals, and people between distant places. I’m an environmental-friendly person and even support the Green Party, but I completely disagree with this. I realize that this
