Potato

The Irish potato famine was a massive social epidemic that resulted in the deaths of millions of people and started in the late 1840s and continued to the early 1850s. The crop failures that resulted in the Irish potato famine were caused by a late blight that destroys the leaves and roots of the potato crop. This epidemic lead to several deaths because almost half the Irish population had come to depend almost exclusively on the potato for their diet. To this day, the Ireland had experienced the

I guess our story begins with the “Potato Capital of the World,” Blackfoot, Idaho. Grief had just overtaken the Cooper family as the aching feeling of loss filled their hearts and minds. Nana Cooper had died peacefully in her house. Luna, the family’s only child’s life would change forever. LUNA I don’t really know what to say except I guess I’m a millionaire now. It all

the "Great Potato Famine”. Because people in Ireland relied so much on potatoes, a crop failure due to a late blight started the six year famine. This famine was disastrous for the people in Ireland causing more than 25% of the population to emigrate or die. By 1852, the famine finally died down because the potato recovering and there was a lot less people to feed. Overall, the famine was disastrous period of time for Ireland. The people of Ireland at the time, relied heavily on the potato crop. Around

The potato helped create this jump but caused people to be more dependent on the potato. Beginning in 1845, a potato fungus that began in Belgium, spread across Europe and had devastating effects in Ireland. The poorest farmers were the first to feel the effects. In hard-hit areas people were dying of starvation. Many tried to eat grass to ward off hunger. When potato crops failed farmers could no longer pay their rent. Scores of poor

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

In 1845, the Great Potato Famine, otherwise called the Great Irish Famine happened. Amid this time there was a high measure of potato/edit disappointment on account of the "late curse" which is a sickness that decimates the leaves, roots or tubers of the potato plant. This was the most exceedingly terrible starvation to happen in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. This illness obliterated the majority of the potato edits in Ireland until 1849. Additionally, in the 1840's Ireland was in destitution

In the early 1800s life in Ireland wasn’t easy, Irish citizens got by day to day by farming and relying on the potato. The potato was their main source of food and money. With out the potato the Irish would have nothing. No one was prepared for what was about to happen in 1845, the beginning of the Great Irish Potato Famine.      The Irish Potato Famine was the worst tragedy in the history of Ireland. The outcome of the famine would result in hundreds of thousands dead

mass of potato will be decrease due to its temper is to make an equivalent concentration between the solution and potato. For instance, in the graph that above shows the first one on x-axis is the highest mass of potato that spent 5 days in distilled water. On the other hand, the fourth one is the lowest mass, which represents 4M sucrose solution of potato. Moreover, the data proves my prediction, as water molecules from higher sucrose solution of potato moves out actively from the potato through

Great Famine, the dreaded calamity, or if your outside of Ireland the Irish Potato Famine. Occurring between 1847-1852, the famine claimed the lives of around one million people and caused millions to flee Ireland, in order to escape the bleak situation it was. Today I will be giving some background of life in Ireland before the famine started of the average citizen, I will briefly discuss the pathogen that killed the potato crop, the government response to the famine, the overall consequences and

concentration) of potato tubers deduce by measuring the loss or gain in mass of samples immersed in sucrose solutions of different concentrations for 24 hours? The concentrations of sucrose solution are 0.0mol 〖dm〗^(-3), 0.2mol 〖dm〗^(-3), 0.4mol 〖dm〗^(-3), 0.6mol 〖dm〗^(-3), 0.8mol 〖dm〗^(-3), and 1.0 mol 〖dm〗^(-3). Hypothesis: When plant tissues are immersed in sucrose solutions of different concentration, the cells will gain or lose water by osmosis and therefore change in size and mass. If the potato samples
