It depends on the strength of the salt!
Water can move in and out of cells, like those of the potato. The water is attracted into whichever is the strongersolution, either the fluid inside the cell or the fluid outside.
Weak salt will not dehydrate potato, if its strength is less than that of the solutes inside the cells of the potato. But strong salt will.
A potato in salt water is hypotonic. This is because the salt water has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the potato cells, causing water to move out of the potato cells, leading to the cell shrinking.
When a potato is placed in a salt solution, osmosis occurs. Water molecules move from an area of higher concentration (inside the potato) to an area of lower concentration (the salt solution), causing the potato to lose water and shrink. This demonstrates the process of osmosis, where water moves across a semi-permeable membrane to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides.
I had never thought about using a sweet potato for salt extraction, but I always use a white potato. I think the sweet potato would flavor the foods whereas a white potato would absorb the flavor with the salt. An added note - don't leave the potato cooking until it completely cooks and gets soft or it will re-salt the food.
you have to slice it first then it will shrink
the slice you put in the salt will become watery because the salt has sodium in it. the sodium will pull the juice out of the apple
why dost thou wish to dehydrate yon potato? Ist thou a witch? Shalt thou repent, or be burned at yon stake!
Potato chips are high in salt, which can increase your thirst sensation by stimulating your body to retain water to maintain electrolyte balance. Additionally, the salt from the chips can dehydrate you, making you feel thirstier.
the salt in the salt water will dehydrate you and you will die.
yes it can
yes
When you are stranded in the middle of the ocean, do not drink the salt water: it will only dehydrate you more.
To dehydrate potato chips at home, thinly slice potatoes, soak in cold water, pat dry, season with desired flavors, and then bake in a low-temperature oven until crispy.
A potato will decrease in mass if salt (sodium chloride) is applied to it. The salt will absorb water which is contained in the potato.
No water at all because the salt will dehydrate you
To make sweet potato chips in a dehydrator, slice the sweet potatoes thinly, season them with salt and any desired spices, then arrange them in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 125F for 6-8 hours, or until the chips are crispy. Enjoy your homemade sweet potato chips as a healthy snack!
depends on the salt content of the potato and how concentrated the salt is. the more salt there is in the water than the potato- the more water will exit the potato which then loses mass.
potato, salt and oil.
