Catalase is an enzyme that is present in potatoes that catalyzes the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into H20 (water) and O2 (oxygen). This oxygen that is being formed in the enzymatic reaction is the cause for the bubbles that you see forming.

Does hydrogen peroxide foam on any substance?
No it only foams where bacteria and dirt is at on skin or other substances.
How do you know that the raw foods contained catalase?
When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water. The bubbles you see in the foam are pure oxygen bubbles being created by the catalase.
Household food items that can break down hydrogen peroxide?
potatoes or liver anything with the enzyme catalase
