vegetables taste better when the salt has been added during coking rather than from the siler one of the effects of cooking vegetables in salted water is that the flavour is improved... however through the process of osmosis some nutrients can be lost this is because they will be moving out of the vegetable to the outside where there is a higher concentration of salt
What else can I help you with?
Why is the potatoes soaked in concentrated salt solution becomes flaccid?
The potatoes become flacid because the salt water drins out the moisture from the cells of the potatoes. This process is called exo-osmosis . The cells lose their turgidity and hence the potatoes become flacid :)
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
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.
How does the concentration of salt water affect the crispness of potato chips?
Increasing the concentration of salt in the water will create a hypertonic solution. When potato slices are soaked in this hypertonic solution, water will move out of the potato cells through osmosis, resulting in a crispier texture due to the removal of excess moisture.
What happens to concrete if it is soaked in salt water?
Concrete is corroded by salted water.
What will happen to a raw potato in water with salt?
you have to slice it first then it will shrink
Why put potato in salt water?
Potatoes are often soaked in salt water to remove excess starch from the surface, which can help them achieve a crispier texture when fried. Additionally, soaking them in salt water can also enhance their flavor by allowing the salt to penetrate the potato.
Will a potato lose weight if it is peeled and soaked in a salt water solution for a day?
Because of osmosis the water in the potato will move into the hypertonic solution causing the potato to lose weight.
Potato strip soaked in the 10 percent NaCl bendable?
When a potato strip is soaked in a 10 percent NaCl solution, it undergoes osmosis, where water moves out of the potato cells due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cells. This causes the cells to lose water, leading to shrinkage and the potato strip becoming bendable.
How do food soaked in salt water?
Salt is a preservative.
Why is the potatoes soaked in concentrated salt solution becomes flaccid?
The potatoes become flacid because the salt water drins out the moisture from the cells of the potatoes. This process is called exo-osmosis . The cells lose their turgidity and hence the potatoes become flacid :)
Is a salt soaked paper towel a good conductor of electricity?
Assuming you mean "salt water soaked", yes.
What is the effect on salt on mass of a potato?
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.
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
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.
Do potato cubes gain or lose mass in salt water solutions?
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.
Why is home grown leaf lettuce soaked first in salt water and then rinsed and then soaked in tap water?
to get rid of bugs
What happen to a raw potato kept in salt water?
If it was placed in a salty solution the potato strip would shrink because the outer solution has a high salt concentration so the water in the potato strip would get out through osmosis and would try to balance the solution
To much salt in pea and ham soup how you neutralize?
To reduce the saltiness of any oversalted dish simply peel a potato and let it simmer in the dish for about 20 minutes after this time remove the potato and it will have soaked up the salt.
