Unveiling the Science Behind this Phenomenon. Potato electricity, also known as a potato battery, is a simple experiment that demonstrates how chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy. By inserting two different metallic objects, like a copper wire and a zinc-coated nail, into a potato, you can create a small electrical current.

The surfaces of potatoes were irradiated with electrons of different energy levels, and the effects on sprouting were investigated. Electrons at 270 keV or higher effectively inhibited sprouting of four cultivars of potatoes, cvs Danshaku, Hokkaikogane, Toyoshiro and May Queen, even after storage at 23 °C for 4 months.

Potato is a major staple food around the world; some of this production requires storage. The need for storage is largely driven by climatic conditions which dictate when the crop should be planted and harvested. The objective of potato storage is always to keep the crop in its best possible condition throughout, limiting inputs and interventions …

If potatoes are stored for 6 months at 90% RH versus 95%, the shrinkage difference would likely be 3% which on a 100,000 cwt of potatoes at $5.00 /cwt market price would result in $15,000 less income. Continuous air circulation and proper humidification can reduce shrinkage and aid in maintaining the quality of the potatoes in storage.
