NileRed wasn't too pleased by the outcome, but I think he shortchanged himself. Some grapes do have a musty tone and probably because they have a certain excess of the characteristic odor/flavor, methyl anthranilate itself. He probably added twice as much as necessary.

I was good at high school chemistry so in the chem lab, my teacher allowed me to experiment with substances that were off limits to most of the other students. For me that meant elemental sodium, lithium and potassium. One day the teacher had a small jar of elemental sodium under some non-reactive oil and offered me a tiny piece to see how it would react. Since we didn't have a river to toss it into like Cody, I had to do it under the hood. I put a few drops of water on a tray and under the hood added the bit of sodium. It danced around like a grasshopper, breaking down the H20 and giving off hydrogen gas. Being highly flammable, (think of the Hindenburg) the heat of the reaction ignited the H2 gas. Note that H2O can be written HOH, which emphasizes the fact that water is a hydroxide of hydrogen: H+ -OH. 2Na + 2HOH → 2NaOH +H2 - [Sodium + water creates lye and hydrogen] In Cody's case, using potassium, the reaction would be: 2K + 2HOH → 2KOH +H2 The lesson was the activity of metals. Sodium and its cousins, including potassium, are highly active and are never found in their elemental state in nature.

Probably to do with the water ratio of the peel vs the fruit itself. The peel probably contains much less water overall compared to the fruit itself. So when dried, the mass of the peel becomes nearly the same to that of the fruit.
@GogiRegion5 ай бұрын
This is actually a very fair point. It also could be that the potassium salts in some way benefit the peel. Citrus fruits actually contain more of the aroma and flavor compounds in the peels than the flesh because they’re hydrophobic and therefore prevent the juice from escaping.

Interesting video. Enjoy watching the process of extraction potassium out of bananas. Thanks
@brainiac753 жыл бұрын
Yes! The peels do contain the most potassium. I tested the radioactivity of bananas earlier this year, and the peels were clearly the most radioactive part. Probably due to the higher potassium content. Maybe higher concentrations of other NORMs too.

i think it's due to the peel being more dense than the fruit itself and that the fruit itself is what is distributing the potassium from the plant. due to pressures within and outside the fruit changing, one could imagine particle expansion taking place and over time the more the fruit grows the more potassium is pushed into the peel. potassium banana peel particle net.

Nothing was working for me in my world - especially as I live at the other end of the world in Australia (the land of Oz:-} ) THEN i stumbled across this site and the FANTASTIC effort you put in to this project of yours. ( Reminded me of how people make/compound natural medicines by concentrating their energy by incredible DILUTION.) It exhausted me just reading of all the work you went to in your strange "laboratory" of odd equipment and utensils! I was so tired I had to go take a nap, but was so embarrassed by all your amazing effort for such a simple demonstration, I couldn't sleep and had to get back to work. Great job, Cody, but wasted on most of the world's 60 seconds of attention/concentration ability. But thank you, we need a lot more of you to save the planet today.
