The purpose of this experiment is determining the best storage conditions for potatoes for a specific time period. Colorimeter was used to make comparison between surface colors of potatoes.

Solanine is a gylcoalkoloid molecule. Mostly found in nightshade family in nature. It provides protection to wounded organs of plants against microorganisms (Eie & Larsen, 2012). It’s an important molecule due to its undesirable significant effects on humans.
