Starch From Potato Skins. Step By Step Simple, Cheap and fun. From Waste to Useful Material

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- We have some up and coming projects which need starch and as we don't like to waste anything we thought other than composting the potato skins we would see if there was enough starch in them to make extracting it worth while.
We used about 3x the amount of skins shown in the video to end up with the amount we did. However we have made some more since following the exact steps in this video, only to find we didn't have as much the second time.
The only reason we can come up with is that the first lot of potatoes were from the garden and we were a bit late getting them in.

How can we extract white dextrin from this starch
I dont know sorry. I will pin the comment and see if anyone else knows. Thanks for the comment.
Not sure if you guys are still interested, but you should theoretically be able to use this starch to make dextrin if you're willing to wash it and dry it properly first. You need to get it as close to a pure white starch as you can.
Put a thin layer of the starch on a baking sheet and place it in your oven at 400f, stirring every 20-30 minutes and rotating the sheet until all the starch turns a golden brown. Most people use this method with corn starch rather than potato starch so I'm not sure how it will turn out, but it could actually be an improvement due to potato starch (usually) having fewer fats contaminating it compared to corn starch.
Here's a video of someone making dextrin for fireworks using corn starch:

Thank you so much for the video!
can i ask, where did you find some informations about potato peels have starches, i cant find links or sites either, i badly need sites for our investigatory project and we are in need of information
Ive just run a very quick google search and found many different sites with a whole load of information. Just google "Starch from potato peel" thanks for your comment.
I can potatoes we grow. La Soda red potatoes. A lot of folks here in southern US call them new potatoes.
Anyway on to my inquiry...
In the bottom of the jars there's white starch mixed with the canning water. Everything I've looked up says potato starch is used from raw potatoes.
Do you ( or anyone else) know if this cooked starch can be used for anything?
I'm kinda hoping it can. I was thinking of using a dehydrator to dry it. Any thoughts about this?
I honestly don't know. I have always used raw starch. I would dehydrate it and see what it's like. If you decided to give it a try then please leave a comment to tell me how it went. Good luck
have you already tried it in using to make a bioplastic
No sadly we haven't. It was a project I really wanted to do but we just never got around to doing it. I may try this year
Awesome 👍 thanks!!!
You are welcome 🙂
Hey mate, you should try to make a square meter raised bed garden. For us city folk
Ron Hall i dont have enough room in my garden anymore. The chickens take up to much room. I will be growing more veg this year though.
i meant build one, muppet. build and make a video of square meter garden. i just seeded German Strawberry Tomatoes & Cuban Tomatoes, with some sugar snap peas for the trellis. not to mention beets-detroit deep red, carrots-bangor, and cucumbers....AWWWW evil laugh
Do you get netflix in your neck of the woods? I just watched a great series and proper good movie mate. Frontier is the series. Shot Caller is the Movie.
Ive put Frontier on my list it reminds me of a series called "Great Wild North" (on Netflix Now). The Movie isn't on Netflix here
You gotta watch frontier bruh
Does this work on sweet potato as well?
I honestly don't know. If check the starch content and it high like regular potato then I don't see why not. Thanks for your comment
The Off Grid Family thanks for the quick reply! I did it and it yields almost the same quantity as the potato did. Thanks!
@@A1phaXD oh wonderful. Tell me how it goes and good luck
@@TheOffGridFamily Sure thing! Our plan is to make a biostyrofoam out of starch.
The only problem we have now is how to make some sort of EPS Bead to turn into EPS but in biodegradable form xD
I started this project to make bioplastic but like with a lot of my plans I had to do something else and slowly forgot to do it. Send pictures to my email when you succeed (theoffgridfamily@gmail.com) good luck
Excuse me, is the fina product (starch) pure or mixed with other components??? I mean the quality of this starch
As far as I know it is pure starch. There may be some other components in there but that is because I didn't clean it properly. It should be all starch
The Off Grid Family thanks for replying, great job my friend I'm from saudi arabia i like what you did
Thanks very much and welcome to my channel. If you ever want a specific video made just message me and I will see what I can do.
The Off Grid Family I appreciate your kindness thank you very much 🙏
hello, how many grams of potato peels and ml of water did u use? thank you so much.
Hi there. I honestly can't remember. If its not in the video then I can't answer sorry
Do you leave wet of let dry out
I let it completely dry out and used it in cooking.
How did you get it from brown to white
If you just keep dissolving it in water evaporating it and then do it again. It will clean it more and more.
How much starch can b gained from the skin of one kg potato
I'm sorry I don't know. I will do more on potato starch in the future and take a more scientific approach. I'd check Google I'm sure someone has worked it out
I have to extract white dextrin from the starch gained from skin of potato so plz try to help me...i m student of m.phil chemistry ...my research is on this topic
Thanks you so much really helping video
I don't even know what dextrin is. I will look into it when I get a chance though
Dextrin is derivative of starch
i hope u can notice me i really need it for my research
Is it possible to extract banana peel starch like this?
Hi there. I have never tried to extract banana peel starch but I don't see why the process would be different. I hope this helps. Good luck
@@TheOffGridFamily I hope u'll answer my questions again :((
1. Did you let the starch dry before using it?
2. Does washing or soaking the peel with baking soda removes the starch content?
3. Does steaming the peel removes starch content?
4. Is it possible to use that starch for glue making?
thankyouu so muchhh
@@dalgom191 I try and reply to every comment so don't worry. Right:
1. Yes I dried it
2. No idea.
3. No idea but doubt it.
4. No idea.
If you would like you can email me and we can discuss a little better than in the comments. My email is TheOffGridFamily@gmail.com
You can do this with green bananas
