This research study entitled, “The Utilization of Aerial Potato for the Production of Alcohol,” dealt with the extraction of alcohol from aerial potato. It was conducted to determine the alcohol content present in aerial potato and the physical and chemical
properties of the alcohol produced
Aerial potatoes were gathered in Buna Lejos, Indang, Cavite. They were peeled and boiled for an hour to facilitate extraction. The extract was fermented for 2 weeks. After the last racking period, the extract, measuring a volume of 500 ml was distilled up to the boiling temperature of the solution. The weight of the distillate was measured in the analytical balance and the percent yield of alcohol was calculated. The physical and chemical properties of the alcohol was determined in terms of specific gravity, boiling point, flammability test , miscibility test and specific chemical tests for the presence of methyl and ethyl alcohol and iodoform test.
The specific gravity obtained using the hydrometer method was 0.88 with a boiling point of 80°C which was determined using capillary method. The test for the presence of= methyl alcohol did not show a positive result which means the absence of methyl alcohol.
However, the test for ethanol showed a positive result which indicates its presence. To further identify the presence of ethanol, an iodoform test was conducted which gave favorable results. Another test was done, which was a flammability test. The test showed slight flammability of the sample, which further indicates the presence of ethanol in the sample. Miscibility test showed that the alcohol extract is soluble in water, 95% ethyl alcohol and slightly soluble in water.
Based on the result of the study. It showed that alcohol can be produced from aerial potato.
