For example, boiling potatoes reduces the ?-chaconine and ?-solanine levels by only 3.5 % and 1.2 %, respectively; the corresponding loss during microwaving is 15 %.

Without testing, you could end up with the GMO equivalent of the conventionally bred Lenape potato, which produced unusually high levels of solanine .-- talk ) 18 : 30, 30 June 2016 ( UTC)

Frying can do this, because you basically extract the solanine, but cooking in water is not hot enough to do much to the toxin .-- talk ) 14 : 09, 8 October 2009 ( UTC)

Underscoring that point, the FBI's latest weekly bulletin to state and local law enforcement agencies cautions terrorists might use two naturally occurring toxins _ nicotine and solanine _ to poison U . S . food or water supplies.

The U . S . National Toxicology Program suggests that the average American consume at most 12.5 mg / day of solanine from potatoes ( the toxic dose is actually several times this, depending on body weight ).

Others are solanine, which is extracted from potatoes that remain green as they grow, and nicotine, the tobacco ingredient, which, federal health officials say, can be lethal in a dose of about 40 to 60 milligrams.

The final part of this story in which potatoes take control can also be seen as describing a nightmare or hallucination resulting from a case of solanine poisoning caused by eating old potatoes, many of which are present in the Taits'cabinet.

Douglas L . Holt, the State Extension Specialist for Food Safety at the University of Missouri, notes that no reported cases of potato-source solanine poisoning have occurred in the U . S . in the last 50 years, and most cases involved eating green potatoes or drinking potato-leaf tea.

The figure at right above presents the structure of the alkaloid phytotoxin solanine, a monodesmosidic, branched-saccharide steroidal saponin . ( The lipophilic steroidal structure is the series of connected six-and five-membered rings at the right of the structure, while the three oxygen-rich sugar rings are at left and below.
