Jose Berrios, “Orange Peer Winner! enior science scholar Jose Ber¬ rios, student of David Schoon, Stanley Keller, and Ms. Yo¬ landa Hall, science teachers, related, “My grandfather told me once that during WWII, he had used a liquid from an orange peel to run his car.” This remembered childhood story set the stage for an idea which, in turn, triggered research into the basic char¬ acter of the lowly orange peel. What began with the simple hand squeezing of the orange peel’s juice soon graduated to liquifying the peel in a blender, to separating the peel’s emul¬ sions with sodium bicarbonate and eventually to conducting IR absorption spectrum and TLC chromatography testing in Iowa State University’s chemistry lab. Berrios found five compounds that are combustible in the orange peel oil. At the conclusion of his research, he determined that the self-same could possibly be used as a fuel source as well. And for his impressive scientific re¬ search and paper, Jose Berrios emerged looking like a science winner.
