Ingestion of vegetables containing pesticides is one of the main routes through which these enter the human body. Slowly released into the body, however, pesticides can cause an array of diseases. In this study we investigated the concentrations of some pesticides in the most frequently con...
متن کاملAntioxidant and Nutritional Activity Studies of Green Leafy Vegetables
An investigation was carried out with nine green leafy vegetables (GLV’s) with their popular varieties most commonly grown in India to determine their biochemical composition. Among leafy vegetables ascorbic acid was found maximum in Chenopod cultivar Bathua Local (60.6 mg/100 g fw.) followed by Pusa Bathua -1 (23.0 mg/100g fw.) and spinach cultivar PS-1 (51 mg/100 g fw.). Significantly high le...
