Vegetables are very important in the human diet because it provide many nutrients for our body. Different types of industrial effluents, chemical fertilizers, municipal waste, and pesticides have resulted heavy metal accumulation soil ultimately vegetables. Exposure to metals by consumption contaminated vegetables its toxicity is a serious concern human/animal. This present study reveals differ...

The present study demonstrates accumulation and distribution of heavy metals (Fe, Cr, Cd, Pb & Cu) in cultivated soil and vegetables, and its potential implication to health risk via consumption of contaminated vegetables. Deposition of atmospheric metals results significant enrichment of metal contents (Pb=1.6, Cu=1.4 & Cd=15.9) in cultivated soil. Elevated metal content in soil facilitate hig...

Concentration and daily intake (DI) of heavy metals [lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu)] were investigated in four common edible vegetables including coriander, dill, radish root and radish leaf grown at peri-urban sites in Sanandaj, Iran. A total of 120 composite samples of vegetables were taken from ten vegetable farms during six months from May to October 2012. Inductivel...

Vegetables are an essential dietary source of nutrients and fiber for the health wellbeing human beings. The demand vegetables has increased substantially in recent years. However, research linked vegetable consumption with various pathogenic bacteria that public concern. present study was designed to isolate identify bacteriological composition fluted pumpkin, bitter leaf, scent leaf commonly ...

Soil is an essential resource for agricultural production. In order to investigate the pollution situation of heavy metals in soil-crop system e-waste dismantling area, crop and soil samples (226 pairs, including leaf vegetables, solanaceous root fruits) around area southeastern Zhejiang Province were collected. The concentrations Cd, Cu, Pb, Cr determined. average soils 0.94, 107.79, 80.28, 78...

The use of sanitizers is essential for produce safety. However, little is known about how sanitizer efficacy varies with respect to the chemical surface properties of produce. To answer this question, the disinfection efficacies of an oxidant-based sanitizer and a new surfactant-based sanitizer for porcine rotavirus (PRV) strain OSU were examined. PRV was attached to the leaf surfaces of two ka...

Natural antioxidants compounds are present in leaf, rhizome, stem, fruits, vegetables, tea etc. They are recognized as important compounds in conferring stability against oxidation in vitro. Natural antioxidant compounds can be classified into Exogenous antioxidants and Endogenous antioxidants, Enzymatic and NonEnzymatic antioxidants. Naturally occurring antioxidants compounds are carotenoids, ...
