There is a great loss of vegetables during harvestiong and post harvest treatments. Most of this loss is caused by the microflora present on their surface which lead towards various diseases and their hilarious growth ultimately tend them towards their complete rottening or decay. Carrots being an important vegetable comprising a variety of vitamins and compounds necessary for human health are considered to be vital for normal growth of the body. Likewise other vegetables their great loss is due to a wide range of microbes present on their surface. This book explains about the use of...

Nanomaterials are at the leading edge of the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology. Their unique size-dependent properties make these materials superior and indispensable in many areas of human activity. Copper-oxide Nano adsorbents are attractive for wastewater treatment for because Nano adsorbents can remove contaminants from wastewater rapidly. In the present work, cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by adopting aqueous precipitation method using copper sulphate 5-hydrate as a precursor and NaOH as a stabilizing agent. This gives a large scale production of CuO-NPs...
