New Technology Procured for Detecting Chemicals in Fruits & Vegetables
A Ph.D. student has devised a unique technique for detecting pesticide residue’s presence on the surface of fruits & vegetables. With the help of colleagues from different parts of the world, the student has created a base of silver nanoparticles on which he has developed flexible sensing films. For developing these sensors, the scientists from various universities like ITMO & National University of Singapore have come together & they have performed an experiment in which they had mixed melamine & minor quantity of silver nitrate in a Petri dish & they have topped it with a small layer of agar gel. The resulting compound is then used for creating films which are then used for testing the presence of pesticides in the eatables. The Process Silver nitrate is very famous in the medical field as an antibacterial agent & it is used as a substance for developing agents. The importance comprises of silver & it is very cheap & accessible. Now. The presence...
