JYOTI RANJAN ROUT AND YOSTNAMAYEE PANDA

Abstract

Fruits and vegetables (F and V) are colourful, flavorful and highly nourishing constituents of our daily diets, which are always credible due to their supplementation of a diversified group of micro and macronutrients. However, growing demand and huge population are forcing farmers and vendors for the implementation of artificial colours, preservatives and ripeners as well as huge varieties of pesticides and chemical fertilizers to fulfill the demand. Beside these practices, heavy metal depositions in soil and subsequently to F and V due to anthropogenic activities are combinedly becoming major issues for public health. Therefore, the aim of this review is to alert the people that if we are not aware of to protect our environment, then gradually we will consume toxic chemicals instead of nutrients through foods. Additionally, this is a small attempt to make consumer to be informed about the quality of F and V which are available in our nearby markets.
