Green Potato isn't GOOD??

Greening potatoes is a completely a natural process. When potatoes expose to light it stimulates producing Chlorophyll. It seems green pigments. In this case yellow or brown potatoes turn in to green color. Chlorophyll do photosynthesis and produce carbon and oxygen from H2O and CO2 with sunlight.


      Greening is an indicator of producing some undesirable and harmful material called Solanine. It helps to protect potatoes from insects, bacteria but it's toxins to human. Normal potatoes cover has less solanine and it's plant has much high level of Solanine. Chlorophyll is a good indicator for solanine but it is not saying about exact measurement.

               Some high green colored potatoes can have less solanine too. The impact of solanine on human depends on tolerance and body size of the human.(Average 2mg/KG starts indicating symptoms).
           
          Low effects from them is vomiting, sweating headaches, etc: extreme effects are paralysis and convulsions.

Peeling potatoes can remove 30% of Solanine but 70% of Solanine is rest. Boiling or any cooking methods not remove Solanine. It very green or tastes bitter, they should be thrown away. Damaged potatoes easily expose to the light and converts to green. And also refrigerator temperature increased Solanine.

Global Warming changes Sea Levels?

Global warming is happened due to higher emissions of green house gases such as CO2, CH4 etc, and other heat generation tasks. The huge concentration of GHG cause to trap the heat inside the earth atmosphere. Sun rays are coming to the atmosphere through the layers of the Atmosphere and they are trapped uder the nearest layer of the atmosphere tothe earth. The frequency of those outgoing rays are decreases than the rays which are coming that is the reason why rays are trapped inside the layer of atmosphere. Therefore the heat is trapped also. This process is wanted to maintain the normal temperature of the earth and if it is not happen the earth’s temperature can be decreased -15 to -18 degrees of celsius. Above process is called Green house Effect. But by now this process is being happened more than expected level due to the higher emission of Green House Gases through auto mobiles and other machineries. Then the heat is trapped more and more, it affects on increasing global wa...

Solar Wind

Solar Wind is an energized stream which includes of charged particles , such as Electrons and Protons. Those particles are the most consisted in solar wind. But it includes alpha as well. When we are go into this topic " Solar Wind" , we have a doubt how its generated? Solar wind is Massive injection of those particles mentioned above. The main reason for the solar wind is the reaction which are occurred in the Sun's Core. Because of this reactions , charged particles are generated and they starting to move here and there with high(extreme) velocities. Due to this, those charged particles are reached to the outer boundary of the sun and then they are become free charged particles which have no more bound by the Sun's Gravity. Then they Escaped from the Sun's gravity and move like a stream What we call Solar Wind.And also travel as far as distance. Lets go and check more further what is solar wind......?? Sun extremely contains a gaseous body and a...

Irradiation Food 😲

Food irradiation is a processing and conservation technique with results similar to freezing or pasteurization. During this procedure, the food is exposed to ionizing or radiation doses. At low doses, irradiation prolongs the life of the product. This process kills insects, molds, bacteria and other harmful microorganisms in high doses. Food irradiation is a safe and effective processing method for the last five years. Food irradiation has been approved in 40 countries, including Australia, the US, Japan, China, France and Holland. Currently, only bs herbs and spices, bal plants and some tropical fruits have been approved by the FSANZ Food Standards Australia (FSANZ) for irrigation in accordance with the FSANZ Food Standards Code of Australia and New Zealand. For each of these, FSANZ has confirmed that there are no safety issues and significant nutritional changes due to food irradiation. Consumers can make a conscious choice by clearly labeling irradiated foods. Irradiated food...
