Srimathi, M.S. | Karanth, N.G.K. | Majumder, S.K.
A study examined the influence of the most commonly-used insecticide, BHC (hexachlorocyclohexane), on certain element constituents and on protein and carbohydrate shifts in 6 different vegetables. BHC-induced nutrient composition shifts differed for different vegetables and followed no particular pattern, whether the edible portion was fruit, tuber, or greens. The iron content, however, was not decreased, nor the carbohydrate content increased, in any of the vegetables tested. (wz)
