Nutritional toxicity
Nutrient
toxicity condition is also described as
nutrient deficiency. Intake of nutrients obtained in food found in plants and
animals for proper growth, metabolism and repair is known as nutrition.
Providing more or excess fertilizers
to the nutrient uptake may leads to nutritional toxicity. The deficiency of nutrient in plants cause to
Stunted growth (decreased growth), Chlorosis (lack of chlorophyll), Interveinal
chlorosis (yet veins remain green), Necrosis (death of plant tissue), Burning
(severe localized yellowing, scorched appearance), Immobile nutrient (stops the
flow of nutrients from one body parts to another) and Mottling
(spotted, irregular patterns on leaves). By using different elements like
calcium, iron, manganese, potassium, magnesium,
molybdenum, copper, sulfur and zinc as fertilizers can also changes the pH
fluctuations in the plants and leads to more toxicity. In this cases, the
nutritional values changes and mostly leads to nutritional toxicity and even
effects the regular diets in living organisms. So, uses of excess fertilizers
are very harmful.
Edelweiss
Journal of Food Science and Technology
publishes articles related to food science and technology and cover various
topics such as nutrition, health, dietetics, clinical nutrition and many more. Articles related to nutritional toxicity
can be research, review or Case reports. All of these types of manuscripts are
welcomed to publish in the Edelweiss
Journal of Food Science and Technology.
This Journal is running by Edelweiss publications with eminent editors for peer
review process.
