Application of Agricultural Biotechnology for High Nutritious Food Products
Abstract
Agricultural biotechnology has some controversy impacts on global economy and international regulations. But, it has enhanced the production of crops and foods with high nutritious. Some time, it has not secured human and environmental safety, intellectual property rights, consumer choice, ethics, food security, poverty reduction and environmental conservation. Even though, it has provided benefits to agricultural producers with improved safety and wholesomeness. Engineered plants have helped in improved crop yields per acre with insect or pests resistance cultivars via less of utilization of herbicides, pesticides, and water and tilling. Reduced pest damage in transgenic corn can express the genes to control insect or pests at lower levels of mycotoxins (a carcinogen). Biotechnological methodologies and development has helped in genetically modification of crops with proper organizations, rules and regulations to ensure food safety. Nutritionally improved golden rice, biotech brinjal, late blight-resistant potato or potato ring and spot virus-resistant papaya are Genetically Modified (GM) crops for commercial cultivation. Improvement of agronomic traits (yield and abiotic stress resistance) has shown in improved biomass feedstock’s, nutrition and food functionality as well as production factories for therapeutics and industrial products. Biofortification is feasible and cost-effective techniques for delivering micronutrient with improved nutrition globally. Increasing iron, zinc and β-carotene (provitamin A) content in staple foods can be achieved by conventional plant breeding and genetic engineering tools as provided the improved micronutrient composition in plant foods. In this proposed paper author will discuss about techniques to improve nutrient in foods.
