प्रश्न
Home-made fruit juices are turbid, while the bottled ,fruit juices purchased from the market are clear. Give a reason for this difference.
उत्तर
Bottled juices are transparent because they have been filtered and clarified and they frequently contain additives to maintain their stability and clarity.

It is used as a larvicide all over the world due to its ability to produce a toxic protein that primarily targets the larvae of mosquitoes. In Sweden, Bti has been applied on a large scale in the form of commercially available granular formulation Vecto Bac G (Valent BioScience, USA). The applications have taken place in the lower Dalalven River Area to control mass outbreaks of the floodplain mosquito Aedes sticticus. |
