Abstract

The fresher and purer the substances that are used in the manufacture of food items, the more pure and quality the manufactured food items will be. If adulterated and impure substances are used in the manufacture of food items, then the manufactured food items will be of low quality and cause diseases in humans. Pure food is necessary for every human being not only for survival but also for leading a healthy and active life. Due to this, there is a gradual development of the body. If the growing children do not get all the essential nutrients in the food, then those children suffer from many diseases. Children who eat impure food often become victims of malnutrition.
