MorphGlaze: Point of Detection Device for the estimation of Morpholine on coated fruits and vegetables

Besides the fact that it rhymes, it was never stated which apple do we like to eat, does it a bright red wax coated or ungloss fresh/natural one? Morpholine is a common solvent and emulsifier to give an “attractive look” to fruits/vegetables to help them last longer and remains shiny and fresh even during prolonged transit. Morpholine alone does pose a health risk but when it combines with atmospheric and dietary nitrates, it forms the potent carcinogen N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR). Excessive formation of NMOR can cause multiple primary neoplasms in the respiratory, upper digestive tracts, and liver.
