Canadian and Indian research collaborators have produced a double-fortified salt (DFS) containing iron and iodine that can be produced on a mass scale.
The project generated several technologies derived from the original hexanal-based Enhanced Freshness Formulation (EFF).
This keynote address explains how the Research on Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D) project is using desktop regional reviews, cross-regional surveys, cross regional and country case studies, action research studies and focused i
Patents are pending for an innovative technique that uses nanotechnology to extend and optimize the use of hexanal to keep fruits fresh and firm longer.
