use of bones in sugar refining in india
Bone char Historically, bone char was often used in sugar refining as a decolorising and deashing agent, particularly in cane sugar as this contains more colored impurities. It has largely fallen out of use,[citation needed] particularly in the US and Europe, mainly for economic reasons but also due to the concerns of vegetarians and vegans, as well as various religious groups.
Green Revolution in India The Green Revolution in India was a period when agriculture in India increased its yields due to improved agronomic technology utilization. Green Revolution allowed developing countries, like India, to overcome poor agricultural productivity. It started in India in the early 1960s and led to an increase in food grain production, especially in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh during the early phase. The main development was higher-yielding varieties of wheat, which were developed by many scientists, including Indian geneticist M. S. Swaminathan, American agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug, and others. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research also claims credit for Udit singhal[1] for developing rust resistant strains of wheat.[2]
