A new thrust from the world GM is about to be inflicted on the agricultural market. The Speciality camera Fruits Okanagan Canadian company has just made an apple that does not tarnish ever, even after cut. This fruit, which is precisely the case with nickname "bone of contention" was christened "Arctic Apple" (Apple camera Arctic) and short could receive marketing authorization in the United States.
The authorization until a few years ago it was taken for granted, but luckily today it no longer is. There are many opponents of GMOs, even in liberal America, and you're already picking up the chorus of protests. For organic farmers entering the Arctic apple would be an economic disaster, camera for others a huge problem.
The gilding (or blackening) is a natural process, say the farmers 'traditional', linked to the contact of the fruit with oxygen. For this see an apple that goes against nature makes an impression. This has been possible thanks to the reduction, since almost elimination, polyphenol oxidase, the enzyme that makes the apple turn brown. With this elimination the freshness of the fruit is much longer, up to even speculate that does not rot ever.
But not everyone is opposed to entry into the market of GMOs. According to some associations in fact an apple that does not tarnish may be more appealing to kids and get them to eat more fruits, according to others it is a way as any to provide food for the population. Now the Arctic apple will be put under scrutiny and, if it were to obtain permits, is expected to enter the market in the United States early next year.
According to officials of the Department of Agriculture the only reason for which the apples could not be authorized GMOs is that the genetic camera modification may change the nutritional value of the fruit, resulting in harmful consequences to your health.
L 'Italy as he took the news? Obviously not good. Coldiretti became immediately feel that reporting a survey conducted a few months ago that 76% of Italians are against GMOs of any kind. In addition, our country has decided to reject these types of crops not only for ethical and health, but also an economic as our apples, from the Val di Non Alto Adige, Campania to the Valtellina, are among the best quality in the world and the markets would suffer camera heavily.
