- Abstract
The goals of the experiments detailed below were, on one hand, to determine the nitrate and nitrite content in supermarket (greenhouse) cucumbers as compared to the cucumbers collected from farms located in two villages, Coltau and Sisesti, in Maramures County, and on the other hand to assess to what extent such content could be reduced, in order to minimise the negative impact on human health.
