Dr. Rajbhandari used guava leaves to make water-based sprayable natural preservative which can be used to prevent produce from being spoiled. Since Nepal doesn\u2019t have cold chain technology or non-toxic preservatives readily available, nearly one-third of Nepal\u2019s produce gets spoiled before it reaches the market each year.<\/li>\n<li>His project if implemented effectively can be a huge help to make the produce last longer in the Nepali market.<\/li>\n<li>He says, &#8220;Winning the Challenge is more than I could dream of. I can now scale up the project, and work with local teams to turn it into a success.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Dr. K\u00fcemmerer, Chair of the Challenge&#8217;s scientific jury also said, &#8220;Using guava leaves as a natural preservative replaces toxic chemicals and can be easily implemented at a local level involving local people; directly allowing for the safe transport of fruits to the local market without any residues being dangerous for the consumer and the farmers.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Elsevier Foundation has awarded more than 100 grants to non-profit organizations that focus their work on innovations in <a href=\"https:\/\/techlekh.com\/category\/health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">health<\/a> information, diversity in Science, Technology &amp; Mathematics (STM), research in developing countries and technology for development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Editor&#8217;s Recommendations<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techlekh.com\/nepal-flying-labs-auvsi-xcellence-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nepal Flying Labs Among Winners of the First Humanitarian AUVSI XCELLENCE Award<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techlekh.com\/nepali-wins-young-economist-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nepali-American wins Globally Acclaimed Young-Economist Award<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techlekh.com\/nepali-entrepreneur-wins-facebook-social-entrepreneurship-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nepali Entrepreneur Wins Facebook Social Entrepreneurship Award<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project of Prajwal Rajbhandari, President of the Research Institute for Biosciences &amp; Biotechnology in\u00a0Nepal came in first for the Elsevier Foundation\u00a0Green and Sustainable Chemistry Challenge.
