Several studies have revealed the genetic material is specifically transformed employing genetic engineering tools develop genetically modified organisms (GMOs) including microorganisms. such as bacteria and yeast, plants, insects, fish, and mammals excluding human [1-4]. It has been noticed that GMOs are recognized to be the major source to yield genetically modified foods concomitant with advanced scientific applications, and producing certain other non-food products.
