To Study Adulteration in Food
The Objective of this project is to study some of the
common food adulterants present in different food stuffs
Adulteration in food is normally present in its most crude form;
prohibited substances are either added or partly or wholly substituted.
Normally the contamination/adulteration in food is done either for financial
gain or due to carelessness and lack in proper hygienic condition of processing,
storing, transportation and marketing. This ultimately results that the
consumer is either cheated or often become victim of diseases. Such types of
adulteration are quite common in developing countries or backward countries.
It is equally important for the consumer to know the common adulterants and
their effect on health.
To detect the presence of adulterants in fat, oil and butter.
REQUIREMENTS
Test-tube, acetic anhydride, conc. H2SO4, acetic acid, conc. HNO3.
PROCEDURE
Common adulterants present in ghee and oil are paraffin wax, hydrocarbons, dyes and argemone oil. These are detected as follows :
(i) Adulteration of paraffin wax and hydrocarbon in vegetable ghee
Heat small amount of vegetable ghee with acetic anhydride. Droplets of oil floating on the surface of unused acetic anhydride indicates the presence of wax or hydrocarbons.
(ii) Adulteration of dyes in fat
Heat 1mL of fat with a mixture of 1mL of conc. sulphuric acid and 4mL of acetic acid. Appearance of pink or red colour indicates presence of dye in fat.
(iii) Adulteration of argemone oil in edible oils
To small amount of oil in a test-tube, add few drops of conc. HNO3 and shake. Appearance of red colour in the acid layer indicates presence of argemone oil.

common adultrants present in turmaric powder or any other powdered are red coloured lead salts, yellow lead salts and dried papaya seeds
respectively. They are detected as follows :
(i) Adulteration of red lead salts in chilli powder
To a sample of chilli powder, add dil. HNO3. Filter the solution and
add 2 drops of potassium iodide solution to the filtrate. Yellow ppt.
indicates the presence of lead salts in chilli powder.
(ii) Adulteration of yellow lead salts to turmeric powder
To a sample of turmeric powder add conc. HCl. Appearance of
magenta colour shows the presence of yellow oxides of lead in
turmeric powder.
(iii) Adulteration of brick powder in red chilli powder
Add small amount of given red chilli powder in beaker containing
water. Brick powder settles at the bottom while pure chilli powder
floats over water.
(iv) Adulteration of dried papaya seeds in pepper
Add small amount of sample of pepper to a beaker containing water
and stir with a glass rod. Dried papaya seeds being lighter float over
water while pure pepper settles at the bottom.
