ABSTRACT

Introduction: The aim of the current research was to assess the quality of food products for the various adulterants that are commonly and deliberately added to increase the bulk in quantity or to gain profit by the vendors or to ruin the health of the people. The objective of the study was to test the adulterants in the different samples of milk and food products and approve the quality. A standard food adulteration kit manufactured by Nice Chemicals Pvt. Ltd, Cochin, India was used to carry out the quality assessment on various samples obtained. Methods: A standard food adulteration kit was obtained from Nice Chemicals Pvt. Ltd, Cochin, and India. Single samples of different food stuffs and are subjected to quality tests. Results and Discussion: All the samples are found to be negative for the various adulterants that are commonly and deliberately added to increase the bulk in quantity. Food products such as Oil, Ghee, Sugar, Rice, Maida & Atta, Dhal, Black pepper, Turmeric powder, Chilli Powder, Common salt & Iodized salt are found to be free from Adulteration as shown in the figures 1,2,3,4. Honey, Cloves, & Coffee powder are found to be adulterated as shown in the figures 1,2,3,4. Though we did not find any adulterants in the branded spices and food product, we need to be very cautious and educate the society regarding the various adulterants that are being added. Conclusion: Loose samples or branded food spices and products must be tested preliminarily to detect various adulterants that are commonly found deliberately in various household condiments and spices. The methodology acquired for the detection of such adulterants is interesting and easy which can be assessed by educated household members. Educated people must bring awareness regarding quality assessment of food products in the society for its betterment.
