PROCEDURE
RESULT

Anything which is consumed directly or indirectly for

the sustenance of body is called food. Water and
medicines are of course not considered as food. The
mixing of any substance with a food item is called
adulteration. The substance which is used to adulterate
the food stuff is called an adulterant. An adulterant
makes food stuff inferior. For example, water with milk
is adulteration. Water makes the milk inferior in
quality.
Adulteration is associated with the profit making in
food business. So, adulterants are substances of cheap
quality and often are dangerous to our health.
Detection and estimation of different adulterants is a
challenging job for chemist. The aim of this project is
to Study Some of Common Adulterants Used to
adulterate some common food stuff. Collect the
samples from different sources and find the presence
of the adulterants in them.

Selection
of
wholesome
and
nonadulterated food is essential for daily life to
make sure that such foods do not cause any
health hazard. It is not possible to ensure
wholesome food only on visual examination
when the toxic contaminants are present in
ppm level. However, visual examination of
the food before purchase makes sure to
ensure absence of insects, visual fungus,
foreign matters etc. Therefore, due care
take by the consumer at the time of
purchase of food after thoroughly examining
can be of great help. Secondly, label
declaration on packed food is very
important for knowing the ingredients and
nutritional value. It also helps in checking
the freshness of the food and period of best
before use. The consumer should avoid
taking food from an unhygienic place and
food being prepared under unhygienic
conditions. Such types of food may cause
various diseases. Consumption of cut fruit
being sold in unhygienic conditions should

be avoided. It is always better to buy

certified food from reputed shop.
