2. INTRODUCTION
Food Adulteration: In our daily life there are so many unhygienic and contaminated things for our health. Most of our things our
contaminated. Even the food, which we eat, is adulterated. Now a question arises that what is adulteration? The answer is that the
deliberate contamination of food material with low quality, cheap and non-edible or toxic substances is called food adulteration. The
substance, which lowers or degrades the quality of food material, is called an adulterant. Adulteration brings a lot of easy money for the
traders, but it may spoil many lives. Food adulteration can lead to slow poisoning and various kinds of diseases, which can even result in
death. Adulteration makes the food items used in our daily life unsafe and unhygienic for use. An easy example of food adulteration is
vanaspati ghee in desi ghee. The traders use it for their economic benefit without thinking about its effect on the common population of
our country, which consumes it. For preventing it our government has made some certain commissions and laws. Still it prevails in our
country on large scale. Adulteration should be checked properly in common food items so as to save people from its bad effects.
Adulteration is the government and we for the common people therefore something should do a type of curse against it.
4. 4 DIFFERENTTYPES OFFOODADULTERATIONAND ITS
HARMFULEFFECTS
1. Milk Adulteration:
In India, which is the land of cows, large quantities of milk are adulterated. Milk adulteration
involves adding water to milk and removing the beneficial fats from milk. Often soya milk, starch, groundnut
milk, and wheat flour are added to milk. This makes the milk less nutritious and it results in milk being useless
for the consumer.
2. Adulteration of Fats and Oils:
It is easy to adulterate oils and fats. But it is difficult to detect such adulteration. Ghee is often
mixed with hydrogenated oils and animal fats. Synthetic colours and flavours are added to other fats to
make them appear like ghee.
3. Food Grain Adulteration:
Food grain adulteration involves mixing sand or crushed stones to increase the weight of food
grains. Cereal grains and pulses are mixed with plastic beads that resemble grains in colour and size. Very
often, water is also sprayed on grains to increase the weight.
5. 4. Other Adulterations:
Chili powder is often mixed with brick powder, while tea leaves are often mixed with used tea leaves.
These adulterations are very harmful to the consumer and they should be addressed by consumer organizations
and consumers seriously.

Selection of wholesale and non-adulterated food is essential for daily life to make sure that such food does not
cause any health hazards. It is not possible to ensure wholesale food only on visual examination when the toxic
contaminants are present in ppm level.

be of great help.

also helps in checking the freshness of food and the period of best before use.
