Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Food is one of the basic needs for every living being and is very important aspect for life. But now a day’s foods are affected by different adulterants. Adulteration is a substance which reduces the vital importance of food. Adulterants like metanil yellow (an artificial color) is used to intensify the color of the turmeric powder also adulterants like chalk powder, brick powder and toxic substances are added to gain profit and to lower the cost so as to compete with the market. Such adulterants can lead to anemia, paralysis, brain damage, stomach disorders and also cancer. Spices may also be contaminated because of conditions under which they are cultivated and harvested. Contaminated spices have been reported to cause certain food-borne illnesses and spoilage.
