Here is a list of some tests you can do today at home.
Common adulterants
Refrigerate coconut oil for 30 minutes. Coconut oil freezes; any other adulterant will remain on top as a separate layer.
Mix a small amount of milk and water and shake it vigorously, if adulterated with detergents, the solution will form lather.
Cut a piece of potato and sprinkle salt on it. Wait for a minute and add two drops of lemon juice to it. If it is iodised salt, blue colour will develop.
Move a magnet through your flour, tea powder to check for iron fillings.
Identify fungus in food grains by soaking them in salt solution. The fungus floats while the grains settle. Similarly papaya seeds float, whereas pepper sinks.
When burned in a small spoon, asafoetida burns like camphor, if adulterated it will not produce a bright flame.
