information on simple method of spotting the adulteration in foodstuffs

Answer 1

With the alarming rate at which adulteration of food is increasing in India, it is not an exaggeration to say that almost nothing that we eat/drink daily is safe for our health. And what is further astonishing is that all the food items that I am referring to, make an essential part of our daily balanced diet.

Now while we cannot be really sure of when this flourishing business of food adulteration will reach its dead-end, it falls upon us to keep the safety of our health intact. And one of the most potential ways we can do so is by performing simple tests to see whether or not the food item is fit for consumption.

Answer 2

Simple methods of spotting the arbitration in food steps as given below:

We can detect food adulterants by using simple methods. In everyday life, we are using so many things in that milk is the common food so we can detect adulterants in milk by using small methods.

Milk:

If the milk turns yellow color when we heated, and leaves a soapy kind of layer on top gives a bitter taste. It is the sign of an adulterant food that means milk is spoiled.

Turmeric powder:

This is also a common food when we added a few drops of HCl to this powder it will turn into pink, purple or violet color this confirms adulterants.

So the turmeric powder is spoiled.
