What is Adulterant?
❥The substances that lower the quality of food, when added to it, are called adulterants. It is a substance found within other food substances that hamper the natural quality of the food. The adulterant may be present in any form and in any quantity. Adulterants are mostly harmful and pose the ability to lower the potency of the product. Even if the adulterant is not harmful, it reduces the nutritional value of the food to a greater extent. Some adulterants are also identified as carcinogenic or lethal when exposed to them for a longer period. Different types of adulterants are used to adulterate different types of food.
