| Abstract: |
Food adulteration can pose a serious risk to public health. Getting food tested in laboratories may not be feasible every time as it entails investment of time, effort and money. The good news is that in many cases sensory evaluation quick tests can help in determining whether or not the food product is adulterated. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has given some simple tests to detect adulteration in food. Chilli powder is usually adulterated with brick powder, salt powder and talcum powder. |
