In the past few decades, adulteration of food has become one of the
serious problems. Consumption of adulterated food causes serious diseases
like cancer, diarrhoea, asthma, ulcers, etc. Majority of fats, oils and butter are
paraffin wax, castor oil and hydrocarbons. Red chilli powder is mixed with brick
powder and pepper is mixed with dried papaya seeds. These adulterants can
be easily identified by simple chemical tests.
Several agencies have been set up by the Government of India to
remove adulterants from food stuffs.
