  AIM

 INTRODUCTION
Adulteration in food is normally present in its most crude
form; prohibited substances are either added or partly or wholly
substituted. Normally the contamination/adulteration in food is
done either for financial gain or due to carelessness and lack in
proper hygienic condition of processing, storing, transportation and
marketing. Such types of adulteration are quite common in
developing countries or backward countries. It is equally important
for the consumer to know the common adulterants and their effect
on health.

THEORY
The increasing number of food producers and the outstanding
amount of import foodstuffs enables the producers to mislead and
cheat consumers. To differentiate those who take advantage of legal
rules from the ones who commit food adulteration is very difficult.
The consciousness of consumers would be crucial. Ignorance and
unfair market behavior may endanger consumer health and
misleading can lead to poisoning. So we need simple screening tests
for their detection. Consumption of adulterated food causes
serious diseases like cancer, diarrhoea, asthma, ulcers.
AGMARK - acronym for agricultural marketing....this organization
certifies food products for their quality. Its objective is to promote
the Grading and Standardization of agricultural and allied
commodities.
