WATCH AND EAT THE THINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( FOOD ADULTRATION )
FOOD ADULTERATION IN DIWALI .
THE
RATE OF FOOD ADULTERATION HAS TREMENDOUSLY INCREASED IN THE FESTIVE
SEASONS . WE GET IN EVERY 5 FOOD ITEMS 1 AS ADULTERATED , DUE TO WHICH
THE HUMAN HEALTH GETS DISTURBED AND THE ILLNESS BEGINS TO SPREAD ON A
LARGE SCALE . SOME ADULTERATION ARE AS FOLLOWS - ADDING TISSUE PAPER
TO THE MILK PRODUCTS ( RABDI , BASUNDI ) ETC , ADDING STARCH IN THE
SWEETS AND MIXING PALM OIL IN OUR COOKING OIL AND ADDING VANASPATI GHEE
IN THE PURE GHEE . THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN WE BUY FOOD FROM OUTSIDE IN
THE FESTIVE SEASONS .
WE CAN TRACE THIS ADULTERATION BY SEVERAL METHODS THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS-
1)
IN OIL - TESTING ADULTERATION IN OIL BY TAKING SOME AMOUNT OF OIL IN A
TEST TUBE AND ADDING FEW DROPS OF NITRIC ACID IF ADULTERATION IS DONE BY
USING PALM OIL THEN IT WILL TURN INTO REDDISH BROWN COLOR .
2)
IN MILK - TAKING SOME DROPS OF MILK IN A TEST TUBE AND ADDING FEW
DROPS OF IODINE SOLUTION IF BLUE COLOR APPEARS THEN THE MILK IS
ADULTERATED .
3)
SWEETS - TAKING HYDROCHLORIC ACID AND RUBBING ON THE TOP OF SWEETS . IF
ADULTERATED WITH STARCH OR IMPROPER COLOR THEN IT WILL TURN RED .
4)IN
GHEE - WHETHER VANASPATI GHEE IS ADDED TO THE PURE GHEE THEN WE COME TO
KNOW BY ADDING 0.1 ml OF FURFURAL ACID WITH 10 ml OF HCL ( HYDROCHLORIC
ACID ) AND GHEE , IF CRIMSON COLOR TURNS UP THEN IT IS ADULTERATED .
YOU
SHOULD ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOUR HEALTH WHILE BUYING SNACKS IN DIWALI ,
BECAUSE THEY CAN HARM YOU SEVERELY .THEN PLEASE EAT HOMEMADE THINGS AND
AVOID EATING OUTSIDE THINGS AND JUNK FOOD .
