Food Adulteration : How To find Adulteration in Masala Powders?
A recent TV advertisement of coconut oil brand offers Rs 50,000/- to customers if anyone prove adulteration in their oil brand. So the branding of products become more powerful where they have to make trust among the new customers that food products are without any adulteration.
Masala manufacturers in Kerala, point out that some of the greedy sellers focus more in the adulteration of masala curry powder products which are less identifiable with naked eyes.
How To Find Adulteration In Masala Powders? Food colours, starch, brick powder, coloured sawdust are mostly added impurities to the spice powders. Here are some of the most common food adulteration products and the easy way to detect adulteration in masala powders.
1. Chilli Powder : Most adulterated and most commonly used spice powder in kitchen is chilli powder. Red brick powder and saw dust are mainly added as impurity to increase the quantity of the spice powder packet. To identify the adulteration in chilli powder add a teaspoon of chilli powder to a glass of water and swirl it. A red swirl of colour is dispel by adulterated chilli powder.
2. Turmeric Powder : Adulterant in turmeric powder, lead chromate provide a bright yellow colour and they are insoluble in water. We believe that to remove the poison of vegetables or fruits it should be immersed in turmeric water, but turmeric powder in market itself is harmful with lead chromate. To identify the presence of lead chromate , mix a spoon of turmeric powder with water. If adulterated it will leak streaks of water soluble colours.
3. Masala Powders :Â Even horse dung is used for increasing the quantity of masala powders. When Indian spice powders of premium quality are exported to other countries we are forced to consume the unhealthy waste products for high price with glamorous media advertising. Immerse spice powders in water, the pure masala powders will settle down and the remaining will float over the surface.

We all had the spice products at home, when we are interested in agriculture and hardwork. The new life style of purchasing and easy living force us to be the primary customers of all these adulterated food products.
