Abstract

Food is one among the basic needs for every living being. Food for human consumption should be in its possible purest form without adulterants and contaminants.  The present study focuses on analyzing few selected food items purchased from local grocery stores located in the twin cities of Secunderabad and Hyderabad, Telangana. The extent of different adulterant present in the food items were, edible oil samples, argemone oil (30%), prohibited color (15%), mineral oil (20%), dyes in fat (15%) and castor oil (0%).  20% of ghee samples tested positive for vanaspathi and were negative for mashed potatoes and paraffin wax (0%).  Coconut oil tested negative both for any other oil (0%) and turbidity (0%). None of the honey samples tested positive for water (0%). All the jaggery samples tested were negative for sodium bicarbonate (0%). Similar results were obtained in case of curd samples (negative for dalda (0%)). 55% of the common salt samples tested positive for the presence of impurities.
从本港食杂店购入的若干食物中所含食物掺假物的分析
食物是每个生物的基本需求之一。供人类食用的食品应尽可能以最纯净的形式存在,不含掺杂物和污染物。本研究的重点是分析从位于特伦加纳邦塞昆德拉巴德和海得拉巴双城的当地杂货店购买的少数精选食品。食品中掺假的程度分别为:食用油样本、argemone油(30%)、违禁色素(15%)、矿物油(20%)、脂肪中的染料(15%)及蓖麻油(0%)。20%的酥油样品对vanaspathi呈阳性,对土豆泥和石蜡呈阴性(0%)。椰子油对任何其他油(0%)和浊度(0%)的检测均为阴性。所有蜂蜜样本均未检测出水阳性(0%)。所有的粗糖样品检测碳酸氢钠均为阴性(0%)。凝乳样品也得到了类似的结果(dalda阴性(0%))。55%的普通食盐样品被检测出含有杂质。
