In recent years, with the growing complexity of global food supply chains and trade, food fraud, including adulteration of high value foods with cheaper substitutes, has become an increasingly important issue. A metabolomics approach can be applied to discover biomarkers that can be used to trace food adulteration. A study was undertaken to discover novel, potential biomarkers for the rapid det...

The adulteration of milk via the addition of low molecular weight compounds, such as melamine for economically motivated fraud, is a well-known concern1. Methods for adulteration detection have been examined extensively using, amongst other tools, LC/MS techniques. Current methods tend to focus on small molecule adulteration; however, large molecule adulteration with other animal or plant prote...

Adulteration of edible oils has attracted attention from more researchers and consumers in recent years. Complex multispecies adulteration is a commonly used strategy to mask the traditional adulteration detection methods. Most of the researchers were only concerned about single targeted adulterants, however, it was difficult to identify complex multispecies adulteration or untargeted adulteran...

This paper presents the review on different types of milk adulteration based upon conventional method. A straight forward and quick strategy for measurement of milk adulteration has been developed using mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometers. Milk samples was purchased from local supermarkets and spiked with tap water, hydrogen peroxide, glucose, urea and formaldehyde in different concentrations in m...

The study focused on the machine learning analysis approaches to identify the adulteration of 9 kinds of edible oil qualitatively and answered the following three questions: Is the oil sample adulterant? How does it constitute? What is the main ingredient of the adulteration oil? After extracting the highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) data on triglyceride from 370 oil samples, we appl...

Adulteration of diesel with kerosene is common malpractice since kerosene is cheaper than diesel. Such adulteration results in increased pollution, reduced lifetime of components, decrease in engine or machine performance etc. This paper presents a simple, extrinsic intensity modulated fiber optic sensor for determining adulteration of diesel by kerosene. The sensing principle is based on varia...

as a subsidiary standard in examining sour milk for purity. Hawley (1918) in his report on the Madras Food Adulteration Act suggests a standard of 0.5 per cent, nitrogen as a minimum standard in estimating purity of milk or sophistication by addition of water. The following examinations have been carried out in the Bengal Public Health Laboratory in order to see how far this suggestion would ap...

The adulteration and Substitution of the herbal drugs is the burning problem in herbal industry and it has caused a major treat in the research on commercial natural products. The deforestation and extinction of many species and incorrect identification of many plants has resulted in adulteration and substitution of raw drugs. The concept of substitution prevailed ages back and in Ayurveda we c...

The necessity for testing human milk destined for milk banks in order to eliminate specimens which have been adulterated with water or cow's milk has been widely recognized since the introduction of such banks in 1910 (Mackintosh, 1947). In some centres, however, no tests for adulteration seem to be used, in spite of the fact that the mothers providing milk for these banks are not supervised be...
