Abstract:
The present work contains the matters regarding food adulteration types, causes of adulteration and its health problems with specific reference to intentional, accidental and natural food adulteration and adulteration control approaches. Adulteration in food has been a concern since the beginning of civilization, as it not only decreases the quality of food products but also results in a number of ill effects on health. The adulterated food bears or contains any “poisonous or deleterious substance” which may render it injurious to health. Food can be adulterated intentionally and accidentally. Legal enforcement is also taken by government to prevent food adulteration. Authentic testing of food and adulterant detection of various food products is required for value assessment and to assure consumer protection against fraudulent activities. Through this paper, intend to compile different types of adulterations made in different food items, the health risks imposed by these adulterants have even been classified as toxic, carcinogens or cancer causing substances. Usage of new technologies like Genetically Managed, Nano-tech foods, functional foods are very much profitable and helpful for our food processing and food production. FSSAI about food safety and regulation have ensured the development of various techniques like physical, biochemical/ immunological and molecular techniques, for adulterant detection in food.
