Question

Give one/two example of food adulturation.

Answer in Brief

Solution

Here are two examples of food adulteration:

  1. Adding water to milk increases its volume, diluting it and lowering its nutritional content. In rare situations, toxic chemicals such as detergent or urea may be added to milk to imitate the appearance and consistency of real milk.
  2. To increase the yellow color, turmeric powder is mixed with a hazardous chemical called lead chromate. This not only diminishes the spice's purity and quality, but also puts the health of consumers at danger.
