  It is tough these days to find quality products in this fast-moving world. We move on the clock and buy packaged goods from the shelves of the supermarket. Hence, the mass production and some frauds sitting amongst us interfere with the products we purchase and we end up consuming those products with almost zero nutritional value. This happens most of the time with food products. And it is called the adulteration in food items or better known as food Adulteration.  Food adulteration is the deliberate lowering of the quality of food provided for sale, either by the addition or substitution of inferior substances, or the omission of a valuable element. Food adulteration is caused by the addition of preservatives or undesired chemicals to food items in order to make them look more appealing or stay longer on shop shelves. Going more in-depth, adulteration in food items , according to the definition, is the act or process of intentionally or willingly degrading the quality of food items
