Description |
Spices being low volume high value commodities are reported to be adulterated with plant based as well as synthetic adulterants. Processed foods including spices such as spice powders often result in the loss of any morphological diagnostic features of the species, increasing the possibility of fraudulent substitutions or adulteration. The conventional analytical tools are inefficient in this regard.DNA barcoding is put into use to detect the plant based adulterants in traded spices such as black pepper powder, cinnamon and turmeric at Indian Institute of Spices Research |
