The increasing number of food producers and the outstanding amount
of import foodstuffs enables the producers to mislead and cheat consumers.
To differentiate those who take advantage of legal rules from the ones who
commit food adulteration is very difficult. The consciousness of consumers
would be crucial. Ignorance and unfair market behavior may endanger
consumer health and misleading can lead to poisoning. So we need simple
screening tests for their detection.
In the past few decades, adulteration of food has become one of the
serious problems. Consumption of adulterated food causes serious diseases
like cancer, diarrhoea, asthma, ulcers, etc. Majority of fats, oils and butter are
paraffin wax, castor oil and hydrocarbons. Red chilli powder is mixed with brick
powder and pepper is mixed with dried papaya seeds. These adulterants can
be easily identified by simple chemical tests.
Welcome to the 38th edition of The Authentication Times.
We hope you are doing well, staying healthy, and, most importantly, taking care of
your loved ones. The pandemic COVID-19 is affecting all of us and we can only face it all together. Letâs all work together to remain calm, be positive and fight this outbreak.
Firstly, we request all stakeholders to #Stayhome and practice social distancing. While there are various myths and rumors are spreading, we would suggest adhering to some practices while forwarding these messages at social media. Various other concerns are increasing among the public including the news of getting fake personal protection equipmentâs, including sanitizers & masks. Witnessing a scarcity of sanitizers and
face masks since the COVID-19 outbreak, Counterfeiters and profiteers have offered the bogus public treatments and unfounded advice. These are ideal conditions for
criminals to capitalize on peopleâs fears by advertising falsified therapies and vaccines and spreading rumors of potential cures. In this challenging situation, being vigilant is the most important thing (Please refer our special page on COVID-19 & counterfeiting).
Secondly, referring to current issue, we are highlighting the issue of âFood & Beverages Safety & Quality â An overview on recent regulation, product recall, authentication & traceabilityâ. Apart from it, you will also find various authentication & traceability initiative various countries are adopting in combating illicit trade, smuggling and counterfeiting. This is a positive step and we hope more and more countries will come together in fighting illicit trade.
We hope you will find this issue informative and interesting and as always, we look
forward to receiving your feedback. If you have any news, contributions or comments for the editorial team, please feel free to email us at info@aspaglobal.com

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

INTRODUCTION
Food is one of the basic necessities for sustenance of life. Pure,
fresh and healthy diet is most essential for the health of the
people. It is no wonder to say that community health is national
wealth.
Adulteration of food-stuffs was so rampant, widespread and
persistent that nothing short of a somewhat drastic remedy in
the form of a comprehensive legislation became the need of the
hour.
] To check this kind of anti-social evil a concerted and
determined onslaught was launched by the Government by
introduction of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Bill in the
Parliament to herald an era of much needed hope and relief for
the consumers at large.
About the middle of the 19th cent. chemical and microscopal
knowledge had reached the stage that food substances could be
analyzed, and the subject of food adulteration began to be
studied from the standpoint of the rights and welfare of the
consumer.
In 1860 the first food law framed in the interest of the purchaser
was passed. That law, lacking sufficient means of enforcement,
7. NIKHIL DWIVEDI XII(SCIENCE)
2016-17
Page 7 of 23
CHEMISRTY PROJECT FILE
remained largely ineffective until 1872, when administrative
officials were appointed and penalties for violation provided. In
the United States the federal Food and Drug Act of 1906 was the
result of a long and stormy campaign led by Dr. Harvey
Washington Wiley.
This law defined food adulteration and the misbranding of
products; it provided regulations covering the interstate
movement of food and penalties for violations.
The 1906 act was superseded in 1938 by the more rigorous
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act administered since 1940 by the
Food and Drug Administration (now within the Dept. of Health
and Human Services).
The FDA is charged with enforcing truthful and informative
labeling of essential commodities, maintaining staff laboratories,
and formulating definitions and standards promoting fair dealing
in the interests of the consumer.
The 1938 act broadened the definitions of adulteration,
misbranding, and lack of informative labeling; it provided for
factory inspections; and it increased the penalties for violations.
It was amended in 1958 and 1962 to define and regulate food
additives and food coloring.
The federal law controls traffic from one state to another and is
supplemented by local regulations that require food handlers to
be licensed, thereby discouraging the spread of disease; it

provides for the inspection by health officers of meat and other
foods, of restaurants, and of dairies and cold storage methods.
Imported goods that violate the provisions of the act may be
denied admittance to the United States and if not removed
within a given time may be destroyed.
STATEMENT OF OBJECTSANDREASONS
Laws existed in a number of States in India for the
prevention of adulteration of food- stuffs, but they lacked
uniformity having been passed at different times without mutual
consultation between States.
The need for Central legislation for the whole country in this
matter has been felt since 1937 when a Committee appointed
by the Central Advisory Board of Health recommended this step.
âAdulteration of food-stuffs and other goodsâ is now included in
the Concurrent List (III) in the Constitution of India. It has,
therefore, become possible for the Central Government to enact
an all India legislation on this subject. The Bill replaces all local
food adulteration laws where they exist and also applies to
those States where there are no local laws on the subject.
Among others, it provides for â

(i) a Central Food Laboratory to which food samples can be
referred to for final opinion in disputed cases (clause 4),
(ii) a Central Committee for Food Standards consisting of
representatives of Central and State Governments to advise on
matters arising from the administration of the Act (clause 3),
and
(iii) the vesting in the Central Government of the rule-making
power regarding standards of quality for the articles of food and
certain other matters (clause 22).
ACT 37 OF 1954
The Prevention of Food Adulteration Bill was passed by both
the house of Parliament and received the assent of the
President on 29th September, 1954. It came into force on Ist
June, 1955 as THE PREVENTION OF FOOD ADULTERATIONACT,
1954 (37 of 1954).

GOVERNMENTMEASURES
To check the suppliers of food from doing so, the government
has passed a stringent act which is known as preservation of
food Adulteration Act.
They has been implemented with the objective of providing
safety to human beings in the supply of food. It covers safety
from risks involved due to contamination of poisonous
elements.
The specification laid down of various foods under the
provisions of PFA Act covers minimum basic characteristics Of
the Products Below which it is deemed to be adulterated and
also covers the maximum limit of contaminant not considered
being safe for human beings beyond a certain level.

CONCLUSION
Selection of wholesome and non-adulteratedfood is essential
for daily life to make sure that such foods do not cause any
health hazard. It is not possible to ensure wholesome food only
on visual examination when the toxic contaminantsare present
in ppm level. However, visual examinationof the food before
purchase makes sure to ensure absence of insects, visual
fungus, foreign matters, etc. Therefore, due care taken by the
consumer at the time of purchase of food after thoroughly
examining can be of great help. Secondly, label declarationon
packed food is very important for knowing the ingredients and
nutritionalvalue.It also helps in checking the freshness of the
food and the period of best before use. The consumer should
avoid taking food from an unhygienicplace and food being
prepared under unhygienicconditions.Such types of food may
cause variousdiseases. Consumptionof cut fruits being sold in
unhygienicconditionsshould be avoided.It is always better to
buy certified food from reputed shops.
