The document discusses food hygiene, fortification, and adulteration, outlining measures to ensure food safety and improve dietary quality. It details various toxicants associated with different foods and the methods for preventing foodborne illnesses, including proper processing and storage techniques. Additionally, it poses questions related to food standards and the effects of specific food toxins.

1. FOOD
ADULTERATION
DR. SUNAYANA
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR

2. INTRODUCTION
Food hygiene-
“Necessary measures to ensure the
safety of food from production to
consumption.”

3. FOOD FORTIFICATION
“Process whereby nutrients are added
to foods to maintain or improve the
quality of diet of a group, a community ,
or a population”

5.  Ex.
1.Common salt- Twin fortification
2.Vanaspati Ghee - Vit A & D
3.Wheat flour- Groundnut flour, lysine
4.Fluoridation of water

6. FOOD ADULTERATION
“Process of mixing, substitution, concealing
the quality, putting up decomposed foods for
sale, misbranding or giving false labels & addition
of toxicants.”

7. FOOD STANDARDS
PFA std
AGMARK std
Codex alimentarius
commission

8. Have you ever
seen people like
this???

9. NEUROLATHYRISM
Lathyrus Sativum

10. TOXIN
BOAA
(BETA OXALYL AMINO-ALANINE)

12. PREVENTION
•Steeping method
•Parboiling
•Vit C prophylaxis
•Banning

13. Do u have
any idea
about the
benefits of
this simple
procedure??
?

14. Ascites

15. Jhun-jhunia

16. ENDEMIC ASCITES
• Toxin: Pyrroli-zidine
•Millets adulterated wth
Crotalaria seeds. (Jhunjhunia)
• Hepatotoxic

17. PREVENTION
• Sieving
• Filteration

19. EPIDEMIC DROPSY
Mustard oil
Toxin
Sanguinarine
Argemone Mexicana

20. PREVENTION
•De-weed before mixing wth oil
•Check
Using Nitric acid
chromatography test

22. AFLATOXICOSIS
• Storage fungus
• Stored raw food
(Grains,rice,nuts)
• Toxin: Aflatoxin
• C/f: Hepatotoxicity, cirrhosis

23. PREVENTION
• Ventilate
• Reduce the moisture

24. ERGOTISM
• Plant / field fungus
•Toxin : Ergot alkaloid
•G/i toxicity
• Prevention- float in 20% salt
solution

27. Q/A

28. 1.What is food fortification
2.Food adulteration
3.What is the full form of FSSAI
4.Twin fortified salt means??
5. Neurolathyrism is caused by
6.Toxin in lathyrus sativum?
7. Adulteration of mustard oil with
8. Endemic ascites is caused by?
9. Storage fungus?
10. Field fungus?
