What are some of the shocking food adulteration cases in India?
First comes.. Synthetic milk manufacturing!the process involves using urea, sodium sulfate, glucose or maltose.. in general!The ingredients that go in to the making of synthetic milk are calculated in such a way that the fat and SNF percentage is similar to milk. Hence it easily passes the platform tests carried out at the village level dairy co-operative society (fat and lactometer reading etc.) but from the health point of view of the consumers, it is highly dangerous. The taste is highly objectionable.According to the Delhi Health department estimates, 100,000 litres of synthetic milk and 30 tonnes of thickened milk (khoya) is being manufactured everyday in the city. The Prevention of Food Adulteration department of the Delhi government found , in a single day of raids, that 40 out of 229 samples of milk sold in the city was adulterated by chalk, urea, soap and other whiteners. \There are many kids who fell sick after having the synthetic milk!and synthetic milk is not like water mixed with natural milk for dilution. it is a factory made product.!- cross check the values before presentationThe Technology of Synthetic Milk - article by menaka gandhiA health hazard to human lives - this has good history of synthetic milk in India.(though not relevant.. a person has invented a equipment. to detect the level adulteration in milk .. which common man can access.. to check the quality of milk supplied to your home)second ofcourse I believe is fruits ripening. techniques..!Think mangoes! all the major cities kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi,, have a big market of carbide ripened mangoes.!and bananas they use huge chemicals to turn them yellow.Why you should never set fire to a box of mangoes Calcium carbide used for ripening mangoes in Delhi Next time you buy mangoes, think of gas welding chemical HC directive on chemical ripening of fruits

How do you check for the presence of adulterants in food products in daily household?
About the only tests a householder can do are visual, scent, taste, and solubility. You can sometimes see when powdered products like spices have been mixed with fillers to make it seem like there is more spice than there is. Sometimes things that should dissolve don’t dissolve properly. Sometimes you can smell the adulturants, sometimes you can taste them, like when you get chicory in coffee.Other than that you need the ability to do chemical testing because things like glycol in wine (scandal 1985, 1986) or melamine in baby formulas (scandal 2008) are not easily detected by simple tests.
