Jhansi If you are also fond of eating desi ghee, then be careful. These days the business of adulterated ghee in the name of Asli is booming. Adulterated ghee, which looks like real ghee, is also sold in tin containers and open without labeling. In such a situation, people should be very careful while buying ghee.
Experts say that to make adulterated indigenous ghee, 40 percent of the refined oil and 60 percent of the fortune is added to the vegetation. Apart from this boiled potatoes and bitumen dye are also used. Adulterated ghee is prepared from the Fortune vegetable itself as it is granulated. To improve quality, 5 to 10 percent of real native ghee is also added. The native ghee brings a hardness with flavor. One quintal of prepared adulterated goods is also added with a scent of 10 grams of ghee. Then heat to a certain temperature. Its machine is packed.

Here's how to check
To identify desi ghee, rub your hand upside down. If there is a grain in the ghee, then understand that it is fake. Real ghee gets absorbed by applying on hand. This is the easiest way of identification.
Add four to five drops of iodine to a spoonful of ghee. If the color turns blue, there is a mixture of boiled potatoes inside the ghee.
Mix one teaspoon of hydrochloric acid and a pinch of sugar in one teaspoon of ghee. If the color of ghee turns red then there is the adulteration of Dalda.
Rub some ghee in your hands. Smell it after about 15 minutes, if the scent stops, assume that it is adulterated ghee.
Samples of ghee are also taken by raiding on behalf of the department. At the same time, if a person wants to give information regarding adulteration, then he can come to the office and give information on any workday. - Narendra Kumar, Admitted Officer in charge.
