Description

Ensure the health and safety of your family with the Anveshan Ghee Purity Test Kit. While ghee is a symbol of care in every meal, many products today are secretly mixed with unhealthy adulterants like vegetable fats, vanaspati, or starch.
Our kit eliminates the guesswork, allowing you to spot adulteration quickly and safely at home without needing any technical knowledge or lab visits.

Test 1: Detection of Vegetable Fat or Vanaspati

This test uses a specific chemical reaction where furfural and hydrochloric acid develop a characteristic rose-red colour if vanaspati or vegetable fats are present.

Quick Procedure:

  1. Prepare: Fully melt your ghee sample until it is liquid.
  2. Add: Pipette 0.5 ml of melted ghee into the "Test 1" vial and add 0.5 ml of Acid Reagent 1.
  3. Mix: Close the cap and shake vigorously for 2 minutes.
  4. Settle: Allow the vial to settle until two layers form.

Interpreting Results:

  • Positive Result: A distinct pink or rose-red colour appears in the lower acidic layer.
  • Negative Result: The acidic layer remains clear or pale.
  • Confirmation: Add 0.5 ml of water and shake again. If the rose-red colour persists, the sample is confirmed adulterated.

Test 2: Detection of Starch Adulteration

Starch is often added to ghee to artificially increase its thickness and texture. This test identifies starch through its reaction with iodine, which produces a blue-black complex.

Quick Procedure:

  1. Add: Place 0.5 ml of completely melted ghee into the "Test 2" vial.
  2. Reagent: Add a few drops of Reagent 2.
  3. Mix: Stir, close the cap, and shake for 1 minute.

Interpreting Results:

  • Positive Result: A blue-black colour develops.
  • Negative Result: The sample remains clear with only a slight iodine tint.

Essential Safety Precautions
  • Handle with Care: Acid Reagent 1 is highly corrosive. Always wear the provided protective gloves and avoid contact with eyes or skin.
  • Spillage: If contact occurs, rinse immediately under running water for at least 20 minutes.
  • Disposal: After testing, dilute the liquid with 10–15 times its volume of water before disposing of it slowly under running water.
  • Storage: Keep all kit components securely away from children.
