Is all the food you are bringing home pure? Perhaps you may not be able to give a clear answer to this because food items are being adulterated in the market. From vegetables to milk, ghee and other things are also being adulterated and all this is just to earn a few rupees. Not only this, the mustard oil which you use considering it to be genuine, is also found to be adulterated. But if you want, you can identify mustard oil and find out whether it is genuine or full of adulteration. Just for this, you have to know about some methods. So let us know about this without any delay. You can know about it in detail in the next slides...
You can differentiate between real and fake mustard oil in these ways:-
First way
If you have brought mustard oil home, you can find out with the help of nitric acid whether this oil is genuine or adulterated. For this, first of all you have to take a test tube. Then add about five grams of mustard oil in it.
After putting mustard oil in the tube, you have to add nitric acid to it. Then you have to shake the test tube so that it all mixes. Now you have to pay attention that if it changes color, it means your mustard oil is adulterated.
Another way
To check whether mustard oil is adulterated or not, you have to take some mustard oil and keep it in the freezer for three hours. In such a situation, now notice that if a white-colored substance is seen floating on the mustard oil kept in the fridge, then understand that this oil has been adulterated.
Third way
Whether mustard oil has been adulterated or not. You can also do a rubbing test to find out. In this you have to rub mustard oil on your palm. Then note that if any other color or smell appears, then there may be a possibility of adulteration in the oil.
