Heavy Metal Contamination of Spices
Abstract: The study investigates heavy metal contamination in 100 turmeric powder samples from Mathura markets. Around 30% of the samples were adulterated, particularly with lead and chromium exceeding permissible limits. Adulteration poses significant health risks, emphasizing the need for strict quality control and consumer awareness regarding unpackaged or loose spices.
