Abstract

Detection of Adulteration in Tomato Ketchup prepared with commonly used adulterants are pumpkin, ash gourd. sweet potatoes, carrot, papaya and apple pomace was carried out using histological characteristics and staining techniques. Camera Lucida drawings of the samples of tomato ketchup containing the various adulterants showed thot adulterants like pumpkin, ,sweet potatoes ond carrots could be detected on the basis of their cell structures which are distinctly different than those of tomatoes. Staining, wlth iodine further confirmed the presence of these adulterants. Presence of apple pulp could be detected by staining with methylene blue. Detection of ash gourd and papaya was, however, not possible with these techniques.
