Abstract:
Food adulteration detection is the key to food quality and it can be helped by modern analytical techniques. Mass spectrometry is very powerful analytical and it is particularly so when it is combined with other separation techniques like liquid or gas chromatograph because of combination of separation and detection powers. Present review focus on application of mass spectrometry in adulteration detection in food products. It was fond at the end of review that almost any conceivable adulteration can be detected by mass spectrometry when used as detection method along with chromatographic separation techniques and mass spectrometry alone without any pre separation techniques is also capable of adulteration detection.
