Forensic Analysis of the Saffron: Rapid Authenticity Testing
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Saffron is the valuable spice of our food. It is the dried stigma of the flower Crocus sativus Linnaeus, the most economic part of the plant. Due to its high price and demand throughout world, it became frequent object of adulteration and gained attention to dishonest producers. The main aim of the research is forensic analysis of saffron. The various chemicals methods, microscopic and analytical techniques like TLC & UV-Visible Spectrophotometry were performed on the saffron samples to explore rapid authenticity testing of genuine saffron.
