I did a small home testing on turmeric adulteration between 1 commercial turmeric powder & my homemade Sena's Spice Blend Turmeric powder gew weeks ago.

Well there was a difference. Adulterated turmeric powder will leave a strong yellow colour in water while settling down. Cloudy water indicated POSSIBLE adulteration.

From the pic below, this commercial powder might not have chalk powder as the water is not cloudy. To check Metanil yellow synthetic dye in ur turmeric powder, acid tests can be done ( we can say its adulterated by colour changes). Will try soon n lets wait for the results as this commercial powder has stronger yellow than natural one.

Im just hoping for negative results (considering the amount that we consume daily is quite worrying). Plz do small tests at home n pay for what u buy:)
