    The document describes an experiment to detect adulterants in mustard oil and fats. It outlines using concentrated hydrogen nitrite to detect argemone oil in mustard oil samples, which would produce an orange or red color. It also details boiling fat samples with a sodium hydroxide solution, where paraffin wax or other hydrocarbons would remain unaffected on the surface, indicating their presence as adulterants. The result is that adulteration is confirmed through this testing process.

    EXPERIMENT-2

    *Aim:-To detect adulterants in the given sample of mustard oil and fats.
    *Theory:-Mustard oil is adulterated with argemone oil. Fats and oils
    are adulterated with cheap paraffin wax and other hydrocarbons.

    *Requirements:-Test-tube, Test-tube stand, Burner, Conc.


    Hydrogen nitrite and Sample of mustard oil and fats.

    *Procedure:-
    1)Detection of Argemone oil; Take about 5ml of
    mustard oil in a test tube, add few drops of hydrogen nitrile and shake.. A
    orange or red colour indicates argemone oil in the given sample of mustard
    oil.
    2) Detection of Paraffin wax:-Take about 1.0 gram of
    fats in a test tube. Boil with 4.0 ml of dil. NaOH. Fats undergo
    soapnification and dissolve in water whereas paraffin wax and other
    hydrocarbons remain unaffected. Therefore any droplet floating on the
    surface indicates the presence of paraffin wax and other hydrocarbon .

    *Result:-Adulteration is confirmed.
