How to identify fake ghee from real one

Appearance and texture-

Ghee in its purest form has a golden colour, rich creamy texture.when held against light ot should appear translucent and clear. The pale colour of ghee could be indicative or preservatives. This could be the most basic criterion for one to buy ghee.

 

Packaging and label-

Special attention should be paid to the packaging and label of ghee products. A genuine ghee brans will have all major certificates of regulation compliances on it.

 

Aroma and flavour

Ghee has a nutty flavour and a smooth consistency. The ghee should never smell burnt as it has a high heating point. The burnt smell could be because of the presence of water or addons.

 

While you can judge ghee using the above mentioned criteria before buying it, there are also other ways by which you can ensure that the ghee you’re consuming is beneficial.

 

Palm test-  pour frozen ghee on your palm, if it starts melting instantly then the ghee is pure.

 

Water test- fill a glass of normal water at room temperature, add ghee to it, if the ghee floats it is unadulterated and if it sinks then the ghee is infused with addons.

Salt test- add a pinch of Hyaluronic acid and tablespoon of salt to two spoons of ghee, after 20 minutes check the colour of the ghee, if the ghee has turned red, it means it is adulterated.

 

Iodine test- add 2 drops of iodine solution to ghee if it turns purple then the ghee has a presence of starch in it.

 

 Boil test- boil the ghee, be caregul that ghee has a higher heating point so if it starts smelling as burnt, then you know it is not pure ghee. Bubbles and steam when boiling the ghee are also indicative of adulterated ghee. After you’ve boiled the ghee, refrigerate it in a jar. If you see layers forming in the jar there is a presence of some other oil too in the ghee.
