It is a new-age, hand-held battery operated device called ‘Raman 1.0’.
This device performs rapid detection (in less than 1 minute) of economically driven adulteration in edible oils, fats and ghee.
The equipment tests more than 250 samples per battery charge, collects and stores data on the cloud using a smart device.
This is the first of 19 such equipment and methods that have been provisionally approved by FSSAI for strengthening the food testing infrastructure in the country.
