Original Saffron Features
Hashem vali Pourmtalkh, head of the Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization of South Khorasan, said: There are several ways to detect fake saffron that can be mentioned. If you put the saffron blades between paper and paper and press, we should not remain fat, otherwise saffron is counterfeit.
The chairman of the Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization of Southern Khorasan stated: “The color of the saffron blades is not soluble in gasoline, that is, if you put a few tar in gasoline, you should not be petrol.”
But Pourmadlagh said that saffron has a bright red color, a pleasant taste and a bitter bitter smell, and pointed out that saffron in the concentrated sulfuric acid produces a blue color that gradually turns into violet, cherry red and finally brown.
He said that it is possible to put saffron pieces on the butane gas while creating saffron pure purple, which is related to potassium, which sometimes may cause orange, A fake yellow color is created.
The chairman of the Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization of South Khorasan stated: “In order to identify the saffron, the principle should be increased to 0.1 grams of saffron powder, 10 ml of distilled water, 15 minutes, then shaken the solution and then add one gram of charcoal and then shake it, then It took 10 minutes to stay and get it again.
But Pourmadlagh continued, “The color of saffron is lost with charcoal, so the color of the final solution will indicate an organic color.”
He added: adding 50 ml of chloroform to some saffron, the chloroform solution will be almost nicer, while the color of yellow indicates the presence of flowers with carotenoids, capsules, or aniline dyes.
Chief of Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization of Southern Khorasan said: These are in the preliminary identification stage and full identification of saffron is carried out with accurate laboratory methods and equipped with appropriate laboratories that require precision measuring devices.
