FOOD ADULTERATION AND METHODS FOR DETECTION. 



Colors, steins, and cocoanut shells are imported into the United 

 States in considerable quantity for the purpose of adulterating spices. 

 Bombay mace and wild mace are products belonging to the same class 

 of plant products as true mace and bear a general resemblance to it, 

 but they have very little flavoring power, and hence constitute an 

 adulteration when mixed with it.
