Abstract: 
In the modern time, a lot of standards and food authorities are working towards the negligible use of integrities in food and other types of materials such as spices, beverages, oil etc. Yet, the impurities and adulteration are often noticed in the food and related materials. The impurities or contents which are mixed within the materials have harmful dirt, straw, earthy material, lead, chalk etc. In this study, we focused on the different spices which are easily available in the Indian market and frequently used in our kitchen. The mango powder (Local name - amchur), which is used for taste in most of the Indian food and have a lot of integrities without our knowledge.
