Abstract
Mustard oil holds a distinguished status among oils, favored for its diverse applications. Renowned for its delightful taste and health-enhancing properties, it remains a staple choice, despite the abundance of alternative edible oils. Abundant in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, mustard oil serves as a boon for heart health by lowering bad cholesterol levels. Enriched with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, it boasts anti-inflammatory properties. However, recent observations reveal a troubling surge in adulteration and counterfeit oils are being intentionally blended with authentic mustard oil on a significant scale, resulting not only in compromised food flavor, but also posing health risks to consumers. This article summarizes health effects and industry-wide consequences of adulterated mustard oil, proposing collaborative strategies and stringent regulations to safeguard consumer well-being. By raising awareness, this article aims to ensure the quality and authenticity of mustard oil for consumers.
