Methods to differentiate between cotton tract area ghee and cotton seed oil adulterated ghee

Tibetan butter and Indian ghee are both fat products derived from cow’s milk or other dairy products that are rich in nutrients. Although both Tibetan butter and Indian ghee are primarily produced by filtering, heating, separating, cooling, and molding, there are differences in their production processes. Tibetan butter is produced in a process similar to that of butter, while Indian ghee is clarified butter obtained by further extraction based on the obtained butter. Both types of ghee are susceptible to adulteration; Indian ghee is primarily adulterated with vegetable oils, animal fats, and other fats or non-fats, while Tibetan butter is typically adulterated with animal body fat and non-fats, including mashed potatoes. There are numerous research reports on the detection techniques for adulteration in Indian ghee, while there are very few reports on the detection technology for adulteration of Tibetan butter. Studies have shown that techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and electronic nose (E-nose), either individually or in combination, are efficient in distinguishing adulterated Indian ghee. These findings could serve as a reference for the detection of adulteration in Tibetan butter in the future.
