“…The present study is the preliminary stage and can also be explored further in relation to time, humidity and other factors. Similar attempts have been made on other agents, such as gulaal (Kumari et al 2011) food colours (Kumari et al 2011), for the developing latent fingerprints.…”

“…Latent Fingerprints can be discovered by various methods. Earlier, powder dusting methods including black powder (Haque et al 1989), fluorescent powders (Kerr et al 2013), and other synthetic food and festive colors (gulal) (Kumari et al 2011), ninhydrin dipping (Crown 1969), iodine fuming (Jasuja et al 2012) and silver nitrate (Dalrymple et al 1977) were most commonly employed for the development of such prints. These techniques exhibited quite effective results for many surfaces but to increase their efficiency and to simultaneously diminution the price, some advances were needed.…”

Background: Forensic scientists have exposed number of ways for recovering usable finger marks that divulge the identity of the person involved or linked to the felony. Numerous incremental progresses were made over decades by introducing different powder formulations for development of latent fingerprints which overcome the use of chemicals which are toxic and pose potential health jeopardies. Result: In the present study, a less expensive, simple and easily accessible household materials such as cumin, Coriander powder, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, etc. have been used to disclose the mysteries of latent fingerprints on an aluminum foil by dusting method which gives good results. The best results were shown by limestone and Fuller's earth. Conclusions: Our original study has come up with more of such novel and innovative dusting powders that has shown momentous outcomes with the metal substrate. This type of work has not been reported previously and can provide beneficial information to the sleuths in cases of dearth or non-availability of orthodox fingerprint development powders and chemicals.

“…Garg et al [2] presented a new powdering method for fingermark development using turmeric powder obtained from rhizomatous herb. Kumari et al [8] introduced a new powdering method using synthetic food and festival color for fingermark development. Gaskell et al [9] introduced a novel fluorescent reagent that contained natural yellow 3, a dye that is used Science and Justice xxx (2015) xxx-xxx as a food coloring, for grease-contaminated fingermarks on non-porous dark surfaces.…”

Fingerprints are one of the most present and valuable pieces of physical evidence in forensic science and can often, to some extent, be found at the crime scene. These marks, a series of ridges and furrows and their random combinations on the finger surface [1,2], are assumed to be unique for every person, pointing out that there are no two people on Earth that have identical fingerprints [3]. There are three distinct types of fingerprint: patent, plastic, and latent, that could be recovered from the crime scene [4,5]. On the other hand, latent fingerprints are impressions secreted on a surface and are usually imperceptible [6-8]. Identification of these latent fingerprints is one of the most important tasks for law enforcement agencies in order to identify persons suspected of having committed a crime [3]. Fingerprint detection and analysis for individual identification has undergone tremendous changes since its introduction to the investigation of crimes in 1892 [9,10]. Many approaches are used for their visualization, but two main and routinely employed are
