Adulteration has grown in importance recently on a global scale. You can get edible oil from both plant and animal sources. Despite not being a food group, edible oils are necessary for human intake since they contain vital elements. Edible oils are used in baking, as a frying medium, for salad dressing, in the creation of culinary products, and as ingredients in food. Butter, ghee, and fish oils are examples of fats derived from animal sources. The main purpose of these edible oils is to improve food flavor.
To raise production costs, edible oil has recently been contaminated, which compromises the quality of fats and oils. To increase profits, some edible oils are combined with and contaminated with cheap, low-quality vegetable oil. Edible oil adulteration causes several health risks. Gall bladder cancer has been associated with the [3]adulteration of mustard oil with argemone oil. The integrity of oils and fats must be maintained, and various detection techniques must be improved. The focus of this review article is on several detection techniques for identifying and evaluating adulterants in edible oils.
