ADULTERANT
1. Maize fibres dried, coloured and scented.
TEST
1. Genuine saffron is tough. Spurious saffron will be brittle and break easily.
2. Genuine saffron dissolves easily in water giving the aroma of saffron. If the water extract is dried and a rod dipped in sulphuric acid is drawn across the surface, a blue colour which immediately turns purple and then reddish brown indicates pure saffron.
