The aim of the study is to determine the adulterants in edible oil using Chromatography and
authenticate the output using Statistical methods. Sattva in Sanskrit means Purity that is food should be healthy

affects the digestive system, leads to metabolic disorders like diabetes, cardiac problems, also affects the human
Mind and in turn the society. Food gives energy that includes carbohydrate, protein, fat, minerals and vitamins,
of which fat constitutes 30% of the energy store. Edible oil is a source of fat that is consumed in large quantities
across the world. In the proposed study, Sunflower oil adulteration with other cheaper oils detection using
chromatography is identified. Using Principal component analysis the chromatographic results are
authenticated.
