dc.description.abstractThe commercial saffron samples were received by the Department for analytical testing from different dairy plants and commercial saffron sellers of Gujarat. The saffron contained on an average 12.88 per cent moisture and volatile matter, 119.77 colouring power (as direct reading of the absorbance of crocin at 440 nm, on dry matter basis), 55.85 per cent (on dry matter basis) aqueous extract, 6.56 per cent floral waste, 2.47 per cent (on dry basis) nitrogen, 4.57 per cent total ash and 0.57 per cent acid insoluble ash. It was seen that there was very large variation in the moisture content from 7.50 to 18.39 per cent and about 97 out of 160 samples (61 per cent) contained moisture well above 12 per cent under regulatory norms. The colouring strength of samples ranged as low as 19.11 and maximum to the values of 231.77. It was further observed that 62 samples were of finest quality (above 110) as per ISO-1993. The values for majority of the samples (97 samples) fall between 70.10 and 146.75 with 60.63 per cent as revealed in frequency distribution. The aqueous extract ranged between 30.18 and 69.38 per centen_US
