Identification of adulteration in the market samples of saffron using morphology, HPLC, HPTLC, and DNA barcoding methods.

Researchers used DNA barcoding, HPLC, and HPTLC to test saffron samples from 16 countries. 43% were adulterated, with DNA barcoding identifying the most cases. Adulterants included unsafe plants and synthetic safranal. Methods will aid in quality control and market surveillance.
