i. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:

First of all I would like to thank my course instructor Dr. Deena P. Forkan for her invaluable assistance from the start till the end of the paper. She had guided me through every section with her advice and had been a constant source of motivation for me. This paper could have never been prepared without her help.

Secondly I would like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to study in NSU and also for helping me in preparing this research paper.

Thanks go to all my friends who provided invaluable ideas and also for motivating me throughout the project. The media has done a tremendous job by their strong stance against food adulteration which eventually led to the drive against food adulteration and I must acknowledge them.

Finally I would like to thank Allah as it is He who guides us in every step of our life.
