It has been notice that adulteration of palm oil with carcinogenic dyes are on rise. Use knowledge in analytical process to systematically outline a protocol to follow to process adulterated palm oil to gain quantitative and qualitative information spectroscopically about any added toxic dye. Explain also the basis of your protocol of choice.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Palm oil is one of the most widely used oil for cooking. In order to gain more profits many dealers mix pal  oil with some adulterants that give it a bright color and increase the volume of the oil by mixing many fat soluble dyes in them. These dyes are fat soluble, low cost, easily available which make them viable for mixing it in the oil. These dyes are azo dyes which are used to give color to many things like paint, tiles etc. But these dyes are proven to be carcinogenic hence the use of this azo dye is banned.
