What is Adulterant?
An '''adulterant''' is a [[chemical substance]] that should not be present in other substances, like [[food]], [[drink]]s or [[fuel]]s. Adulterants are often added to more expensive substances to increase the visible quantity. The word is used when the addition is unwanted by the recipient of the product. Chemical substances that are added to food or drinks for a purpose are called [[food additive]]s. When substances are added to (illegal) drugs, these are often called [[cutting agent]]s. {{chem-stub}} [[Category:Foods]]
