Denaturation (food)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Food which is rendered inedible by use of chemical or physical means which affect its palatability or appearance to a degree which makes it unappealing or even toxic.

An example of such implementation is adding Denatonium (which is normally used for poison) to food used for laboratory purposes where human consumption is not intended. Another example is denatured alcohol.
