Jabalpur is a fluorosis endemic district, falls in the central part of Madhya Pradesh. Many of the people in this area are suffering from large scale fluorosis. By analyzing the last eleven years data, the researchers tried to study the resource profile that enhances the fluoride contamination in the area under reference.
Millions of people are crippled and leading vegetable life, due to fluoride in many parts of the country. The main cause of disease is intake of water with high fluoride content, i.e. more than 1.5 mg/L. Jabalpur district falls in the central part of Madhya Pradesh, many of the people in this area are suffering from large-scale fluorosis.

Nine different brands of commercial vanaspati were analyzed for their various physicochemical characteristics. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra showed the characteristic peak at 966/cm corresponding to trans compounds for all the samples examined. The fatty acid composition showed that the trans fatty acid (elaidic acid) content ranged from 5.9 to 30.0%.
