Hydros (sodium hydrogen sulphite), lime (Calcium oxide), sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sajji (50% sodium carbonate, 6.4% sodium chloride), super phosphate and alum are used. Use of various chemicals as juice clarificants during jaggery preparation results in presence of harmful chemicals like SO2 in jaggery and also affects the taste and storability of such jaggery.
