INTRODUCTION
● Adulteration is a legal term meaning that a food product fails to
meet the legal standards.
● Adulterants are the substances or poor quality products added to
food items for economic and technical benefits.
● Food adulteration refers to the act of intentionally debasing the
quality of food by either adding or replacing the food substances
with undeclared alternative components, or by the removal of
some valuable components.
● Milk adulteration is often performed to intentionally degrade the
quality of milk to make profit illegally.
MILK ADULTERATION
IN INDIA
A study by Food Safety and Standards Authority of
India (FSSAI) showed around one-tenth of processed
milk samples have safety issues while over a third
of the samples, even those of major brands, failed
to meet one quality standard or the other.
Types of
common
adulterants
and their
effects
Major types of adulterants:
● Urea
● Formalin
● Detergents
● Ammonium sulphate
● Boric acid
● Caustic soda
● Benzoic acid
● Salicylic acid
● Hydrogen peroxide
● Sugars
● Melamine

UREA
DETECTION

Soybean reacts with urea to form Soybean


Urease whose activity increases the pH of
its environment as ammonia is produced,
which is basic and therefore the litmus
paper changes its colour from red to blue
DETERGENT
DETECTION
The detergent present in the
adulterated milk leads to the
formation of lather on the top due to
reaction with selective ions present
in milk sample whereas pure milk
will have a thin layer of foam due to
shaking.
WATER
DETECTION
In case of milk, its coefficient of
viscosity is higher than that of water
due to which the relative motion
between the layers is much more
restricted as compared to water. So, a
drop of pure milk flows slowly leaving a
trail behind whereas adulterated milk
flows immediately without leaving a
mark.
STARCH
DETECTION
After the addition of iodine solution,
there is some transfer of charge
between starch and iodine molecules.
This changes the electron arrangement
and hence the spacing between the
energy level. The new spacing absorbs
visible light selectively and gives the
complex intense blue colour.

cow milk, buffalo milk, skimmed
milk, toned milk or soy milk.
CONCLUSION
Milk adulteration is a social problem. It
exists both in the backward and advanced
countries. Consumption of adulterated
milk causes serious health problems and a
great concern to the food industry. A large
number of research papers have been
published on milk adulteration and
detection, including some review papers.
