Description
The consumption of milk and dairy products has found significant applicability in our country and around the world, considering the high nutritional values of milk. However, the practice of milk adulteration has created a global concern. Milk adulteration is carried out with various chemicals that undoubtedly reduce the quality of milk and can negatively impact human health, leading to various diseases, including potentially fatal ones. Therefore, high care must be taken in selecting unadulterated milk. This study was conducted to gather detailed information on the adulteration of cow's milk by performing physical analyses such as density, freezing point, and acidity, as well as chemical analyses like added water, vegetable and animal fats, foreign proteins, and chemical compounds (urea), mixed sugars, and microbiological analyses such as the total number of microorganisms. The results of the research are processed in the MS Excel program.
