| description | The immense rely of Malaysia on imported products caused the tariff rates on dairy
products to be much lower as compared to other foods and dairy imports licenses
became more readily obtained. The general objective of this research is to determine
the presence of milk adulteration of milk from different types while specific objectives
include; determining the physical characteristics and chemical analysis of milk
samples performed for detection of signs of adulteration. Samples were divided into
three categories namely Fresh milk, UHT milk and Imported Fresh milk based on their
packaging labels. The physical analysis includes the determination of pH using a pH
meter and the measurement of specific gravity through the use of lactometer. Chemical
analysis incorporates the detection of formalin with the addition of concentrated
suphuric acid, detection of starch using iodine solution and the detection of skim milk
powder by testing milk samples with nitric acid. Results showed that majority of milk
samples acquired an alkaline pH and a low specific gravity related to the addition of
water in milk as well as having a significant difference between milk samples with a
value of (P<0.05). Detection of formalin showed a 100 % for both Fresh and Imported
Fresh milk while 87 % for UHT milk. Starch and skim milk powder detection was 100
% negatively tested for samples of all three milk types. |
