Overview

Randomized trial evaluates physicochemical and enzymatic analysis for detecting milk adulteration, suggesting effective fraud prevention methods.

Key Points

  • This research aims to create a reliable method for detecting simultaneous water dilution and sucrose addition in goat and sheep milk.
  • Conducted controlled experiments diluting milk with water (1–15%) followed by sucrose addition.
  • Evaluated changes in physicochemical parameters using an automated milk analyzer.
  • Characterized adulterant powder via chemical analysis, ICP-AES, and HPLC-RI.
  • Water dilution decreased protein (p<0.05), total solids (p<0.05), and density (p<0.05).
  • Sucrose addition restored these parameters but could be reliably detected above 0.1% concentration.
  • The analytical approach offers a cost-effective solution for monitoring dairy authenticity.
