How to Check Milk Quality at Home
Summary
Milk can be checked at home using simple preliminary tests for water dilution, smell, color, taste, and packet condition. Experts say suspicious milk should be confirmed through laboratory testing rather than home remedies alone.
Key Points
- A drop test on a clean glass surface may indicate whether milk has been diluted with water.
- Cream formed after boiling is not a reliable way to judge whether milk is pure or adulterated.
- Smell, color, taste, production/expiry dates, and packet condition should all be checked before use.
- Laboratory testing is more reliable than home-based checks for detecting milk adulteration.
