Introduction
Adulteration of milk supply with chemically
synthesised milky liquid termed as 'Synthetic milk'
has become public health hazard and major concern for
the dairy industry. Synthetic milk is prepared by emulsifying
vegetable oils with appropriate amount of detergents,
urea, caustic soda, sugar, salt etc. are dissolved in
water and blended with the detergent emulsified oil.
This mixture is mixed with the natural milk supply in
varying proportions. A number of tests are currently
employed by the dairy industry to check this adulteration.
However, it has been a common experience that in spite
of all the testing, the problem of milk adulteration
continues to grow unchecked.
