DECLARATION

I (a student of Bachelor of Science of Govt. Motilal Vigyan Mahavidyalaya, Bhopal) hereby declare that the Project work entitled “ADULTERATION Of MILK” submitted to Barkatullah University Bhopal (M.P.) is a report of an original work done by me under the guidance of DR. SANTOSH AMBHORE and this project work has performed the basis for the award of degree of Bachelor of Science.                    


ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This project report has been completed and I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to those entire associate with it. This report is an outcome of my hard and consistent efforts. Therefore I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all those without whom this project would never have been accomplished.

Firstly I would like to thank Prof. (DR.) V. K. SHRIVASTAVA our respected principal for providing me a platform to work out my work plans in a solely practical manner.

I would also like to thank DR. SANTOSH AMBHORE who has given me valuable support and knowledge in making my project better and also helping in every way and at every possible step of my work and providing his valuable suggestions.

I am also extremely thankful to all the faculty members of the college to help me to come out with the flying colors in this report and help me bring out the best I could. 


CERTIFICATE

This is also certifying that the project entitled “ALDUTERATION OF MILK” which is submitted by Mr. ABHISHEK KUMAR TRIPATHI Enrollment No. – R150030060060 in the partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Science by the Barkatullah University, Bhopal, is a record of the candidate’s own work carried out by his under my supervision and guidance. He has collected all his literature very sincerely and methodically and his work is authentic.

I recommend the project to be forward to the examiner for evaluation in academic session 2016 – 17.

INTRODUTION OF MY PROJECT -

Adulteration of Milk is a very dangerous problem for us. It comes under food adulteration and when we talk about Food Adulteration in India then you know that many times we hear about poisoned food even including food, milk, fruits etc. Some culprits do so because they want to earn money quickly and they do not care about our health.

                               India is 2nd most populated country after china. Therefore demand of everything (mainly milk and milk products) is very high. We know that India is only the country where milk production is very good comparing to all over the world. But many times we see the problem of adulteration of milk. But when we want to analysis whether the milk is adulterated or not then by following some steps we can easily conclude the accuracy of milk or milk product.

                             In the supervision of respected DR. SANTOSH AMBHORE sir I with my some friends did an experiment on adulteration of milk that I am going to mention now:

Adulteration of milk

Milk is called as a wholesome food. We get every required energy and elements from milk. But when milk gets adulterated then this becomes very dangerous for heath. In my project I did some general practical on milk like if milk is adulterated having starch, urea, neutralizers or water then by using some steps you can easily find the adulteration in milk.

If milk is adulterated with water then it is easy to know about how much water is adulterated in the milk. With the help of Lactometer we can easily define milk adulteration with water. We took two samples of milk first Cow Milk and second Buffalo Milk we got result in Lactometer:

1.   Reading of cow’s pure milk was 22 to 27 degree.

2.   Reading of buffalo’s pure milk was 28 to 32 degree.

But when we analysis milk adulterated with water was giving low value in Lactometer.


Testing in Lab

But except water is adulterated in milk then to know about purity of milk is difficult. Then we took support of chemistry. With the help of some chemical elements and compounds we can easily analysis adulteration of milk. Whatever we did in our experiment, we took many samples of milk and milk products then finally by using chemicals we get many consequences that I am going to mention now.



DETECTION OF NEUTRALIZERS IN MILK

General: - Milk is sold in the cities is being transported from a longer distance. If the milk is not transported at a low temperature, there is every likelihood of its getting spoilt because of bacterial action. Neutralizers are added in the milk to avoid spoilage of milk but there addition to milk is not permitted under PFA (Prevention of Food Adulteration) Rules.

Common neutralizers used are sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. The process of neutralizers can be detected by use of alcoholic rosalic acid solution. Addition of this re-agent gives a red colour if bicarbonates and carbonates are present while a deep rose red colour will appear if sodium hydroxide has been used as a neutralizer.


The appearance of deep rose red colour indicates the presence of a neutralizer.


DETECTION OF EXTRANEOUS UREA IN MILK

General: - Although addition of urea is prohibited under the PFA Rules. Still it is added to the milk by unscrupulous persons to increase its viscosity thereby giving a feeling of rich milk.

We mix para-dymethyl and then amino benzaldehyde to the milk.

The appearance of a distinct yellow colour indicates the presence of added urea.  


DETECTION OF STARCH IN MILK PRODUCTS
 

General: - Starch is a common adulterant in milk products as its gets easily mixed up with these products because of the similarity in the colour. Starch adds to the weight of the products, and, is therefore, a cheap source of adulteration. The adulteration of these products with starch with starch can be detected by addition of iodine to these products which results in the formation of a blue colour. The blue colour is due to the formation of an inclusion complex between iodine and the amylase. The amylase coils into the spiral and the iodine molecule aligns within the centre of this spiral and causes light absorption which gives a blue colour.

The formation of a blue coloration shows the presence of starch in milk. 


SO
ME OTHER WAYS OF MANUFACTURING MILK WITH ADULTERATIONS

In big cities often people do some other ways of manufacturing milk with adulteration that one of many methods, I am going to mention now. They use this method because of they get much adulterated milk and earn much more. Actually this is mentality of those who do not care anyone and think to earn early and exceed. According to government this method is not legal but I am going to mention it because many times you see this type of news and whether you or your family are getting poisoned milk or milk products. This wonderful method of making impure milk is mentioned below: -

People making Milk with Chemicals

1.   Firstly use a pouch of Shampoo and mix that with some refined oil. And make paste with your hands in a big bowl.

2.   Now mix half liter milk and some sugar and much water

3.   Now shake the resultant for almost 5 minutes. You milk is ready for sale.

But this method is illegal. I have mentioned it because I want to know about samples of milk or milk products that are sold in market. Surprising thing about this method is that culprits make it so gently that even Lactometer fails for many times.


CONCLUSION AND RESULT

We know that milk is wholesome for us but it is dangerous when milk is adulterated. Finally when we worked on this project we can say that it is not difficult to know about whether the milk is adulterated or not. But many times we feel hazardous when milk is manufactured. According to me and my friends we did this practical with many samples of milk and milk product but we did not found and product or sample poisoned.

                            

MEMORIES

Ultimately I with my friends worked on project “ADULTERATION of MILK” in the supervision of DR. SANTOSH ABHORE sir. And we are really very happy for successfully working on the Project. I would like to thank especially to our respected sir and to our all group members who supported me to complete my project. 

                                                                                            A LOT OF THANKS!!!
