USEING OF HMF VALUES TO DETECT DRY MILK IN LIQUID MILK

Abstract

ABSTRACTA simple and rapid method was performed to detect dulteration of liquid milkwith dried milk powder .The method was based on the determination of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) produced from Meillard reaction .The HMF value in cow raw milk was 6.69 m.mole/l.while it was in the UHT milk 4and sterilized milk 12.48 and 13.12µ.mole/L, respectively .The HMF value in reconstituted(15% W/V) dried milk was 32.40µ.mole/L .On the basis of these HMF values it is possible to detect adulteration of raw, UHT milk and sterilized liquid milk with dried milk powder
