What is milk adulteration?
Adulteration of milk is common in many low- and middle-income countries. While some adulterants are safe, others can pose serious health risks. Adulterants include water, milk from other species, plant proteins, whey and melamine. Food authorities are beginning to regulate to address this issue.
Common milk adulterants and their effects
What is milk adulteration with whey?
Adding liquid whey to milk to increase volume while maintaining protein levels can have serious implications. High levels or prolonged intake can harm health, especially in infants and children. Adding liquid whey to milk to increase volume also affects the flavor, texture, and nutritional composition of any products made from the milk.
What is milk adulteration with melamine?
Measuring the nitrogen content of milk proteins is a common way to estimate protein levels. Because melamine is high in nitrogen, it’s sometimes added to milk to fake higher protein content. But melamine consumption can cause renal failure. Infants and children are especially vulnerable to melamine toxicity.
What is other species’ milk adulteration?
Sheep and goat milk are often more expensive than cow’s milk. So adding cow’s milk to these milks without clear labeling is a form of fraud. It can harm people who are allergic to cow milk or who need the nutritional properties of goat or sheep milk. Detection of adulteration of milk and clear labeling are essential for compliance.
