Spread plate technique is used to determine
the bacterial colony forming unit (Nisha,2022).
CFM/ml= (number of colonies x dilution factor)
/ volume of culture plated) MILK ADULTERANT TESTS ON STARCH AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY - OBJECTIVE 2 Laboratory test for starch in milk is carried out using iodine test. Though the adulteration of milk with water can be checked by lactometer reading, other adulterations too affect the lactometer reading. Hence freezing point depression, recognized by AOAC, is usually adopted. Percentage of water added = Normal freezing point – Observed freezing point X 100 Normal freezing point
Normal freezing point of milk is taken as –0.55°C. A
tolerance level of 3% is given which is equivalent to specifying a minimum freezing point depression for authentic milk of –0.55°C. TEST FOR THE PRESENCE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN MILK The test will be carried using antibiotic milk test kit (Tirlan ,2023).
