Adulteration of milk fat in raw milk with vegetable oil/ fats with pre-adjusted BR-reading, Reichert Meissl and Polenske values is becoming a common practice in the present scenario of rampant adulteration of milk and milk products. Detection of such type of adulteration using traditional or routine methods wherein physico-chemical constants of milk fat are used as a basis becomes impossible and continues to be a challenge for the dairy industry. Hence, in the present study, relatively rapid and convenient protocol based on Reversed-phase thin layer chromatographic was developed to check the purity of milk fat in milk. Using the Reversed-phase thin layer chromatographic protocol the added adulterant oils (rice bran oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil and groundnut oil) in milk could be detected to the minimum level of 1%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
