We all enjoy a tall glass of milk everyday, but can we be sure that it doesn't contain urea, water, formalin, sugar, salt, or even laundry detergent? The answer is no. India's adulterated dairy industry has been a concerning issue for decades.
The main substances used for contamination are:
1) Urea - increases protein content in milk through nitrogen
2) Formalin - increases shelf life of milk for more than 48 hours
3) Sugar/salt - increases lactometer score to mask water dilution
4) Water - cause milk to lose purity and lactic acid content
5) Detergent - increases fat content
Consumption of these substances can have serious health implications, particularly affecting our digestive system. Fortunately, the Indian Institute of Science has observed changes in evaporation patterns which can help distinguish between adulterated and pure milk.
The non-volatile substances of pure milk leave a distinct, blob-like patterns as a residue. This is not observed for milk diluted with water, and in the case of urea contamination, the urea crystallizes at the edges of the glass. This breakthrough discovery can definitely ease the process of identifying adulterated substances, regardless of the tenuous measures vendors use to cover up.
Be vigilant, be proactive, and be aware. Together we can fight this mafia of contaminated food/drink products.
