In the present investigation, a novel chromogenic test has been developed to ascertain the presence of vegetable oil in milk. This standardized protocol did not show any false-positive results in the genuine milk samples. Adulteration of milk with vegetable oil @ 1% level could be detected by this chromogenic test protocol. This said protocol is convenient to use in the rural dairy industry especially rural-based milk collection centers; as no costly instrument or trained manpower is required for this said test.
