“…This finding is not similar to a study, in which formalin and melamine level was above permissible level. 2 Another study also showed such positive results. 10 Pasteurized milk is one among the 64 items of food and agricultural products of BSTI list (pasteurized milk-BDS 1702:2002).…”

“…1 Due to increasing demand of milk; milk adulteration is a common phenomenon especially in certain areas of the world. 2 The adulteration is an act internationally debasing the quality of food offered for sale either by admixture or substitution of inferior substances or by the removal of some valuable ingredients. 3 Milk adulteration leads to economic losses, deterioration of the quality of end products and a risk to consumers safety.…”

Background: Milk adulteration has become a serious concern. Some of the adulterants in milk have serious adverse health effects. This study was designed to assess consumer awareness about milk and determine formalin and melamine in milk.Methods: The study involved a laboratory-based investigation and a survey was conducted to assess consumer awareness about milk adulteration from January 2018 to June 2018. Total 10 samples were collected from local market purposively. 2 adulteration tests were conducted to detect formalin and melamine in samples. 10 brands of milk from 8 companies were collected from different markets of Savar and tested at BCSIR as per Bangladesh Standards. On the other hand; a survey was conducted to assess consumer awareness about milk adulteration. A pre tested semi structured questionnaire, was used to collect the information. Statistical analysis was done by using Excel.Results: We found the concentration of formaldehyde and melamine in all 10 analyzed products below the level of detection. The majority (55.9%) of the respondents knew that there is a law in the country that deals with milk adulteration; among them 41.7% thought that the reduced mobile court activity is reason for unchanged milk adulteration situation and insufficient penalty is also a major factor (45%). Only (55.9%) respondents consider water is main milk adulterant and 31.8% know about Chemicals. The majority of the respondents 87.8% strongly agreed that milk adulteration has harmful effects on health.Conclusions: These findings may be helpful for the concerned government regulatory bodies to monitor the quality of the commercial milk in the market.

Plants are protected from fungal invasion by antifungal proteins and peptides found in a variety of affected plant tissues. Defense mechanisms to fight plant pathogens involve the synthesis of pathogenesis-related proteins that are not found in plants in normal conditions (Van Loon, et al., 2006). These proteins can have a wide range of structural variations, and they are generally classified based on their biological activities and chemical structure. This categorization includes chitinases, chitin-binding proteins, ribosome-inactivating proteins, thaumatin-like proteins, peroxidases, defensins, defendinglike peptides, lectins, protease inhibitors, and lipid-transfer proteins (Wong, et al., 2012).Chitinase (E.C.3.2.1.14) are glycosyl hydrolases that hydrolyze chitin into its oligomeric, dimeric, and monomeric components by cleaving the β-1,4linkage between GlcNAC. Endochitinases and exochitinases are the two classes of chitinase. Endochitinases randomly cleave chitin at internal polymer sites, resulting in the production of soluble, low

“…Similarly, the addition of a neutralizer to milk can help to neutralize the acidity that develops in milk. Brindha et al (2017) conducted a neutralizer analysis on milk samples collected from local areas and discovered that almost 20% of the samples were positive. The consumption of milk containing a neutralizer can disrupt hormonal signalling.…”

Purpose Milk is often referred to as the ultimate food because it meets the nutritional needs of infants, children and adults alike. It is a rich source of protein, fat, sweetness, vitamins and minerals. Because of its widespread usage as a healthy dairy product, the issue of milk adulteration is of global significance. The increasing frequency of fraudulent methods in the dairy business raises concerns about its purity and quality. Design/methodology/approach A study was conducted and reviewed that looked at several approaches for detecting milk adulteration during the past 15 years. This study examines the current state of research and analyzes recent advances in development. Findings There are ways and technology available that can effectively put an end to the abhorrent practice of milk adulteration. Originality/value This research takes a unique approach, focusing on the application of milk adulteration. It provides an overview of milk adulteration detection and investigates the effectiveness of biosensors in identifying common milk adulterants.
