Ali Ahmad Hassabo Adam
This research investigates the Adulteration of marketable fresh milk adulterated with water and starch at Khartoum state . Also the research shows the incidence of the adulteration to the consumers in addition to the economical loss which may happen during the processing. Three hundreds samples from Khartoum, Omdurman and Bahri were collected. All samples were chemically examined and analyzed to observe their quality. Then EKO milk device was used to find whether there was starch added to the milk or not on the other hand. Lactometer was used for testing the density of the samples . Further more an oven under (105)c was used to detect the total solids of the samples. The lish meddall equation was used for that analysis.
