Researchers studied deposition patterns which emerge when the liquid completely evaporates
The adulteration of milk with chemicals and water is ubiquitous among unscrupulous suppliers, a practice that poses a risk to consumers. But the way milk evaporates may help discern its purity.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have developed a “low-cost and effective method” to detect the presence of urea and water in milk, by analysing deposition patterns after evaporation. Their findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal, ACS Omega.
