Article Synopsis
- Milk is commonly adulterated by mixing cow's milk with milk from other animals like goats and sheep, which can pose health risks, especially for those allergic to cow's milk proteins.
- A new qualitative PCR method was created to accurately detect cow's milk addition in goat and sheep milk, distinguishing it even at low concentrations (down to 1%).
- Testing showed that 50% of commercial goat milk samples did not comply with labeling regulations, and the PCR method proved more sensitive and efficient than existing tests, with future plans to assess its use in other dairy products.
