Abstract
Milk is a food product obtained from animal origin and is widely consumed by different age groups. Its primary function is to provide nourishment and immunological protection to the newborn. It plays an important role in human nutrition, as it contains balanced quantities of nutrients like fat, protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, and minerals. Apart from playing an important role in daily diet, milk is also a suitable vehicle for various additives or adulterants without causing any significant changes in its appearance. It is also prone to several post secretion changes, which can be natural or manmade. The quality of the raw milk used further determines the quality of milk products. In order to ensure the quality of raw milk, dairy plants follow various chemical quality control tests (platform tests) so as to check the suitability of raw milk for processing.
