Abstract
The role of milk and milk products has been increasing in human health, along with an increase in the demand for safe and hygienically produced products. The competitiveness among the dairy industries is also increasing every day. The biggest challenge faced by the dairy industry nowadays is to produce good quality products that are safe and as per the legal standards laid by the food regulating bodies. These legal standards are made to have a quality control check on the products being marketed, so as to safeguard the consumers from any health-related issue. Thus, it is now imperative to check and determine the different parameters that define the product safety, quality, and its composition as per the standards. This chapter covers the various parameters that are tested for a product to maintain the prescribed standards.
