Is Your Milk Pure? Easy Ways to Spot Adulteration at Home in Minutes

• Milk adulteration, especially with water, is common and harmful; traditional taste-based detection is often insufficient.
• A 'Fettometer' machine (₹27,000-₹30,000) can detect water in milk in 10 seconds; simple home remedies also exist.
• Pure buffalo milk has 6-8.5% fat; SNF (Solids-Non-Fat) should be equivalent to or slightly higher than fat, and CLR (Correct Lactometer Reading) indicates mawa content (pure if >200g/liter).
• Pure milk spoils faster (6-12 hours in summer/winter); water-adulterated milk lasts longer (up to 24 hours) due to weakened structure.
• Home tests: Pure milk doesn't soak into the ground immediately, sticks to plastic/utensils, has natural sweetness, and a clear white color.

Why It Matters: Learn simple home tests and professional methods to identify water adulteration and fake milk.
