Detection of different adulteration from milk with non-destructive approach (Near infrared spectroscopy): A short review
The present article is a review work about the role of near infrared spectroscopy to detect different adulterantsin the milk. Milk is a nutritive food and very useful and healthy drink for the child and senior citizens. It has various nutrition parameters. But, to increase the profit many adulterantsare added in the milk which are very harmful for human body. The adulterants can be detected using various chemical methods which are time consuming, hazardous and destructive in nature.Thus there is need of a nondestructive, green and rapid method to detect the adulteration. Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is one of the most useful and robust technique which needs no minimal sample preparation and is rapid, green, and non destructive in nature. The review covers the various nondestructive methods to detect various adulterants.
