dc.description.abstractMilk, has not been a exception for the pull strings of millennium developments. In recent years, milk available to the consumer is deviated from its inherent nutritional composition because of rampant adulteration. This study was designed to assess the quality with regards to adulteration in milk which is supplied to consumers in and around the Cauvery delta regions of Tamil Nadu. A total of 75 milk samples were randomly collected from various sources like street vendors, tea shops, restaurants, hotels and commercially available pasteurized milk outlets and tested for the presence of common adulterants like starch, sugar, glucose, detergents, neutralizers, salt and skim milk powder. This study revealed that the presence of detergent (48%), sodium chloride (36%), skim milk powder (29.3%), neutralizer (18%), sugar (12%), starch (8%) and urea (8%). It was found that tea shops happened to be a major source followed by restaurant and hotels. It is concluded that awareness needs to be created among the public about the health hazards of adulterants.en_US
