Cowbell Lactometer for Milk Purity Testing Made in India

\nA lactometer is a simple instrument used to measure the density or specific gravity of milk, helping to assess its purity and quality. The basic principle behind its use is that pure milk has a specific density, and any deviation from this can indicate adulteration or dilution, such as the addition of water or other substances. \n \nHow It Works: Floating Principle: The lactometer is designed to float in the milk. The level to which it sinks correlates with the milk's density. \n

Testing Procedure

\n

\n
1. Sample Preparation: Ensure the milk sample is at a consistent temperature, ideally around 20°C (68°F).
\n
2. Insertion: Place the lactometer gently into the milk sample contained in a graduated cylinder or tall glass.
\n
3. Reading: Allow the lactometer to stabilize, then read the scale at the surface of the milk to determine the specific gravity.

Limitations

\nWhile a lactometer provides a quick assessment, it should be complemented with other tests (like alcohol, formalin, or specific tests for detecting milk powder) for a more comprehensive evaluation of milk purity. \n \nOverall, the lactometers are a valuable tool in dairy quality control, helping to ensure that consumers receive safe and unadulterated milk products.
