This study investigates the adulteration of fresh Buffalo milk provided by Vendors, in Malkapur Tahsil. The seven samples were collected from consumers. All samples were chemically examined & analyzed to find out adulterants. The analysis revealed that some samples were adulterated with mostly urea, detergents & salts while all samples were free from ammonium sulphate and starch. The adulterant decreases the nutritive value of milk and may also cause serious human health problems.
