Milk can be called one of the most popular products at the moment. But how to determine the quality of milk?
The most interesting thing is that the quality of milk can be determined even at home if you follow a few tricks.
Appearance
The first thing to pay attention to is the appearance of the milk. It should be uniform, without lumps or sediment.
In addition, the color of the milk should be light white, without yellowish hues, which may indicate the presence of fat.
Smell
Good milk should smell fresh and pleasant. Unpleasant smells, such as sour or rancid, may indicate the beginning of the decomposition process and negatively affect its quality.
Taste
Checking the taste of the milk is also important. It should have a mild and natural taste without impurities or bitterness.
If milk has a strange or unusual taste, it is better to refuse to drink it.
Reaction to heating
Heating can also help determine its quality. Bad milk may curdle or form thick lumps when heated.
Quality, on the contrary, should heat up evenly and not curl up.
The best way is iodine
If the milk is diluted with water and thickened with starch, you can use this method.
It is enough to add a few drops of iodine to a cup with pullets. If it becomes slightly yellowish, it is good. The blue color indicates low quality.
Earlier we talked about making soup from canned fish.
