Summary: | This study was conducted in the Dairy Technology Laboratory, National Agriculture Research Centre (NARC) Islamabad, Pakistan during 2005 to evaluate different buffalo milk samples of different dairy farms located in Chack Shehzad (S1), Dhoke Chaudhery (S2), Abphara (S3), Margallah Town (S4) and Satellite Town (S5) of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. These samples were analyzed for composition and adulteration. Results showed that maximum fat, protein, ash and water contents were observed in samples S1 (7.35%), S3 (3.8%), S1 (0.71%) and S5 (84.8%), respectively. Minimum values of fat, protein, ash and water were observed in samples S4 (6.98%), S2 (3.50%), S5 (0.60%) and S1 (82.8%), respectively. Maximum total solids were recorded in sample S1 (17.2%), while minimum in sample S5 (15.2%). Our analysis showed that no adulterants were found in these samples. The statistical analysis showed that the fat, protein, water and ash contents of these milk samples collected from different areas were significantly different (p less than 0.05). |
