A Brief On the Measuring Device Lactometer
by Hemant Sharma Digital Marketing ManagerAbout Lactometer
Milk is an important part of our daily diet. But most of the
times, it has been found that milk is adulterated with Formalin, Urea, Starch,
Vanaspati, and water. Packaged milk in addition to milk bought from milk-sellers
can be adulterated.
Thus, it is always important to check them prior to consuming. In
addition to this, water turns out to be the most common adulterant in milk which
reduces the nutritional value of milk and can even pose a health risk to
consumers.
Use of Lactometer in checking adulteration in
milk
A lactometer is used to measure milk density. It can determine how
much water is in the milk that is being tested. This is an instrument used to
find out the richness of milk. It works on the law of specific gravity of milk and comprises of
a Meter Bulb and a Test-Tube. This device can be used very easily.
You will just need to add some milk in the test-tube and then dunk the
meter bulb in it. You will see that the meter bulb hovers. The meter reading points
out how pure or impure the particular milk is! The more the bulb sinks, the more impure the milk
is. In case the reading is at the red mark, it shows that the milk is rich
and unadulterated.
