Experimental Studies Regarding the Physicochemical Aspects of Raw Milk

Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental studies conducted on 30 samples of cow, sheep, and goat milk coming from 5 mixed farms specialized in animal breeding and exploitation and from 5 centers of milk collecting from smaller individual producers. The studies look upon the physicochemical aspects of milk, such as antibiotics, aflatoxin, density, and acidity. With the help of the diagrams the situations in which the milk is compliant (it meets the European and Romanian norms which are into force), but also some cases in which the analysed milk is not compliant are pointed out. The main purpose of these studies is to help the population realize the possible danger brought about by the acquisition of drinking milk from producers that commercialize milk that does not respect the above-mentioned rules and does not have the NSVFSA approval.
