Abstract

To have the health benefits in the body, milk plays an important role and it is the most important fluid. Milk is widely consumed by all over the nations. The processed form of milk can be known as milk powder which is obtained by reducing the moisture content of the milk with the help of different unit processes and unit operations. For detection of milk adulterations, the conventional analytical methods are used. These are the laborious and slow, therefore it is impractical to use in routine milk screening by the industry of dairy. To implement the food regulatory safety norm authorities a rapid detection technique is required. Therefore a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy technique is introduced. It is a biochemical rapid fingerprinting technique that can be used to decrease the difficulties occurred by the conventional techniques. Therefore a review on FT-IR spectroscopy technique for analysis of various milk species is presented in this paper for better understanding of the FTIR spectroscopy technique to use in milk analysis. Different forms of FTIR spectroscopy combined with various techniques are studied in this paper. This review gives a study about various milk species such as cow, soya and reconstituted milk. Lastly, the evaluated analysis results can be described in the result analysis section. This paper can provide some knowledge to the researches about FTIR spectroscopy technique utilization in various milk analyses.
