Quality changes in milk adulterated with different concentrations of adulterants like urea, detergent, ammonium sulphate and neutralizers were determined using physico-chemical and microbiological quality characteristics. Addition of detergents at 0.1 to 0.9% concentrations showed an increase in the refractive index (RI). Specific gravity increased with incremental addition of detergent. Same trend was observed with total solids, total ash and pH; whereas, moisture, fat and lactose contents decreased. Microbial growth in the adulterated milk did not show much variation in the samples.
