Abstract
The present study was conducted at Bor town, Jonglei state. The aim of this study was to detect and determine the common methods used by traders and milk dealers in the adulation of fresh raw cow milk samples before selling it to the consumers at the main market. Thirty samples of fresh cow raw milk were collected randomly from the main local market in the town of Bor, and the samples were subjected to further analysis; the collection of samples lasted for thirty days, with an average collection of only one sample per day. The final results from this study concluded that starch was the main adulterant which was used for cow milk adulteration rather than water and other methods of adulteration. The economic crisis forced milk dealers and sellers to add adulterants, such as water, starch, etc., into the milk in order to increase the quantity of milk to get more profit.
