Technology Details:
A rapid paper-based strip test has been developed for the detection of hydrogen peroxide in milk. The prepared strip is white in colour. The test involves putting a drop of milk on the strip followed by visualization of change in colour of the strip. The colour change to pink after about 1 minute in case of milk is adulterated with hydrogen peroxide. The intensity of pink colour produced in the strip is proportional to the amount of hydrogen peroxide present in milk sample. The test can detect presence of 0.001% level of hydrogen peroxide in milk. The test can be used at milk reception centers and also at house hold.
