New Test For Detecting Fake Organic Milk

Scientists in Germany are reporting development of a new, more effective method to determine whether milk marketed as “organic” is genuine or just ordinary milk mislabeled to hoodwink consumers.

In the study, Joachim Molkentin and colleagues point out that organic milk has soared in popularity in many countries. Sales in Germany, for instance, rose by almost one-third between 2006 and 2007. Consequently, crooks may take advantage of the situation by marketing increasing quantities of fake organic milk. That situation created a need for better tests to detect the fraud.

To address the issue, the scientists developed a test based on an analysis of milk fat for the ratio of stable isotopes of carbon. They used it to identify milk samples from cows raised on feed containing a higher ration of maize. Such a feeding regimen is typical of conventional milk production.

Organically raised cows are fed less maize but more pasture feed. In addition, the team identified a significant difference in the alpha-linolenic acid content of milk fat between organic and conventional milk samples. Organic milk typically has a higher alpha-linolenic acid content than conventional milk.

    1.German scientists are reporting development of a new way to see whether milk marketed as “organic” is really really organic or just mislabeled to trick the customer.

    2.Organic milk is becoing more popular in many countries.

    3.Crooks may take advantage of costumers by saying that normal milk is organic when it really isn’t.

    4.Scientists have made an analysis of milk fat for the ratio of isotopes of carbon.

    5.Organiclly raised cows don’t get fed as much maize but they get more pasture feed.

  7. Sciencetists are making an easier way to tell if the milk your buying is organic is genuine or just ordinary milk mislabled. theifs are taking advantage of this and making fake organic milk. That is the reason why they need the tighter coverage on organic milk.

    With the rise in organic milk demand, crooks have been scamming people saying their milk is organic milk, when really, it is not. Organic milk is becoming very popular, sales are sky rocketing in Germany, and like I said, crooks feel the need to take advantage of this. So scientist decided to make a test to figure out if you are drinking normal or organic milk. They used ratio of stable isotopes of carbon to identify milk samples of cows that have eaten more maize in their diet. This type of diet is normal for a cow who gives non-organic milk. The team of scientist were able to find a big difference in alpha-linolenic acid content in organic and normal milk. Organic milk has a higher acid content than both. Hopefully, people will not fall for the scams of the crooks again.

    In the study, Joachim Molkentin and colleagues point out that organic milk has soared in popularity in many countries.

    Crooks may take advantage of the situation by marketing increasing quantities of fake organic milk.

    Scientists developed a test based on an analysis of milk fat for the ratio of stable isotopes of carbon.

    Organically raised cows are fed less maize but more pasture feed.

  23. German scientists have come up with a way to find out if some milk is really organic or if it is just a good way to advertise. The reason why is because in countries organic milk has made a good profit so some people take fake organic milk and try to con people into buying it. Scientists have made a test on which they examine the milk fat for the ratio of chemicals of carbon. They also looked at cows that feed on a higher portion of maize, and then cows that feed on less maize but ones that eat from pastures. The cows that pasture feed are the ones with organic milk instead of the ones that consume a high amount of maize.

  24. Ruhi Singh- 2nd period

    1. Germans are making a new method to tell if milk is organic or not.
    2. Organic milk is very famous in many countries.
    3.Organic milk has a higher alpha-linolenic acid than regular milk.
    4. Organicly raised cows have less maise so they found a large difference.
    5.The sales of organic milk went up one thirds between 2006 and 2008.

  25. In this article scientist have come up with a new way to test for fake organic milk. Since organic milk has rose in popularity people have been trying to fraud it and get money. The organic milk is very highly valued in many contrys and has a higher alpha-linolenic acid that regular milk. And sales have went up between 2006 and 2008 which makes it very popular. The scients have created a test that wich they examie the milk fat for the ratio of chemicals of carbon. They have also compaired the different types of food the cows consume. These experments have helped scientist find out which are frauds.

  26. Scientists in Germany are reporting development of a new more effective method to tell weather the organic milk that they say they have is real or not. Crooks may take advantage of costumers by saying that normal milk is organic when it really isn’t. The German scientist use samples from organically riased cows to tell if its fake or not.

  27. In this article it states that because the popularity for organic milk has soared in many countries. Theifs may take advantage of the situation by marketing increasing quantities of milk that isnt really organic. That situation created a need for better tests to detect the fake milk. Scientists in Germany are reporting development of a new, more effective method to determine whether milk marketed as “organic” is genuine or just ordinary milk mislabeled to trick consumers. Scientists developed a test based on an analysis of milk fat for the ratio of stable isotopes of carbon. They used it to identify milk samples from cows raised on feed containing a higher ration of maize. Such a feeding regimen is typical of conventional milk production. Cows raised organicallly are fed less maize but more pasture feed. Likewise, the team identified a major difference in the alpha-linolenic acid content of milk fat between organic and conventional milk samples.

  28. In the past it has been difficult to verufy the authenticity of milk marketed to consumers as organic. The recent increase in the popularity of organic milk in many countries has given rise to the need for a faster, more efficient way to validate milk as organic. German scientists are attempting to find just that. The method involves testing for the ratio of stable isotopes of carbon in order to determine the amount of maize in the cow’s diet. Scientists are also looking at the amount of alpha-linolenic acid in the milk, as organic milk tends to have higher levels of concentration of this acid.

  29. 1) Scientists in Germany are reporting a new, more effective method to determine whether milk marketed as organic is genuine or just ordinary milk to hoodwink consumers.
    2) Sales in Germany rose by almost one third from 2007-2008.
    3) Some people are selling regular milk as organic milk to get more money.
    4) Organically raised cows are fed less maize but more pasture food.
    5) Organic milk has higher alpha linolenic acid content than conventional milk.
    6) To tend to the issue scientists developed a test based on analysis of milk fat for the ratio of stable isotopes of carbon.

  30. 1. More people in many countries are drinking organic milk.
    2. It is possible that fake organic milk may be marketed and sold.
    3. Scientists developed a test to determine whether milk is organic or fake.
    4. Cows raised on feed containing high levels of maize produce conventional milk.
    5. Organic milk has more alpha-linolenic acid in it.

  31. Scientist are working to determine whether organic labeled milk is really organic or whether it just labeled wrong. As said in the article milk come from the cow; cows that are raised to produce organic milk are fed less maize, but more pasture feed aloowing the milk to be organic. This also effects the price of milk as said by Joachim Molkentin and colleagues, that the price in Germany has been raised! Making organic milk higher is some ingredients than in regular 2% or 1%
