Abstract:

For the examination of thiocyanate adulteration, raw milk samples were subjected to protein precipitation and filtration and the filtrate was then added with ferric salt solution and the calculation of thiocyanate content based on absorbance determination due to color change caused by the reaction between thiocyanate and ferric salt was performed. This method was successfully used to thiocyanate determination in raw milk with excellent linearity, high recovery rate and good repeatability at sulfocyanate concentrations of less than 30 mg/L. In general, this method is suitable for the quality test of diary products due to its simple operation and accurate results.

Key words: raw milk, sodium sulfocyanate, detection, ferric salt method
