Histological method of cottage cheese identification

In our time, the dairy market in Russia has significantly increased the range and volume of products supplied. Fermented milk products, which are widely used among the population, are produced under many brands, many of which are actively promoted in television commercials. Today, the methods of counterfeiting products often correlate with the progress of technology and the use of low-quality materials, which allows manufacturers to adjust the physical and chemical characteristics of products so that they meet the established standards. As part of our work, we have developed a method for detecting fakes in cottage cheese, especially those related to the determination of the original dairy material. In the process of studying this problem, we were the first to propose a histological method, which allows us to determine with high accuracy the initial raw materials used for the production of cottage cheese.
