Abstract

The production of milk and dairy products has become one of the most important branches of agricultural production, but not all dairy products have the same composition and are equally beneficial to health. At the same time, the growing importance of milk and dairy products as complete food products has led to an increase in demand for these products. The purpose of this work is to analyze the quality indicators of milk and dairy products, including for baby food, and to identify the compliance of these samples with organoleptic requirements and physicochemical indicators. Dairy products, including those for baby food, from different manufacturers, purchased at retail outlets in the city of Barnaul, were selected as objects of research. Indicators such as acidity of milk, density, content of calcium, magnesium, lactose, fat, dry non-fat milk residue, organoleptic indicators were evaluated.
