This is how to identify fake goods
There is adulteration of water, urea, detergent etc. in milk. To identify it, mix the same amount of water in ten mL milk. If foam is produced in it, then understand that milk is adulter ated. To check the adulteration of water in milk, drop the milk on smooth surface. If water is found, it will move fast without leaving any trace, while pure milk will move slowly. If such milk is rubbed between the fingers for identifying the synthetic milk, it will keep slipping like soap. If it is heated, it will turn yellow.
How to identify pure mawa or paneer
Take small amount of mawa or paneer and boil it in water. When cold, add a few drops of iodine to it. If starch is mixed, then its color will go to blue. Silver paper is used for decoration over sweets. However, adulterants impose its poor quality by damaging the intestines and damaging these organs.
