Antibiotic residue in milk is one of the important quality control issues that must be considered in terms of both human health and dairy product production. Antibiotics used in the treatment of animal diseases can pass into milk when the required withdrawal period is not followed. This situation may create serious risks during the processing of milk and its presentation for consumption.
For dairies and milk processing businesses, antibiotic residue is important not only in terms of health but also in terms of production quality. Milk containing antibiotics may negatively affect fermentation processes in the production of yogurt, cheese, and fermented dairy products. The development of beneficial bacteria used especially in cheese and yogurt production may be harmed by antibiotic residue. This means deterioration in product quality, production loss, and economic damage.
Therefore, the use of antibiotic test kits at the milk acceptance stage is an important part of the safe production process. Antibiotic test kits in milk provide businesses with a fast and practical control opportunity. The antibiotic test solutions included in Faser Kimya’s dairy group products help make the quality control processes of milk businesses more reliable.
