Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1-e, 2-d, 3-c, 4-b, 5-a

The correct matching of milk adulteration detection tests is:

  • 1. Picric acid solution → e. Detection of Gelatin in milk
  • 2. Bromo-cresol purple solution → d. Detection of Detergent in milk
  • 3. 1% solution of Iodine → c. Detection of Starch in milk (turns blue-black)
  • 4. p-Dimethylamino benzaldehyde reagent → b. Detection of Urea in milk
  • 5. Delvokit test → a. Detection of Antibiotic & Sulphur residue in milk
Memory Aid
  • PiGe: Picric → Gelatin
  • BroD: Bromo-cresol purple → Detergent
  • IoS: Iodine → Starch (classic blue test)
  • pDU: p-dimethyl → Urea
  • DelA: Delvokit → Antibiotic
