Question (English)

Match the column:

TABLE-I TABLE-II
1. Coliform test (a) 72°C / 15 seconds
2. HTST (b) Mixing of cow & buffalo milk
3. Hansa test (c) 74°C / 7 seconds
4. Stassanization (d) Detergent adulteration of milk
5. Bromo-cresol-purple test (e) Faecal contamination of milk
  1. 1-e, 2-a, 3-b, 4-c, 5-d ✓ Correct
  2. 1-a, 2-e, 3-b, 4-c, 5-d
  3. 1-e, 2-a, 3-d, 4-c, 5-b
  4. 1-e, 2-c, 3-b, 4-a, 5-d
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1-e, 2-a, 3-b, 4-c, 5-d
  • Coliform test (1-e): Indicates faecal contamination of milk (mainly E. coli — coliform bacteria originate from faecal matter).
  • HTST (2-a): High Temperature Short Time pasteurization — 72°C / 15 seconds.
  • Hansa test (3-b): Used to detect mixing of cow & buffalo milk.
  • Stassanization (4-c): A method of pasteurization at 74°C / 7 seconds.
  • Bromo-cresol-purple test (5-d): Used to detect detergent adulteration in milk.
Complete Quality Control Test Summary
  • Organoleptic test → Colour, flavour & taste
  • Coliform count test → Faecal contamination (E.coli)
  • Phosphatase test → Inadequacy of pasteurization
  • Hansa test → Mixing of cow & buffalo milk
  • Delvo kit test → Antibiotic & sulphur residues
  • Iodine solution → Starch adulteration
  • Picric acid → Gelatin adulteration
  • p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde → Urea adulteration
  • Bromo-cresol-purple → Detergent adulteration
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • Option B: Swaps Coliform test and HTST.
  • Option C: Swaps Hansa test and Bromo-cresol-purple test.
  • Option D: Swaps HTST (72°C/15s) with Stassanization (74°C/7s).
