摘要
Milk is universally recognized as complete food, which contains essential components for human nutrition. Physicochemical analysis constitutes an important device that monitors its quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics of fresh cow milk in samples taken in the region of Shkodra and Lezha and compare it to European quality standards. Results of the analyses were statistically processed by the Minitab 17 statistical program. Results showed that there is no significant difference (P > 0.05) in fat, protein, lactose and density value, while there is significant difference (P < 0.05) in pH, ash% without fat, freezing point and water value. The results show a stability of physicochemical parameters of milk, with variation according to the region where samples were gathered.
