This study was designed to elaborate the physical and chemical condition of the milk supplied to the Bahawalpur city. A total of thirty samples were collected from the various sources and were processed for the determination of physical condition, chemical composition and adulterations. The results indicated that the water was added in higher amounts in all the samples. 10% samples from milk shops were found adulterated with vegetable oil. No samples were found to adulterate with, starch, urea, formalin, detergent, ammonium sulphate etc. The chemical composition of the milk samples from milk shops, tea shops and households were acidity %(0.14 ± 0.02,0.12 ± 018,0.12 ± .016); protein%(2.79 ± 0.38,2.68 ± 0.37,2.79 ± 0.36); pH% (6.74 ± .046.72 ± .062,6.70 ± 0.61) ; Fat%(4.01 ± 0.68,3.13 ± 0.0.87,2.82 ± 0.81) Solid-Not-Fat(7.92 ± 0.82,6.97 ± 1.08,6.34 ± 0.98) and total solids (14.2 ± 7.99,10.10 ± 1.88,9.16 ± 1.75) respectively. The adulteration observed mostly in Milk shop sample, hence the study clearly brought the fact that milk from all resources had adulterated samples frequently with addition of water and vegetable oil.
