Testing Scope

About This Test

Cream (commonly referred to as Malai in Indian households) is the high-fat layer skimmed from the surface of milk after boiling or centrifugation. It contains a minimum of 25% milk fat (in case of table cream) and up to 40% or more in clotted or heavy cream. Malai is traditionally collected during milk boiling, while cream can also be commercially prepared through separation. Both are used in culinary preparations, desserts, and dairy-based products for their rich texture and flavor.

Why It Matters

Purpose of Testing

Compliance with FSSAI fat standards, typically ≥ 25% for light cream and higher for heavy or clotted cream

Microbiological safety, including detection of pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and Coliforms

Detection of adulterants such as added starch, synthetic fats, detergent, or whitening agents

Verification of physical properties such as viscosity, spreadability, and consistency

Contaminant analysis for pesticide residues, antibiotics, heavy metals, and aflatoxins

Assessment of freshness and spoilage markers, especially in unpackaged or local products

Label claim verification for packaged cream, including fat content and storage instructions

Shelf-life evaluation under recommended refrigeration conditions
