A novel method to detect added water to full fat milk has been developed using single frequency electrical conductance measurements. The characteristics at 100 kHz and 8 degreesC for all skimmed milk samples revealed a linear decrease in conductance with increasing water content over the entire range of water concentrations. In contrast, the conductance of full fat milk showed a decrease only at added water concentrations higher than 10%. At lower added water concentrations, the full fat milk exhibited an anomalous conductivity maximum at 2-3% added water. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
