The composition of the product depends on the milk used, the de- 

 gree of concentration and, if sweetened, the amount of sugar added. 



The only form of adulteration practiced by manufacturers to any 

 extent is the use of skimmed milk in the place of whole milk. Pre- 

 servatives, as boric, benzoic and salicylic acids, , are sometimes pres- 

 ent, but they usually have been added by the producer or dealer. As 

 the sterilization prevents fermentation, it is unnecessary for the manu- 

 facturer to add a preservative. 



Sixteen samples of condensed milk were examined, and no adul- 

 teration was found. As the samples were old and in rather bad con- 

 dition from age, they were examined only. for preservatives, starch 

 •and glucose, and the amounts of milk solids and fat contained were 

 not determined.
