In order to assessthe presence of antibiotics, conservatives and restoratives, as wellas the physico-chemical quality of whole milk commercializedin the south of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, 11 UHT milkbrands and four different pasteurized milk brands were boughtin local supermarkets. The physico-chemical evaluation wasconducted according to official methods. Brands were subjectedto the following analysis: total solids content, fat content, crudeprotein content, ashes, carbohydrates, titratable acidity, density at15°C (g/ml), freezing point, analysis of the presence of antibiotics,chlorides, formol, hydrogen peroxide, starch, sucrose andhypochlorite.
