Evaluación de los parámetros de calidad (organolepticos y fisico-quimicos) de la leche caprina en apriscos del área metropolitana de Cúcuta.

Abstract

Goat milk has particular characteristics which gives it a unique value, the production of goat milk is an interesting alternative for obtaining it and its derivatives, the breeding and handling of these animals are very simple. Due to the high consumption of goat milk that has been generated in recent years, this work was proposed to investigate and determine statistical data that can know the nutritional value and benefits offered by goat milk in the Metropolitan Area of Cúcuta. To carry out the evaluation of milk quality parameters, consider four zones (Juan Frio, Pórtico, Carmen de Tonchala and Patillales) to take samples from different farms and analyze them. In general terms, the organoleptic results are within the expected parameters, however the physicochemical aspects for the four areas evaluated the statistic reflects the significant difference in milk quality.
