In recent years, dietary excess cholesterol is
widely accepted to induce atherosclerosis. Therefore, dairy products with low
cholesterol levels are recommended and have more market. In this study, fat and
cholesterol level were determined in organic and conventional milks. The commercial
milk products were purchased from several stores located in the Kayseri city in
Turkey. Three different brands and three different lots within a brand were
purchased from several retail outlets in the city and in order to determine its
relationship with cholesterol ratio; after determining the fat ratio,
cholesterol levels were determined. The cholesterol level was determined by gas
chromatography. T-test was used to compare the results. As a result, the fat
ratios of the milk obtained from organic and conventional farms were found as
2.73% and 3.34%, respectively. The cholesterol ratio was 207.1 and 452.0 mg/100
g in the organic and conventional milk, respectively. The 4% fat-corrected
cholesterol levels were 303.5 and 541.28 mg/100g respectively in the organic
and conventional milk samples. As a result, the cholesterol level was lower in
organic milk
