Abstract
Abstract: Milk is a primary source of nutrition for all mammals. Evaporated milk is available in cans and it is gaining popularity worldwide due to the long shelf life it enjoys. Evaporated milk does not require refrigerationif the can is not opened. Removing of about 60% of water from fresh milk produces evaporated milk. This research has aimed to compare the nutritive values of different types of evaporated milk available in the local market in Benghazi city; Libya. The milk brands were coded from M1 to M17. Seventeen brands of evaporated milk marked in Benghazi were analysed to evaluate the proximate values of total energy, moisture, ash, fat, protein, lactose, solid non-fat, acidity and PH. The analysed results were compared to labeled values by the producers which found to be in close agreement. The analysed values were also being found in compliance with Libyan standers and codex standers. Keywords:Evaporated, Milk, Nutritive Values, Labels, Codex.
