Milk – Borne Pathogens and Pasteurization Practice Test

Melamine is a synthetic chemical produced in industry. It is a carbon- and nitrogen-rich organic compound that is not found in nature in pure form, and it isn’t an acid or a mineral. Structurally, it’s a small organic molecule (a triazine with amino groups) that is used to make polymers when combined with formaldehyde. Because it is manufactured rather than occurring as a natural substance, “synthetic chemical” is the best description among the options.
