The alcohol gun test is a rapid method used  to assess the quality of raw milk. It determines if milk will coagulate during processing, a crucial factor for products like UHT milk and milk powder. The test involves mixing milk with an ethanol solution and observing any formation of clots or flakes. A clear mixture indicates good-quality milk, while the presence of clumps suggests potential problems like contamination or improper handling. This simple yet effective tool has become increasingly popular among dairy farmers and processors in Kenya as a frontline defense against subpar milk.
