A new methodology for identification and differentiation of goat and sheep milk was developed based on FT-IR spectroscopy using hierarchical and discriminant analysis. Forty-nine goat and 38 sheep defatted and freeze-dried Greek milk samples were analyzed. FT-IR spectra were obtained in the diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) mode. The spectral region 1840-950 cm⁻¹ was used to 'fingerprint' milk types. Main peak used for differentiation of goat/sheep milk is located at 1745 cm⁻¹, which is correlated to the degree of sugars carboxyl methyl esterification. Hierarchical and discriminant analyses were based on the absorptions of the above spectral region. These analyses showed that the samples of goat milk can be differentiated from the samples of sheep's.
