So, the purpose of this paper was to evaluate the effect of microwaves on the chemical characteristics of raw milk especially on the protein content. The obtained results showed that the average of fat, protein and lactose concentrations decreased during the microwave exposure especially at 120 and 180 seconds. Also, the currently results showed high levels of aldehyde (butanal – hexanel – octanal – total aldehde) at 60, 120 and 180 second corresponding to levels of all in the raw and boiled milk
