PrefaceAt present india is the world leader in milk production with an annualproduction of 127 million tonnes. About 50 percent of the milk is handledby the organized sector. domestic market for value added products likebutter, ice cream, cheese, dairy whiteners and spreads is growing at 8-10percent per year. despite the large infrastructure available for processing ofmilk, only 27% of the total milk produced is at present converted into valueadded products. consumption of large quantities of liquid milk at the site ofproduction and poor post-harvest handling and processing are among thereasonsfor lowvalueadditionofmilk.WiththelaunchofthenationaldairyPlan,milkproductioninindiaislikelytoincreaseover4to5percentannuallyin the next two decades.the increasing demands and the accompanyingvalue addition present a great opportunity for the dairy industry to take upthe production and marketing of various dairy products especially traditionalproducts on an industrial scale. Accordingly the demand for professionalswith formal education in dairy technology would be increasing.

Definition

cream may be defined as that portion of milk which is rich in milk fat or that portion ofmilk into which fat has been gathered and which contains a large portion of milk fat, orwhen milk fat is concentrated into a fractionof theoriginal milk.

According to the Fssr rules (2011), cream excluding sterilized cream is the product ofcow or buffalo milk or a combination there of which conations not less than 25 per centmilk fat (table 1.1). Cream is rich in energy giving fat and fat-soluble vitamins A, d, e,and K, the contents of whichdependson the fat level in cream.

Production of Cream: the basic principle of cream separation, whether by gravity orcentrifugalmethod, isbasedon the fact thatmilk fat is lighter than theskimmilkportion.

Page 11: Dairy Products Technology (Dairy Technology)

Dairy Products Technology 3

At 160c the average density of milk fat is 0.93 and skin milk 1.036. Hence when milk,whichmaybeconsidered tobeamixtureof fat (ascream)andskinmilk, is subjected toeither gravity or a centrifugal force (Fig. 1.1), the two components, viz. cream and skinmilk, by virtueof their differing densities stratify fromoneanother.

Introduction

Butter isa fat richdairyproduct,generallymade fromcreambychurningandworking. itcontains80% fat,which ispartlycrystallized.Buttermaking isoneof theoldest formsofpreserving the fat componentofmilk. itsmanufacturedatesback tosomeof theearliesthistoricalrecords,andreferencehasbeenmadetotheuseofbutterinsacrificialworship,for medicinal and cosmetic purposes, and as a human food long before the christianera. Butter can be produced from the milk of cow, buffalo, camel, goat, ewe and mares.Fat is separated from milk in the form of cream using cream separator.the cream canbe either purchased from a fluid milk dairy or separated from whole milk by the buttermanufacturer.thecreamshouldbesweet (pHgreater than6.6),not rancid,notoxidized,and free from off flavors.the cream is pasteurized at a temperature of 80°c or more todestroy enzymesand micro-organisms.

Composition of Butter

Butter is principally composed of milk fat, moisture, salt and curd. it also contains smallamount of lactose, acids, phospholipids, air, microorganisms, enzymes and vitamins.the proportion of principal constituents in butter is largely controlled by the method ofmanufacture and this inturn is chiefly regulated to conform to the standards of butter

Production of Butter

Preparation of Cream

commercialbuttercanbeproducedfrombothsweetaswellasculturedcream.However,butter from sweet cream is most preferred as it results in sweet butter milk which hasbettereconomicvaluethansourbuttermilkthatresultswhensour/culturedcreamischurned(Fig. 1.2). cream should be neutralized to 0.06% lactic acid to produce butter for longstorageand to0.3% lactic acid toproducebutter for early consumption.thenadjust thefat percentage of cream to 35 to 40% fat. Heat the neutralized and standardized creamto 95°c for 15 secand cool it to 9°c.

ripening: ripeningreferstotheprocessoffermentationofcreamwiththehelpofsuitablestarter culture. this step can be eliminated if sweet-cream butter is desired. the mainobject of cream ripening is to produce butter with higher diacetyl content. starter cultureconsistingofamixtureofbothacidproducing(Streptococcus lactis, S.cremories)andflavourproducing(S.diacetylactis, Leuconostoccitrovorum and/or Leuc. dextranicum)organismsisadded.Amountof starteraddeddependsonseveral factorsandusually rangesbetween0.5-2.0 percent of the weight of the cream. After being thoroughly mixed, the cream isincubatedat about 21oc till desiredanacidity is reached.cream is subsequently cooledto 5-100c to arrest further acid development.

Cream Processing

aging: cream is held at cool temperatures to crystallize the butterfat globules, ensuringproper churning and texture of the butter. in the aging tank, the cream is subjected to aprogram of controlled cooling designed to give the fat the required crystalline structure.As a rule, aging takes 12 - 15 hours. From the aging tank, the cream is pumped to thechurnorcontinuousbuttermakingmachineviaaplateheatexchangerwhichbrings it tothe requisite temperature.

Churning: cream is agitated, and eventually butter granules form, grow larger, andcoalesce. in theend, therearetwophases left:asemisolidmassofbutter,andthe liquidleft over, which is the buttermilk.

Draining and washing: in traditional churning, themachinestopswhen thegrainshavereached a certain size, whereupon the buttermilk is drained off. With the continuousbuttermaker thedrainingof thebuttermilk isalsocontinuous.Afterdraining, thebutter isworked to a continuous fat phase containing a finely dispersed water phase. it used tobe common practice to wash the butter after churning to remove any residual buttermilkand milk solids but this is rarely done today.this washing process would ensure that allthe butter milk is washed out of the butter. otherwise the butter would not have goodshelf life and go rancid.

Salting: salt isused to improve theflavorand theshelf-life,as it actsasapreservative.Further,thebutterisworkedtoimproveitsconsistency.saltusedshouldbe99.5to99.8%sodium chloride and microbial count should be less than 10/g. salt is added at the rateof 2 to 2.5%.

working: theobjectiveofworkingbutteristoincorporatemoistureanduniformlydistributeadded moisture and salt in butter. during this process remaining fat globules also breakup and form a continuous phase, and moisture is finally distributed to retard bacterialgrowth in butter. it is safer to slightly over-work butter than to under-work. Under-workedbutter may be leaky in body with large visible water droplets and may develop ‘mottles’on standing.

Packing and storage: thebutter isfinallypatted intoshapeandthenwrapped inwaxedpaperandthenstored inacoolplace.As itcools, thebutterfatcrystallizesandthebutterbecomes firm. Whipped butter, made by whipping air or nitrogen gas into soft butter, isintended tospreadmoreeasilyat refrigeration temperatures.normallybutter isstoredat-230c to -290c.

Classification of Butter

Butter may be classified based on treatment given to cream, salt content, method ofmanufacturing and end use.

I. Classification based on acidity of cream used for butter making

1. Sweet cream butter: sweet cream butter (made from non-acidified cream; thisincludes butter in which no bacterial culture have been added to enhance diacetylcontent) having pHof 6.4 (acidity of the churned creamdoesnot exceed0.2%).

2. Mildly acidified butter (madefrompartiallyacidifiedsweetcream)havingpHin therange of 5.2 to 6.3

3. Sour cream butter (made from ripened cream which has more than 0.2% acidity)havingpH5.1.

II. Classification based on salt content

1. Salted butter: Butter to which salt has been added. it is added to improve flavourand keepingquality of butter.

2. unsalted butter: this type of butter contains no salt. it is usually prepared formanufacturing other products suchasgheeandbutteroil.

there are fivemethods of ghee making:

i. desi or indigenous Method

ii. directcreamMethod

iii. creameryButter Method

iv. Pre-stratificationMethod

v. continuous Method

Most of the indian ghee is produced through butter route and there are only a fewinstallations where the cream is concentrated to 85% fat and above and converted toghee by conventional boiling. Pre-stratification of molten butter to save energy in finalboiling is now an integral part of ghee process design. Melting of butter is mostly donein conventional butter melting vats. Few installations exist with on-line butter melting.theconversionofbutterblock intomoltenbutterandseparationofmoisture frommoltenbutter aimed at minimizing the quantity of moisture for evaporation in ghee manufacture.centrifugal clarification of ghee is becoming more popular in recent times. the gheeproducedbycentrifugalclarificationhasgotbetteropticalclarity.continuousgheemakingprocesshasbeenreportedlydeveloped, itscommercialadoption isstillawaitedby indiandairy industry.

At the moment of disappearance ofeffervescence and appearance of finer air bubbles on the surface of the fat along withbrowning of the curd particles indicates the end point. At this stage typical ghee aromais produced. Final heating temperature is adjusted to about 114±2°c.to get the cookedflavour, heating beyond this temperature is also being in practice. ghee is filtered via oilfilter into the settling tank.

Preparation of Khoa

Khoa is prepared by different methods depending on the location, quantity etc. Khoa ismanufacturedby the following fourbasicmethodsviz. traditionalmethod, improvedbatchmethod, mechanized method and useofmembrane technology.

Traditional Method

generally buffalo milk is preferred for manufacture of khoa as it results in higher yield,smooth texture and soft body with sweet taste.Where buffalo milk is not available, cowmilk is used for khoa making but it results in pasty body and slightly saltish taste in theproduct.

Filtered milk is taken in a thick wide mouth iron pan (karahi) and boiled on a brisknon – smoky fire. An iron scraper (kunti) is used for stirring the milk during boiling andalso to scrape the milk films forming on the surface during boiling. A rapid stirring andscrapping is carried out throughout boiling to facilitate quick and rapid evaporation ofwater frommilkandalso toprevent scorchingofmilk filmonsurface.due to continuousevaporation of water, the milk progressively thickens. some researchers observed thatat 2.8 fold concentration of cow milk and 2.5 fold concentration of buffalo milk, heatdenaturation of milk proteins take place and the proteins will not go into solution again.As the concentration is progressing the product slowly tends to leave the sides of thepanandstartsaccumulatingat thebottomandat this stage thepanhas tobe removedfrom the fire.the contents are worked up and allowed to cool and the residual heat intheproducthelps in furtherevaporationofmoisture.At thisstage,stirringandscraping isincreased to obtain good quality product. if the milk is subjected to high heat treatmentwith less stirring and scraping at this stage results in dark colored khoa that does notfetchgoodmarket valueas thatofwhiteor creamcoloredkhoawhich ismorepreferredfor sweets making.

Production of Three Varieties of Khoa

Dhap

For preparing dhap variety of khoa the heating should be stopped at rabri stage (thickmass)andleavingtheproductwithoutmuchworkingresults indhapvarietyofkhoawhichcarry soft grainsand highmoisture content.

Pindi

For production of pindi variety of khoa, heating is continued after rabri stage and withthehelpofawooden ladle thesoft grainsarecrushedand themass isworkedout toasmooth texturedproduct.Aftercooling, thekhoa ismoulded in tohemisphericalmolds togive its shape.

Danedar

sour milk is preferred for production of khoa.generally the milk that is left over after thepreparationofothervarietiesofkhoaisconvertedintodanedarvarietyofkhoa.sometimescitric acid (0.05 to 0.1%) or sour whey is added to milk at boiling stage to get granulartexture.

Improved Batch Method

A stainless steel double jacketed, steam heated pan or kettle is used to provide greatercontrolontheheatingprocessandtoensureanonsmokyheating.Fivelitersofstandardizedcowmilkwith4.5%fatorfourlitersofstandardizedbuffalomilkwith5.5%fatistakenperbatchandmilk isbrought toboil in thekettle.duringboiling,bottomand thesurfacesofthe kettle are scraped and milk is stirred vigorously by a stainless steel stirrer to avoidburning of milk solids. About 2 kg/cm2 pressure is used for boiling milk. When the milkattainsa rabri stage,slowheating isnecessaryat thisstage topreventburningofsolidson the surface, discoloration of the product, development of burnt flavour and hard bodyand coarse texture.the rate of stirring should be increased during last stages to obtaingood quality product. As soon as the product shows signs of leaving the sides of thekettleandaccumulating in thecentre inapat form,heating isstopped. it takesabout15-20 minutes to prepare abatch ofkhoa (1 kgapprox) by thismethod.

Preparation of Chhana from Buffalo Milk

Introduction

in india about 53% of the total milk produced is from buffaloes. dairy plants prefer tobuy buffalo milk as it contains higher proportion of fat andt.s. (1.5 to 2.0) times morefat thancowmilk.Becauseofmany inherentdifferences inPhysico-chemicalmakeupofcowandbuffalomilkseveralproblemsareencounteredduringprocessingofbuffalomilk.calcium content has direct correlation with hardness.the high calcium and casein (cowmilk2.42-2.7%caseinandbuffalomilk2.6-3.38%casein)contentinbuffalomilktenderit unfit for preparation of most chhana based sweets. Few attempts have been made toproduce chhana frombuffalo milk

Additionofmixtureofsodiumdiphosphate(75gper100lit.)anddisodiumphosphate(58gper100lit.) followedbystoring thehotmilk forsome timebeforeprecipitationproducesasoft chhana. sodium citrate converts some of the insoluble calcium into soluble salts inthe BM and this helps in production of softerchhana.

dilution of buffalo milk (standardized to 4% fat) with notable water @ 30% of milk afterboiling and coagulating at 70°c using 0.5% citric solution produces chhana good forsandesh making.

Factors Influencing Quality of Chhana

Type of Milk

cowmilkproduceschhanawithmoistsurface,lightyellowcolour,softbody,smoothtextureandmildlyacidic flavourwhich ismore suitable for sweetspreparations thanbuffalomilkchhana. Buffalo milk gives hard body and coarse texture, white in colour and greasysurface. sweets prepared from buffalo milk chhana are hard, coarse and less spongy.colostrum milk produces too pasty Chhana with deeper yellow colour and unsuitable forrossogolla.

Quality of Milk

Fat level

Minimum 3.5 to 4% fat in cow and 5% fat in buffalo milk gives a satisfactory body andtextureinchhana.Lowerthan3.5%fatleadstohardbodyandcoarsetexturewhilehigherfat level results in greasy surface

Acidity

Acidicmilkproduceschhanawithsoursmellandbittertastehenceunfitforsweetmaking.Additionof neutralizer to slightly acidicmilk helps in gettingchhana suitable forsandeshand not for rasogolla. Milk with 0.25-0.28% LA can be used by adding 0.2% sodiumcitrate followed by thorough washingof the coagulum.

Type, Strength and Quantity of Coagulant

Type

organicacids, likecitricacid, lacticacidor theirsalts(calciumlactate), tartaricacid,sourwhey are normally used. Lactic acid produces granular chhana suitable for rasogollamaking. citric acid gives pasty texture suitable for sandesh making. However citric acidcanalsobeusedformakingchhanasuitableforrasogolla.sourwheywith(0.9%LA)canalso be used for producing good quality chhana. calcium lactate produces chhana withbrightwhitecolour, softbodyandsmooth textureandpleasant flavourandmost suitablefor sandeshmaking.

Strength

Lowacidstrength(0.5%)resultsinverysoftbodyandsmoothtexturesuitableforrasogollabutunsuitableforsandeshmaking.theoptimumstrengthofcoagulantshouldbebetween

Dairy Products Technology 27

1 to 2% citric or lactic acid to produce good quality chhana suitable for making bothrasogollaandsandesh.However,calciumlactateof4%solutionproducesmostsatisfactoryquality chhana.

Quantity

the quantity of coagulant required is dependent on the type of milk. generally, 2 to 2.5g of citric acid per kg of fresh milk and 2.5 to 3.9 gm of lactic acid and 6 to 12 gm ofcalcium lactate per kgare required individually for complete coagulation.

Temperature of pH Coagulation

As the coagulation temperature decreases the moisture content of chhana increasesresulting softer bodyandsmooth texture, stickychhanawith slowwheydrainage.Highercoagulationtemperatureimpartsgraininessandhardnesstochhana.optimumcoagulationtemperature of cow milk is 80 to 850c and pH is 5.4 and that of buffalo milk is 70 to800cand pH is 5.7.

Speed of Stirring during Coagulation

Higher speedof stirringduring coagulation reduces themoisture content onchhana andincreases its hardness, whereas lower speed the reverse hold true (optimum speed is40-50 rpm).

Method of Straining

delayed straining produces a soft and smooth texture chhana than immediate straining.delayedstraininggivesahigherproportionofmoisture,yield, recoveryofmilksolidsandlower hardness.delayed straining is recommended for buffalomilk.

yield of Chhana

Yield and quality of chhana depends on the type of milk, heat treatment given to milkprior to acidification, coagulation temperature, acidity of milk strength of coagulant andresidence time of the coagulated chhana-whey mixture before separation of milk solidsfromwhey.

totalsolidspresent inmilkespecially fatandcasein influence largelyonyieldofchhana.the yield of chhana from cow milk is 15 to 17% and from buffalo milk yield will be 21to 23 %.

Shelf life of Chhana

Chhana isanextremelyperishablefoodproductduetoitshighmoisturecontent.Atroomtemperatureitdoesnotkeepgoodlongerthanaday.Underrefrigerationtheshelflifecanbe extended up to six days. since fresh chhana is preferred for making sweets of goodquality much research efforts have not beenmade in extending the shelf life.

Packaging of Chhana

skim milk is normally used in the commercial scale production of chakka (Fig. 2.3). Useof skimmilk hasgot three fold advantages theyare:

1. Low fat loss through whey

2. Faster moisture expulsion

3. Less moisture retention in the final product.

Traditional Method of Making Shrikhand

traditionally shrikhand is prepared by boiling cow or buffalo or mixed milk and cooled toroom temperature (30°c).thus heated and cooled milk is then added with previous daydahi at the rate of 0.5 to 1 %. Milk is left undisturbed overnight at room temperature toset firmly. it is thenstirredandhung inamuslin cloth for 10 to12hrs todrainoffwhey.thecurdmassobtainedafterremovalofwheyiscalledaschakka.chakkaisthenaddedwithcalculatedamount(40-45%w/w)ofsugar,color,flavourandotheroptionalingredientslike fruits, nuts, spices, herbsand cooled to 10°c or less.

the yield of chakka produced traditionally is about 650g per 1000g of milk and yield ofshrikhand is about 1.5 to 2.0kg per kgof chakka.

the chakka obtained from whole milk/ standardized milk has smooth body, whereas theone obtained from skim milk is little rough and dry.this is majorly due to less fat in thecurd.Whenwholemilk isused forchakkamakinghigh fat lossesoccurs inwhey therebyaffectingtherecoveryoffatinchakka.thereforeitispreferredtouseskimmilkforchakkamaking and then mixing of cream or unsalted butter to adjust the fat in the finishedproduct.

Packaging of Shrikhand

As shrikhand is a semi solid product, heat sealable polystyrene cups of 100g to 1000gcapacityarecommonlyused forpackingshrikhand.However,smallmanufacturersell theproduct in wax coated paper board boxes. High speed Form-fill-seal machines are alsoavailable to pack upto 6000 cups/hr.

Shelf life of Shrikhand

due to both high acid and sugar levels, shrikhand has a fairly long shelf-life of 30-40days at 8°c and 2-3 days at 30°c. the shelf-life depends largely on the initial level ofcontaminating Microorganisms particularly yeast and moulds.the shelf life of shrikhandcanbeincreasedbyadditionofpotassiumsorbate0.05%orbythermizationat65°cfor10minutescoupledwithadditionof0.02%sorbicacid.Forindustrialpurposespasteurizationof shrikhand at 650c/10min and subsequent freezing can increase the shelf life upto 12months at -180c.

Definition

the word‘cheese’ is derived from the old english‘cese’ which in turn was derived from

the Latin ‘caseus’ which means correct or perfect thing. cheese may be defined ‘as the

curd of milk separated from the whey and pressed into a solid mass’.this definition of

cheese is satisfactory but too limited and vague from a technical standpoint. therefore,

a relatively complete definition is as follows:

cheese is the curd or substance formed by the coagulation of milk of certain

mammalsbyrennetorsimilarenzymes in thepresenceof lacticacidproducedbyadded

or adventitious microorganisms, from which part of the moisture has been removed by

cutting, warming and pressing, which has been shaped in mould and then ripened (also

unripened) byholding for sometimeat suitable temperaturesandhumidity.

separationofwheyfromthecoagulumdoesnotcoverwheycheese,lacticcheese,cream

cheese and some of the cheeses produced by newer techniques, viz. ultrafiltration and

reverse osmosis.the definition is, therefore, not universally acceptable.

cheese is the freshormatured solid or semi-solid product obtained:

a) By coagulating milk, skim milk or partly skimmed milk, whey, cream or butter milk

oranycombinationof thesematerials, through theactionof rennetorothersuitable

andwhichgiveanendproductwhichhassimilarphysical, chemicalororganoleptic

characteristics as the product definedunder (a).

According to the Fssr (2011), cheese means the ripened or unripened soft or

semihard, hard and extra hard product, which may be coated with food grade waxes

or polyfilm, and in which the whey protein/casein ratio does not exceed that of milk.

starter cultures of harmless lactic acid and/or flavor producing bacteria and cultures of

other harmless microorganisms, safe and suitable enzymes and sodium chloride. it may

be in the form of blocks, slices, cut, shredded or grated cheese. Fssr (2011) has also

defined cheese on the basis of ripening as follows:

outlines of Cheese Manufacture

cheese manufacture involves the controlled syneresis of the rennet milk coagulum, theexpulsion of moisture being affected by: i) acid development, the pH falling from 6.6 toabout5.0asaresultof lacticacidbacteriaof thestarter,chieflyLactococcuslactissubsp.lactis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris, ii) warmth, the temperature being raisedto about 31°c for renneting and to about 38°c for scalding the curd, and especially iii)repeated cutting of the curdand stirring (Fig. 2.5).

Page 64: Dairy Products Technology (Dairy Technology)

56 Dairy Products Technology

Although some soft cheese varieties are consumed fresh, i.e. without a ripening period,

the production of the vast majority of cheese varieties can be subdivided into two well-

defined phases, manufacture and ripening.

Ice Cream Ingredients

the selection of ingredients is the most important factor in manufacture of good qualityice cream. ice cream ingredients aredivided into twogroupsnamely:

1) dairy ingredients

2) non - dairy ingredients

Stabilizers

the stabilizers are a group of compounds, usually polysaccharide in nature that isresponsible foraddingviscosity to themixand theunfrozenphaseof the icecream.the

Page 72: Dairy Products Technology (Dairy Technology)

64 Dairy Products Technology

basic role of stabilizer is to reduce the amount of free water in the mix by binding it as“water of hydration” or by immobilizing it within a gel structure. Also it is the ability ofsmall percentage of stabilizer to absorb and hold large amounts of bound water, whichproduces good body, smooth texture, slow melt down and heat shock resistance in theresultant product. stabilizers can be divided into two main groups: the protein and thecarbohydrategroup.gelatineandsomemilkproteinssuchascasein,albuminandglobulin,all other stabilizers are carbohydrates.

emulsifiers

An emulsifier is defined as a substance that reduces surface tension between oil–waterorair–water interface, thusenhancingemulsificationand increasingemulsionstability.Anemulsifier consists of a water-loving hydrophilic head and an oil-loving hydrophobic tail.thehydrophilichead isdirected to theaqueousphaseand thehydrophobic tail to theoilphase.theemulsifierpositionsitselfattheoil/waterorair/waterinterfaceand,byreducingthe surface tension, has a stabilisingeffect on theemulsion.

Formulation of Ice Cream Mix

Formakinggoodqualityicecreamandalsotoconformtolegalstandards,compositionofice cream mix is decided and according to the desired composition, quantity of differentdairy and non-dairy ingredients is calculated. there are various methods followed forcalculating amount of ingredients viz.

l Algebraicmethod

l Pearson square method

l serum point method

l computer developed formulations

l Formula tables/graphics method

Blending of Mix

Blending of all the ingredients is done in vat which is equipped with agitators and hasprovisionforheating.All the liquid ingredientsarefirstplacedinthevatandagitationandheating is started. the dry ingredients like skim milk powder, stabilizer, sugar etc. areadded to the vat before the temperature reaches 50°c. the temperature of adding dryingredients alsodepends on the typeof ingredients particularly stabilizer.

Pasteurization of Mix

Pasteurization is done to destroy all the pathogenic bacteria in the mix so as to renderthe final product safe for humanconsumption. in addition to this very important function,pasteurizationalsoreducesthenumberofspoilageorganismssuchaspsychrotrophs,andthesemethodsareusedbasedon the typeofmixand the timerequired forcalculationshelps to hydrate some of the components (proteins, stabilizers). Both batch (69°c/30min) and continuous (80°c/25 sec or 135-149°c for few sec) methods are used for mixpasteurization.

Advantages of pasteurization are:

l it renders the mix entirely freeof pathogenic bacteria

Page 75: Dairy Products Technology (Dairy Technology)

Dairy Products Technology 67

l it helps in blending the ingredients of themix

l it improves flavour

l it improves keeping quality

l it produces amoreuniformproduct

Homogenization of Mix

Homogenization is an important step in cream for making permanent emulsion of fat.two-stage homogenization is usually preferred for ice cream mix. clumping or clusteringof the fat is reduced thereby producing a thinner, more rapidly whipped mix. Melt-downpropertyof icecreamisalso improved.other thanreducingfatglobulessizeandformingemulsion, homogenization have some indirect advantages like it makes a smoother icecream, results in better air stability andalso increases resistance tomelting.

Homogenization of the mix should take place at the pasteurizing temperature.the hightemperatureproducesmoreefficientbreakingupofthefatglobulesatanygivenpressureand also reduces fat clumping and the tendency to thick, heavy bodied mixes. if a twostage homogenizer is used, a pressure of 2000 - 2500 psi on the first stage and 500 -1000 psi on the second stage shouldbe satisfactory undermost conditions.

Cooling the Mix

Mix should be cooled immediately after homogenization to 0-5°c and held at the sametemperature until used. slow cooling of the mix increases viscosity and also results inice cream that does not melt smoothly. cooling to such a low temperature also retardsgrowth of bacteria.

ageing the Mix

the mix is then aged for at least four hours and usually overnight. two importantprocesses takeplaceduringageing.First, theemulsifiersadsorb to thesurfaceof the fatdroplets, replacing some of the milk protein. second, the fat inside the droplets beginsto crystallize. Fig. 2 shows the adsorbed emulsifier at the surface of the fat globule andpartiallycrystallizedfatinsideit.thesetwoprocessesassistinincorporatingandstabilizingair bubbles when the mix is frozen in the freezer.the ageing time, hence the extent offat crystallizationandemulsifier adsorption, dependson thenatureof themix.overnightageing is usually sufficient for all typesofmixes.

Fig. 3.2: Adsorption of milk proteins and emulsifiers at the surface of the fat droplet and crystallization of the fat

Freezing

ice cream mix after cooling and ageing is frozen in ice cream freezers. these freezerscan be of batch type or continuous.the ice-cream freezer converts mix into ice creamby simultaneously aerating, freezing and beating it, to generate the ice crystals, the airbubbles and the matrix.the freezer is a scraped-surface, tubular heat exchanger, whichis jacketed with a boiling refrigerant such as ammonia or Freon (Fig. 3). Mix is pumpedthrough this freezer and ice cream is drawn off within 30 seconds, (or 10 to 15 minutesin the case of batch freezers) with about 50% of its water frozen. As shown in fig 3.3,therearerotatingblades insidethebarrel thatkeepthe icescrapedoff thesurfaceof thefreezerandalsodashers inside themachinewhichhelp towhip themixand incorporate

Astheicecreamisdrawnfromthefreezers,particulatemattersuchasfruits,nuts,candy,cookies, etc. is added to the semi-frozen slurry which has a consistency similar tosoft-serve icecream. in fact,almost theonly thingwhichdifferentiateshard frozen icecreamfromsoft-serve, is the fact thatsoftserve isdrawn intoconesat thispoint in theprocessrather than into packages for subsequent hardening.

Hardening

When ice cream is drawn from freezer, its consistency is such that it can be filled incontainerslikecupsorinbulkpackages.Afterfillingintopacks,itisnecessarytolowerthetemperature of ice cream as quickly as possible.this is known as hardening. Hardeningof ice cream is essential to stabilize the microstructure of the product after freezing andair incorporation.

ice cream is hardened in a hardening tunnel, an enclosed chamber into which the icecreampassesonaconveyorbeltfromthefreezer.inside,coldair(typically-30°cto-45°c) isblownovertheicecream.thelowertheair temperatureandthefastertheairflow,the fasterheat is removed from the icecream.coldstores,whichare typicallyabout -25°c,arenotsuitable forhardeningbecausetheyarenotcoldenoughandhavestillair,sotheycannotcool the icecreamrapidlyenoughtominimizerecrystallization.Hardened icecream is then stored at temperature -23°c to -18°c soas to keep the structure stable.

Storage

theicecreamshouldbestoredinadeepfreezerat-18to-23°c.itshouldnotbeallowedto melt for two reasons: first this would allow any bacteria in the ice cream to grow andspoil the product, and secondly the air in the ice cream escapes and it loses its textureto become solid ice when re-frozen.When the molten ice cream re-freezes, ice crystalsformed are much larger than the crystals formed in freezers and the ice cream tastemore‘gritty’.

overrun: an Important attribute of Ice Cream

Asmentioned in theprevioussections, ice creammix is frozenwith continuousagitationand aeration.this process incorporates a significant amount of air in the product whichincreases its volume but the weight remains constant.that is the reason that ice cream(finishedproduct)isalwaysmeasuredinvolumenotinweight.theformulaeforcalculatingoverrun in ice creamare:

Frozen yoghurt is a type of frozen dessert wherein yoghurt is prepared first, it is mixedwith ice creammix inadefiniteproportion, sugar, fruits, colour and flavourand then themix frozen in thesamemanneras icecream is frozen.the resultantproduct isa frozenfermented product having consistency similar to ice cream.Frozen yogurt mix has a pHof 6.0 or titratable acidity of 0.30%.this titratable acidity is contributed both by yoghurtand ice cream mix. Most manufacturers use 10% of yogurt in their formulations. As aconsequence, frozenyogurt tastesverysimilar to low fat/non-fat icecream,withahintofyogurt flavor at the end. this flavor attribute is preferred by the consumer because theperceived health attributes of yogurt bacteria are available along with the popular tasteof low fat/non-fat ice cream.

Body and texture defect in ice cream may be due to faulty method of manufacturing,due to improper storage conditions or due to levels of various ingredients.

Coarse/Icy Texture:duetothepresenceof icecrystalsofbiggersizethatmakethemarenoticeable when the ice cream is eaten. optimum ice crystal size in ice cream rangesfrom20-50 microns.this defect is causedby:

l Fluctuating temperaturesduring storageanddistribution

l insufficient total solids (highwater content).

l insufficient stabilizer or poor stabilizer.

l insufficient aging of the mix

l slow freezing because ofmechanical condition of freezer.

l slowhardening

However, inthedairyindustry,thetermcondensedmilkiscommonlyusedwhenreferringto sweetened condensed wholemilk.

evaporated milk is the product obtained by evaporating a part of the water from milk(whole or skimmed)and subsequently sterilizing that concentrated milk.

evaporation unit and Classification of evaporators

An evaporation unit (Fig. 4.1) chiefly consists of: a vacuum evaporator operating asheat exchanger, a separator for the separation of vapour and concentrate, a condenserfor the vapour and equipment for the production of a vacuum and the removal of theconcentrate.

Description of a Batch Type evaporator or Vacuum Pan

the main components of a batch type evaporator or vacuum pan (Fig 2) are describedbelow:

Entrainment separator: during boiling of milk in the evaporator, the vapours produced

may carry the milk solids to the condenser which not only causes product losses but

milk thatpassfromthevacuumpanto thecondenseralongwith thehighvelocityvapour

currents. the latest designs of efficient entrainment separators are capable of reducing

entrainment losses to less than oneper cent.

Vapour condenser: in the condenser, milk vapour is condensed for maintaining the

desired vacuum and the entrained air and non-condensable gases are cooled to have a

smooth pan operation.the condensers may be either surface or spray types.the spray

condenser of the counter current type is generally used in milk condensery.the counter

current condenser makes highly efficient use of the water supply, makes possible the

advantageoususeofawater-coolingtowerorspraypond,andisparticularlyrecommended

in the tropics.

theamountofcoolingwater required in thecondenser isdeterminedby the temperature

of thewatersupply, thepanoperatingtemperatureandthetemperatureof thecondenser

of 1 kg of water contained in milk, in the tropics. it is desirable to use potable water in

the condenser because itmayget into the vacuumpan sometimes.

Vacuum producing equipment:duringevaporationofmilk, thevapours released in the

vacuumpanwill increase thepressure in thesurroundingswhich lead to the increase in

the boiling point of liquid.this will increase the energy inputs and also causes product

damage. Vacuum producing equipment produces and maintain vacuum in the plant by

removingcontinuouslynon-condensablegasesandair.Vacuumpumpsorsteamejectors

Classification of evaporators

evaporator development began in 1850’s and has resulted in many shapes, sizes and

types of units. evaporators may be classified mainly based on (i) method of circulation

of product: forced, natural; (ii) direction flow of film of product: rising film, falling film; (iii)

numberofevaporatorbodiesemployed: singleeffect, doubleeffectormulti effect.Falling

filmevaporatorsarecurrentlythemostsuitablemeansforconcentrating largeamountsof

milk for various purposes; (iv) continuity of operation: batch, continuous.the description

of a few well-knownevaporators with their particulars is brieflygivenbelow:

Circulation or vertical tube evaporators:tubescarryingthesteaminternallyareplaced

vertically in the bottom of the cylindrical evaporator, chamber. it is popularly known as

calandria evaporator. As a single pass through the tube heat exchanger is usually not

sufficienttoachievetherequireddegreeofconcentration,theproductisreturnedbymeans

of the circulation tube.cleaning and inspection is easy.

Horizontal tube evaporators:incertainconditions,if,for,example,thereislimitedvertical

space for installation, the tubularheatexchangercanbeusedasahorizontalevaporator.

toensure thatboth the topand thebottom tubesarecoveredwith liquid, theevaporator

uppermosttube.steamentersachestononeendofthetubes,movesthroughthetubes

and the condensate is removed from the chest at the opposite end while the vapour is

removed from the top of the cylindrical chamber.

Plate evaporators:theplateevaporatorischaracterizedbyalargeheatexchangesurface

occupying a relatively small space. Like the plate heat exchanger, it is constructed from

profiled plates with the condensing steam used as heating medium and the evaporating

productpassingbetweenalternatepairs.thecapacityofaplateevaporatorcanbealtered

by changing the number of plates.

Forced circulation evaporators:Whenhighlyviscousproductsaretobeevaporated, the

forces which normally move the liquid along are not sufficient to transport the product

satisfactorily. centrifugal or positive pumps are used for forced circulation of viscous

abnormal milk should be accepted. Platform tests like Alcohol and clot-on-boiling (coB)tests must be carried out to check the heat stability of the milk which determines itsacceptance for condensing.

Cooling: After receiving at platform, the raw milk should be immediately cooled to 5°cor below to retard the deteriorative changesdue to bacterial growth.

Clarification/filtration:Filtrationiscarriedouttoremovethecoarseparticles,visibledustor dirt from the raw milk. clarification is done to remove tiny feed particles, leucocytesand blood cells, etc. from milk. generally clarification/filtration is carried out before orafter standardization.

Standardization:standardizationmilktoarequiredfatandsnFratio(1:2.44)isgenerallydone to conform to legal standards in the finished product. the standardization of rawmilk is usually done by the additionof skimmedmilk or cream.

Hence, the excess calcium and magnesium content in milk should be correctedbytheadditionoftrisodiumcitrateordisodiumphosphatewhichisknownasstabilization.stabilizationofsalts isnecessary in theprocessingofbuffalomilk intoscM,becauseofthe high calciumcontent of buffalo milk.

Forewarming: Forewarming helps in controlling the age thickening and gelation of theproduct during storage. it also helps in bacterial destruction and in feeding milk to thevacuum pan at a high enough temperature so as not to depress the boiling.the exacttemperature-time of heating is so controlled as to provide optimum viscosity in themanufactured product without inducing excessive thickening or thinning during storage.Forewarming at 115 to 118°c by flash heating is recommended for condensed milksmanufacture.

Addition of sugar: sugar acts as a preservative in sweetened condensed milk. thereare different methods of sugar addition; however, addition of sugar as 65 to 70 per centsyrupinwatertothepartlyconcentratedmilkinthevacuumpanwhenthetotalsolidsareabout30 to31percent ispreferred.thesyrup isheat treated to85-90°cwithaholdingof20-30minutestodestroyyeast,mouldandbacteria,filteredanddrawnintothevacuum

After the addition of sugar, the concentration isfurther continued until the desired total solids (74- 75 per cent) are reached as testedby specific gravity or refractometer and the product is pumped to the cooling vat. it isnecessary that all pipelines, pumps and vats should be thoroughly sanitized since anybacterial contamination after forewarmingof themilkwill persist in theproduct.

Concentration: the forewarmed milk is concentrated under vacuum in a pre-sterilizedvacuum pan, until the required total solids are attained. the product should cover theheating tubes before steam intake so as to prevent scorching. the product should bemaintained at a uniform level by controlling the rate of fresh product intake. excessivelyrapidboiling isavoidedas it is likely to increaseentrainment losses. inorder to stop theevaporator, the following steps should be taken in the sequence given: turn off steam;turn off water to- the condenser; stop the vacuum pump; and open the vacuum relief.the Baume Hydrometer test is most commonly used for density tests of pan samplesin order to know the right time for striking the batch.this term indicates that the correctconcentration asdeterminedby thedensity tests hasbeen reached.

Homogenization:Homogenizationprocessisoptionalforcondensedmilkpreparationandisperformedbefore theproduct iscooled.Homogenization renderauniform fatemulsionand reduces fat separation to a minimum during storage. Homogenization is carried outat a total pressure of 2500 psi (2000 psi in the first stage and 500 psi in the secondstage).

from the filling room for labelling either on the machine or manually, followed by casingand storage.

Storage:thesweetenedcondensedmilkdoesnot require refrigeratedstorage,althoughfor long shelf-life, particularly in tropical countries, storage at 10-15°c under controlledhumidity conditions (to avoid rustingof the cans) is recommended.

Defects in Sweetened Condensed Milk

Microbial growth and physico-chemical changes leads to defects in the sweetenedcondensed milk during storage. Buttons, gas production and thickening are some ofthe common microbiological defects that occur due to the growth of mold, yeast andbacterial, respectively.thephysico-chemicalchangescausedefects likediscolorationandbrowning, stale or cooked flavours, age thickening and gelation which can be retardedby low temperature storage. other defects like fat separation, thinning, sediment andsandiness can be controlled by proper forewarming and lactose crystallization conditionsat manufacture.

Processing, Packaging and Storage of evaporated Milk

evaporated milk is a commercially sterile product and does not contain sugar. A flowdiagram for itsmanufacture is given inFig. 4.4.

Reception of milk - Evaporation: theprocessingstepsfromreceptionofmilktoevaporationaresimilar to thesweetenedcondensedmilkmanufacture,except thatnosugar isaddedand concentration is usually done in amultiple effect evaporator.

clarification of milk is preferable to filtration and the main purpose of forewarming is toimprove the heat stability of milk and ensure a medium viscosity in the finished product.Forewarmingduring themanufactureofevaporatedmilk isnot reliedupon fordestructionof micro-organismsand inactivationof enzymes,which is taken careof by sterilization.

Homogenization: Unlike, in case of sweetened condensed milk, homogenization of the

concentrated milk is an essential step to prevent fat separation in the evaporated milk

manufacture during its storage. two-stage homogenization is generally recommended,

2000 psi in the first stage and 500psi in the second.

Cooling:theconcentratedhomogenizedmilkiscooledto8-10°ctoretardthedeteriorative

re-standardization of fat and total solids.

during sterilization, it is difficult to predict correctly the behaviour of the product during

sterilization. Hence, each batch is tested by pilot sterilization test. this is done by

packaging the product in small 125-150 ml cans and sterilizing at 116-118°c for 15-16

minutes followed by rapid cooling. the cans are then opened and examined for colour

smoothness and viscosity. if flakes are observed, stabilization of the concentrated milk

needs to be done with trisodium citrate or polyphosphates or a combination of both.

the quality of sterilized product is tested again before canning. the calculated amount

of stabilizer should be added to the evaporated milk in the form of a solution, using just

enough water to dissolve it.

Canning: theconcentratedmilk is packaged in cleandry cans leavingaheadspaceof

0.5 to 0.7 cm in the automatic filling machine. the temperature of the evaporated milk

when filling in to the cans should bearound5°c.

Sterilization: Leaky cans are eliminated by passing them through a hot water bath and

if there are pin holes air escapes out as bubbles and such tins are removed.the filled

cans are sterilized either in a batch or continuous sterilizer. Agitation of the product by

rotatingthecansinthesterilizerispreferredduringsterilizationtogiveuniformheatingand

acceptable viscosity to the product. A successful sterilizing routine consists of a coming

up time between 15-20 minutes, a holding temperature of 116-118°c, a holding time of

not less than 15minutesand a cooling timeof notmore than15minutes.

Cooling: immediatelyafter theholding time is over, theevaporatedmilk is cooledwithin

15 minutes to 27-32°c.delayed coolingmay cause the cans to bulge.

Shaking: the purpose of shaking is to mechanically break down any mass which may

have formedduringsterilization toasmoothhomogeneousconsistency.Ashakingperiod

of 15 seconds to two minutes is usually sufficient. excessive shaking should be avoided

as it decreases the viscosity.

Storage: A storage temperature of 5 to 16°c is generally used. commercial evaporated

milkremainsacceptableuptotwoyearswhenstoredbelow16°cbutdeterioratesrapidly

at 21°c or above. inversion of the cans during storagehelpsminimize fat separation.

Defects in evaporated Milk

thedefectsoccurring in theevaporatedmilkaresimilar to thoseoccurring insweetenedcondensed milk although microbiological defects do not occur usually unless the tinsare leaky or heat treatment is insufficient. the physico-chemical defects that occur areflavour defects like cooked, stale, oxidized flavours and excessive browning, sediment,age- thickeningand fat separation.

Spray Drier operations

Heating air: Air for drying is filtered and heated before it passes through the atomizedproduct. Filtering is normally done by mechanical means. Air may be heated with anindirectheater,suchassteam;adirectfired indirectheaterwhichburns the fuelwith theheat transferredacross themetalsurface to theairorwithadirect-firedunit inwhich theproducts of combustion enter the drier. Most spray driers have been of the indirect typebut many new installations are made with direct-fired units. radiators with steam at 50to 100 psi have been quite common as a means of heating.the air is heated to about150-260°c for drying milk and milk products; the outlet air exhausted from the dryingchamber usually ranges from 100-105°c. the relative humidity of the drying air is alsoquite lowe.g. three to four per cent.

Air flow: the air must be properly and uniformly directed into and through the dryingchamber otherwise, the heat in the air will not be utilized efficiently and a partially driedproductmayaccumulateonthe insideedgeof thedrier.Airstraighteningvanesareusedatbendsintheductstodirecttheairintothedryingchamberandto;reducethepressuredrops.

Atomization:the purpose of atomization is to obtain many small particles with a largesurface area, preferably uniform in size generally ranging from 50-180 ìm in diameter.Uniformparticlesprovide: (a)superior instantizingproduct (b) reducedproduct losses (c)lessoverandunderdryingand(d)moreefficientdrying.the largesurfaceareaprovideseasy transfer of heat to the droplet and transfer ofmoistureaway from thedroplet.

there are three major methods of atomizing: pressure nozzle, centrifugal disc andcompressed air.

a) Pressure nozzle: A high pressure pump such as a three-or-five piston homogenizerpump is used for generating pressures from 1500 to 5000 psi. the milk is forcedunder high pressure through a small orifice and is atomized instantly. the higherthe pressure or smaller the orifice, the finer the particle size of the mist, and vice-versa.

b) Centrifugal spinning discs:thedeviceconsistsofa radialvaneddisc throughwhichthe product moves. the speed, at which the disc revolves, varies from 19000 to30000 rpm for discs with usual diameters. the disc atomizer permits considerablevariation incapacityand isparticularlyuseful forviscousmaterialsand formaterialsin suspension.

c) Compressed air: Atomization is producedbypassing compressedair or steamoveranopeningleadingtotheliquidusuallyapipe.theunitoperatessimilartoaperfumesprayer. this two- nozzle system, wherein the second material is air or steam isinexpensive in initial cost but extensive to operate.

Separation of air and powder:themoistair leaving thedriercarrieswith itsomedriedproduct which needs to be separated for better yield and preventing air pollution. thismaybe achieved either inside the drier or outside it.the relatively largeparticles,whichmay constitute approximately 80 per cent or more of the yield respond to the force ofgravityandgetdepositedon thesidesordrop to thefloorofthechamber.themilkfinesbecome entrained in the air currents andare recoveredbymechanicalmeans.

Recovery of fines: there are principally three types of devices in use for recovery offines:

a) Filter bag: it consists of a seriesof filters of cottonorwool of very fineweave.theair is drawn through these bags and deposits the entrained milk particles in theirmeshes. Losses range from0.2 to 0.5 per cent.

b) Liquid dust collector: the incoming fresh milk is pumped in a closed tank and theexhaustairescapingfromthedryingchamberismadetopassthroughthistank.the

milk dust in the spent air from the drying chamber gets deposited in the incomingfresh milk.

c) Cyclone separator:the cyclone separator is most commonly used for removing thedry product from the air. Air at a high velocity moves into a cylinder or cone whichhas a much larger cross section than the entering duct. the velocity of the air isdecreased in the cone, thus permitting the settling of the solids. cyclones can beused individually or in combination to providemulti-cycloneunits.

Introduction to Dairy Byproducts

A byproduct may be defined as a product of commercial value produced during themanufactureofamainproduct.duringtheprocessingandconversionofmilk intovariousmilk products some byproducts are also generated. skim milk, buttermilk, ghee residueand whey are the main dairy byproducts. separation of milk for obtaining cream resultsin skim milk, separation of butter from cream results in buttermilk, ghee residue is thatfractionofcreamorbutter that is leftoutwhentheyareconverted intoghee.Whey is thewatery portion obtained during the manufacture of cheese, casein, paneer, chhana, and

skimmilk isproducedbyseparationofcreamfrommilk indairyprocessing.skimmilk isrich in solid not fat (snF) content and is used for standardization of milk, preparation ofskimmilkpowderandcoffeewhitener. it isregardedasabyproductonlywhenit iseithernot economically utilized or has to be utilized for the manufacture of derived byproductslikecaseininsmallquantities.caseinandcaseinatesarepreparedfromskimmilkandusedin foodpreparations, specialized foodsand innon-foodusessuchas in themanufactureof plastics, etc.

Whey,thegreenishtranslucentliquidisobtainedduringthemanufactureofcheese,casein,chhana, paneer, chakka and co-precipitates and has been viewed until recently as oneof the major disposal problems of the dairy industry. depending on the type of sourcewhey is called as cheese whey, paneer whey, etc.the chemical quality of whey slightlydiffers depending on the source. due to the presence of significant amount of organicmatter (6-7% total solids) in the form of protein, lactose, fat, minerals and water-solublevitamins, its disposal causes environmental pollution. the biological oxygen demand ofwhey is very high (40,000 mg/kg or more), constituting a major economic burden to bedisposedofasawastematerial.However,wheybeingasourceofpreciousnutrients likelactose, whey proteins, minerals and vitamins, some economical prepositions has beenevolved to utilize it. Utilization of this by-product in the human food chain is now beingpredominantly favoured due to the economic opportunities provided by the milk nutrientscontained inwhey. it is thebasematerial formanufactureofnotonlynutritionalproductslike whey protein concentrates (WPc) and lactose, but also the base for manufacture ofwhey drinks and dietetic beverages.

Lactose production from whey can be economically feasible only when it is producedon large scale. generally, sweet whey is preferred because of its high lactose and lowashcontent. in caseofacidwhey,neutralisation isnecessary.thiswill change thewheycharacteristics and also increase the cost of manufacture. Lactose can be produced byusingultrafiltration(UF)permeateasarawmaterial,butUFpermeate,particularlytheacidwheypermeate,hasaveryhighcalciumcontent.removalofapproximately50%calciumis necessary to avoid difficulties duringevaporation,whichmakes theprocess costly.

Buttermilk is produced when butter is made by churning cream (sweet cream) or wholemilk curd. sweet cream buttermilk that is produced in organized sector is preferred for

Skim Milk

Physico-chemical Properties of Skim Milk

Density

the density of milk is a resultant of the densities of its components. the density of agiven specimen of milk is determined by its percentage composition, by its temperatureand processing treatments.specificgravity of skimmilk at 15.5°c is 1.036.

Viscosity

the viscosity of the milk depends on the temperature and on the amount and state ofdispersion of the solid components. representative values at 20°c for skim milk is 1.5centiPoise (cP). caseinate micelles are the most important contributors to the viscosity.there is decline of viscosity from 5 to 30°c, reflecting a decrease in voluminosity of thecaseinatemicelles.Above30°c, thedecrease is lessmarkeduntilabout65°c,wherethewhey proteins begin to bedenatured.

Surface and interfacial tension

the area of contact between two phases is called “interface”, or especially if one of thephasesisgaseous,the“surface”.Propertiesof interfacesandsurfacesaredeterminedbythe number, kind and orientation of molecules located in them. surface tension of skimmilk at 20°c is 51dynes per cm.

Refracting index

refracting indexofasubstance isdefinedas the ratioof thespeedof light inavacuumto its speed in that substance. one consequence of refraction is to change the directionof a light ray as it enter or leave the substance. Measurement of this bending gives adirect measure of refractive index. refractive index of skim milk falls in the range of1.344-1.348.

Solubility

Between pH 3.5 and 5.5, caseins are very insoluble which restricts its use in low pHfoods.

Heat stability

skim milk normally withstands heating at 140°c for 20 min, while concentrated skimmilk (20% ts) is usually stable at 120°c for 20 min. Heat induced interaction betweenbetalactoglobulinandkappacaseinplaysamajorroleindeterminingtheheatstabilityandrennet clotting behaviour ofmilk.

Casein and Caseinates

An important utilization of skim milk is in the production of casein. casein, the principalprotein in milk, has been produced commercially for more than a century. edible caseinis a long established dairy byproduct finding its use as an ingredient in many dairy andfoodproducts.thegeneraldevelopment in technologiesand thenewuses in foodshaveincreasedtheproductionanddemandofthisbyproduct.Manufactureofediblecaseindiffersfrom that of non-edible casein (also called industrial casein).edible casein is producedunder sanitary conditions, with the use of food grade chemicals and sufficiently heattreated to make it safe for human consumption.edible non-animal rennet casein is theproduct obtained after washing and drying the coagulum remaining after separating thewheyfromtheskimmedmilkwhichhasbeencoagulatedbynon-animalrennetorbyothercoagulatingenzymes.ediblecaseinatemeans thecaseinproductobtainedby reactionofedible casein or fresh casein curd with food grade neutralizing agents which have beensubjected to anappropriate heat treatment. itmaybe sprayor roller dried.

casein proteins, which comprise approximately 80% of the total proteins of fluid milk,are distinguished from the so-called whey proteins by their insolubility and tendency toprecipitateandcoagulateattheisoelectricpoint(pH4.6).caseinisolatedbyadjustingthepH of skim milk to 4.6 is generally known as acid-casein, although this product is morespecifically defined by the type of acid used to reduce the pH of milk to the isoelectricpoint i.e.hydrochloric,phosphoricor lacticcasein. incommercialpractice,pHadjustmentisachievedeitherbydirectadditionof theappropriateacid toskimmilkor in thecaseoflacticacid,by formationof lacticacid from lactose fermentationusingabacterial culture.Althoughcaseinisaheterogeneousmixtureofseveralindividualcaseincomponents(a,b,k)eachofwhichhasslightlydifferentproperties,forthepurposeofcommercialproduction,whole caseinwhich contains all these components is considered.

casein may be classified based on the use or based on the type of coagulant used.Basedontheuse,asalreadymentioned,it isclassifiedintoedibleandnon-ediblecasein.Based on the type of coagulant used it is classified into acid casein and rennet casein.Acid casein can be further classified into direct acidified(with mineral acids) casein suchashydrochloricacidcasein,sulphuricacidcasein,etc., lacticcaseinproducedbygrowthof lactic starter culture and rennet casein, obtained by using rennet as the coagulant.thegeneralrequirementsofnon-animalrennetcaseinandacidcaseinasspecifiedbytheFssr (2011) are given in table 5.2. the product should also meet the microbiologicalrequirements specified by the Fssr.

Tempering: tempering is the process of adjusting the temperature of skim milk forprecipitation.thetemperatureshouldbecarefullycontrolledduringprecipitation,sincethecaseincurd issensitive toheat.thedouble jacketedvat isusuallyused for thispurpose.the effect of the temperature on the character of curd is given intable5.3.

Precipitation:caseinexists inmilkasacalcium-caseinate-phosphatecomplex.AtaboutpH 5.3, the casein begins to precipitate from the solution and at the isoelectric point ofcasein,about4.7pH, themaximumprecipitationoccurs. if thepH is toohigh(above4.8)in the coagulum, then the resultant curd is likely to be large, sticky and rubbery due tohigh calcium content and difficulty to wash thoroughly. it will tend to have a dark colour.the casein may have a high calcium and ash content, high viscosity and poor solubility.ontheotherhand,ifthepHofthecoagulumistoolow(pH4.4orless),thentheresultantcurd will be fine and losses during washing and separation will be high.the casein willthenhaveahighacidity. in this case, thepHof thecoagulum ispreferably increasedbyadding fresh skim milk (about 5 litres of fresh skim milk is required to raise the pH of100 litresof coagulum by 0.1 pHunit).

Draining and washing:the longer thecaseincurdstands in thewhey, themoredifficultit become to remove the impurities like whey proteins, lactose, salts and acid. Hence,the whey is removed promptly.the first step in this regard is to allow the curd to settleand then push it back from the outlet end of the vat. next, the outlet strainer is fixed inpositionandanothercloth-linedstrainerhungat thedischargeendof thegate to recoversmallcurdparticles.then thewhey isdrainedoffpromptly.Assoonas thewheyceasesto run freely,wash-water isadded inquantitiesapproximatelyequal to theamountof thewhey removed.the wash-water is made acidic (pH 4.1) especially for the first washing.the curd is well-stirred in the wash-water, but care is taken not to break it into fineparticles. it is then allowed to settle and the wash-water drained is drained as did inearlier occasions. At least two washings are required. As a rule of thumb, the amountof wash-water required to adequately wash casein curd in the vat is approximately 0.7litres per one kg of skim milk. All the whey and wash-water contain some fine particlesofcaseincurdcalled“caseinfines”,whichcanbe removed from thewheyorwash-water

Pressing:At thestage immediatelyprior todryingsomeformofmechanicalexpulsionofwater from the curd is necessary so that the cost of evaporating the remaining water inthecurd isminimized.thewet curd ispressed to removeasmuchwateraspossiblebyusinganyofthefollowingmethods:dewateringincheesehoops,pressingincanvasbags,rollerpress,movingbeltpress,screwpressandcentrifugaldewatering.normally it isnotpossible to reduce the moisture level in thepressed curd to less than55per cent.

Milling and spreading: After being pressed, the curd is milled to produce particles of auniform size and surface for drying. if it is not milled it dries unevenly.the pressed curdshouldbepromptlymilledanddried, inorder topreventspoilagebymouldandbacteria.Milling should be of the shredding variety.the milled curd should be evenly spread overstandard perforated trayswith a fixedamount of curd to ensureadequate drying.

Drying:drying is theprocessof removalofwater fromcaseincurd tobelow8per cent.it isessential to control the temperatureandhumidityof the inletair correctly if thecurdis to be efficiently dried. once started, drying should not be interrupted till the moisturecontent has been reduced to less than 8 per cent.the inlet air temperature may rangefrom70to77°cwhiletheoutletairtemperatureshouldbebetween52and57°cinorderto avoid the risk of discolouring the caseinand impairing its solubility.

Grinding: After proper cooling, casein is ground. Warm casein becomes plastic in agrinderandsticks to it.thefinenessofgrindingdependson the requirementof theuser.Uniformity in the sizeof the ground casein is ensuredbypassing it through the screensof a particularmesh size.

Packaging and storage:the dried casein, whether finely ground or partially ground, isnormally packaged either in jute bags lined with closely woven cloth or in heavy 3-plypaper bags with polyethylene liners.the filled packages of casein should be closed air-tight and transferred to a clean, dry storage room. Wide variations in the storage roomcausecasein to “sweat andmould”. if stored inadampatmosphere, itwill absorbwateranddeteriorate.For longstorage, it isbest tostorecasein inabasementaway from thesun.

Yield:the yield of casein is roughly equal to the percentage of casein in the skim milkand may vary from 2.8 to 3.2 per cent, depending on whether it is cow or buffalo skimmilk.

Casein suspension and solubilization:thefreshcaseincurdpassedfromade-wateringdevice (about 45% solids) is minced and the finely-divided curd is mixed with water at40°c to give a solid content of 25-30% solids. if dried casein is used, it is ground andheldinwaterforsometimesothatitabsorbswaterandbecomessoft.caseinsuspensionis then passed through the colloidal mill.the temperature of the emerging slurry, whichmay have the consistency of ‘toothpaste’, should be below 45°c, since it has beenobservedthatmilledcurdcanre-agglomerateathigher temperatures.themaindifficultiesexperienced in the conversion of acid casein to sodium caseinate are: (a) very high

Addition of alkali and pH control: sodium hydroxide solution (2.5 M) is pumped intothe casein slurry at about 45°c.the quantity of sodium hydroxide required is generally1.7-2.2percentbyweightof thecaseinsolids.otheralkalissuchassodiumbicarbonateor sodium phosphates may be used, but the amounts required and their cost is bothgreater than thoseofsodiumhydroxide.theadditionof thedilutealkalimustbecarefullycontrolled with the aimof reachinga final caseinatepHof 6.6-7.0.

Drying of sodium caseinate solution:the homogeneous sodium caseinate solution isusually spray dried in a stream of hot air. in order to ensure efficient atomization of thesodiumcaseinate solution, itmust havea constant viscosity as it is fed to thedrier. it iscommon practice to minimise the viscosity by preheating the solution to a temperatureof 90-95°c just prior to spray drying. However, care should be taken to minimise thetime for which the caseinate solution is at high temperature. the total solid content ofthesolutiondestined forspraydrying rangesbetween20and25percent.Atabout20%solid concentration of the sodium caseinate solution, approximately 4 kg of water needto be evaporated to produce 1 kg of powder.the low solids content of the feed solutionproduces a spray-dried powder with a low bulk density. the moisture content of spray-dried sodium caseinate should be less than5per cent for satisfactory storage.

Alternatively to reduce cost, increase processing rate during caseinate manufacture andcontrol the properties of the resulting powders, include: production of roller dried sodiumcaseinate by feeding a mixture of curd (50-65% moisture) and an alkaline sodium salt(na2co3 or naHco3) onto the drying drum of a rollerdrier. sodium caseinate with goodflavour and a high bulk density could be produced by using the roller drier at relativelylow steam pressure (i.e. lowdrying temperature).

whey and whey Protein Concentrate

Whey is the largest by-product of the dairy industry. it may be defined, broadly, as thewaterypartofmilkremainingafterseparationofthecurdthatresultsfromthecoagulationof milk by acid or proteolytic enzymes.it is obtained during the manufacture of cheese,casein, paneer, chhana, and shrikhand. in india, milk products like paneer, shrikhand,andchhanaareverypopularandareingreatmarketdemand,whilecheeseconsumptionis steadily increasing due to changing food habits. With the increase in their productionlevels, there is a corresponding increase in the whey as a byproduct. in general, themanufactureof1tonneofcheeseorcaseinresults intheproductionof8or25tonnesofliquid whey, respectively.Whey is a multicomponent solution of various water-soluble milkconstituents inwater; thedrymatterofwheyconsistsprimarilyofcarbohydrate (lactose),protein (several chemically different whey proteins) and various minerals.normal bovinemilk contains about 3.5% of protein, of which casein constitutes 80% and whey proteins20%. Liquid whey, contains approximately 20% of the original proteins of milk rangingfrom4 to7g/ltofwhich3.7g is /ß-Lactoglobulin,0.6g is /a–Lactalbumin,0.3g isBovineserum Albumin, and 1.4g is proteose – peptone fractions. in addition, it contains otherproteins such as lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, ceruloplasmin, and milk enzymes such aslysozyme, lipase, and xanthine oxidase,whichpresent in low concentrations.

there is wide variation in composition of the whey depending on milk supply and theprocess involved in the production (table 5.4). in general, whey produced from rennet-coagulated cheeses and casein is sweet whey, whereas the production of acid caseinand fresh acid cheeses, such as ricotta or cottage cheese, yields acid whey.When weuse rennet,mostpartof calciumandphosphorusof thecaseincomplex remainwith thecurd. the ash content of the whey is, therefore, less than when the coagulating agentis acid, which transfers part of the phosphorus and most of the calcium to the whey.Production of chhana and paneer yields medium acid whey. Based on acidity, whey canbe conveniently classed into three groups namely sweet whey, medium acid whey andacid whey (table 5.5).

Physical Properties of whey

Whey is the greenish translucent liquid. the greenish colour of most types of whey,regardlessoftheprocessingconditionsused,iscausedbythewater-solubleandheat-stableriboflavin.However,riboflavinissensitivetolightaswellastoionizingradiationtreatmentsandwheysystemsexposedtotheseconditionswillshowfadingofthegreencolour.Wheyhas mixed flavours such as acidic flavour caused due to volatile and non-volatile acids;saltiness and astringency. neutralization of the whey, however, results in change oftheseflavourcharacteristics.thesurfacetensionofwheyislow(42dynes/cm)comparedtothatofskimmilk(48dynes/cm).theviscosityofwheyat20°cis1.26centipoise(cP).However,it decreases with increasing temperaturesandhydrolysis of lactose.

whey Powder

conversion of wheyto whey powder is the one of the options to preserve whey solids.Whey powder is essentially produced by the same method as other milk powders.composition of whey can be modified by removal of lactose and minerals to give wheyproteinproductsof15to40percentproteinondrymatterbasis.thematerialthatremainsafter lactose has been crystallized and separated from concentrated whey is known asdelactosedwheypowder,whichcontainsabout25percentprotein.delactosedwheypowderhas a high mineral concentration (up to 25 percent). Whey powder when subjected toelectrodialysis results in demineralized whey powder. Whey powder production consistsof three main operations: evaporation, crystallization, and drying. during evaporationwhey isconcentrated to42 to60percent totalsolids.Lactosecrystallization isnecessaryprior to drying of whey because lactose is amorphous and sticky in nature.this causesproblemsduringdrying.Hence, lactose isconverted intocrystalline /-hydrate form.Whendried conventionally without lactose crystallization, whey concentrates yield powder thatareveryhygroscopicandthemanufacturerrunstheriskofthepowdercakingonstorage,

or even in the drier. in addition, the efficiency of the drying is reduced, since it is notpossible to concentrate whey to solids content greater than 42 to 45 percent total solidsfor a non-crystalline product.the advantage of lactose crystallization lies both in energysavings and in improvedpowder properties.

in single-stage drying, the product is dried to its final moisture content in the spray-drying chamber alone. Usually liquid whey is concentrated by evaporating moisture init to achieve total solids content of about 45 to 60 percent. the concentrated whey ispumped into thespraydryingchamber throughacentrifugal (rotating)atomizer.the inletair temperature varies from150 to200°cwhile theoutlet air temperature is about 85°c.Asageneralrule,outletairtemperatureshouldbeaslowaspossible,buthighenoughtoprevent thepowder fromstickingand leavingadeposit (fouling) in thesprayingchamber.Air,evaporatedmaterials,andpowderfinesaredirected through thesystemofcyclones,wherepowderparticlesareseparated from themixtureofhotairanddriedsolids.Wheypowder thusobtained iscooledwithcoldairandpneumatically transported tosiftingandpackaging equipment.

whey Protein recovery from whey

Whey proteins are recovered from whey either in the form of whey protein concentrates(WPc)orwheyprotein isolates(WPi).WPccontainabout35to80percentondrymatterbasis,whileWPicontainmore than90percentproteinondrymatterbasis.theprincipalmanufacturingprocessesofwheyproteinproductsarebasedonknownbehaviourofwheycomponents under defined conditions.

Heat Precipitation Process

Whey proteins may be precipitated (and thereby rendered insoluble in water) by heatingwheyatacidornear-neutralpH. inorder toprecipitatewheyproteins,acidwheymustbeheatedtoat least90°candmaintainedat that temperatureforat least10mintoachievemaximumyields.Forsweetwhey,goodyieldscanbeobtainedbyheatingatpHbetween6.0 and 6.5.However, such whey protein contains higher mineral concentrations.Mineralconcentrations can be reduced when the pH is adjusted to 4.6 prior to protein removal.Precipitated proteins are removed by settling, followed by washing and dried. in modernplants, high speed centrifuges such as clarifiers and decanters are used for separationsthat followwashing.theprecipitate thusobtainedisdriedusingvariousdrying techniquesto obtain wheyprotein powders.

Molecular Separation Process

the aim of manufacture of whey protein products is to separate proteins from whey insuch a form that they remain, as far as possible, fully undenatured and thus retain theirfunctionality.Molecularseparationprocessesaidinproducingwheyproteinsinundenaturedform. Ultrafiltration (UF) is a molecule separation process where components of a liquidare separated based on their difference in size. it is low energy consuming process andis being widely used in the dairy industry to recover whey proteins. the dairy industrytypically uses membranes with a molecular weight cut off of 10,000 daltons. thus, anycomponentsmallerthan10,000daltonswillbepartofthepermeatefraction.Ultrafiltrationretains intheliquidproductanyinsolublematerialorsolutes largerthanabout20,000damolecularweight.suchretained liquidwithmaterials in it is termedasretentate.therestof thewheystreampassesthroughthemembrane,drivenbytheappliedpressureand iscalledpermeate.UFofwheyenables thewheyprotein tobeseparatedfromthe lactose,mineral and other water-soluble low-molecular-weight species (Fig. 5.5).

Fig. 5.5: Principle of ultrafiltration process of whey

UF is a major means of producingWPc throughout the world. With this process, 90 to95 percent of the proteins in the whey are recovered. WPc is commonly characterisedby its protein content on dry basis (e.g.WPc-80 has 80 percent protein on dry basis).in order to achieve higher protein values (up to 90 percent of dry matter), one or morediafiltration steps may follow.the process of addition of water to the retentate is calledas diafiltration. diafiltrationreduces the viscosity and concentration of lactose, ash, andnPn in the retentate.A typical commercial scaleUFplant is shown inFig. 5.6.

Hence, whey, regardless of type, usually must be filtered or

centrifuged to remove suspended cheese or casein particles and for cheese whey, toremove fat also. Manufacturing process of whey protein concentrate (WPc) involvesseparation for fat and fines from whey followed by pasteurization and cooling to 55°c.Holding of whey at a temperature higher than the UF temperature (60-70°c) causesthe precipitation of calcium phosphate to take place in the balance tank itself. However,there is much less tendency for the precipitation of calcium phosphate in the membranesystem.Whey is then pumped into UF plant, from which WPc is produced (retentate)based on the principle as shown in Fig.5. Also a protein depleted permeate (the streamwhich passes through the semi permeable membrane) is produced.the protein contentof the retentate stream will depend on the volume of permeate removed from the whey.dueto theUFtreatment, the totalsolidsconcentration in theretentateincreasesup to25percent.Astheproteincontentincreases,thefatcontentincreasesandlactose,moisture,and ash contents decrease.the membranesnot only retain theprotein, but also the fat.ontheotherhand,inthisprocesslactoseandmineralsarelostinthepermeateresultingin their proportional decrease in the remaining solids.With diafiltration, the protein purityof the product improves significantly. the UF retentate, thus obtained is evaporated to25 to 40 percent solids using an evaporator and subjected to spray drying for obtainingWPc powder.the resulting powder may be blended to ensure good product uniformity,and thenbagged.Low-temperatureprocessing isnecessary for themanufactureofWPcbecause of the heat sensitivity of theproduct.

the concentration of whey to particular total solids is very critical because, a high totalsolidsconcentratewill be tooviscous topump,whilea lower total solidsconcentratewillresult in insufficient lactose crystallisation. the UF permeate is concentrated to a solidcontent of 60 percent or more. this is performed either by a pre-concentration throughreverseosmosis,followedbyevaporationormerelybyevaporation.reverseosmosis,whenemployedasapre-concentrationstep,hasthepotentialforremovingamajorportionofthewater from whey or permeate more economically and in more energy efficient way thanthe evaporator process. evaporation is carried out in falling film multi-effect evaporatorsfor economic reasons.the concentration processmust be conducted in suchaway thatno lactose crystallisation takes place in evaporator andpiping.

Sensory Evaluation of Milk and Milk Products

Objectiveto check organoteptic properties ofmilk andmilk products.

IntroductionWhenever we go to market to buy any food item we prefer to purchase it according toour expected quality. For example if we go to buy a loaf of bread, we usually smell,pressorpat it todecide its freshness.Whilebuyingsweetswefirst look their colourandappearanceandsometimestaste itat theshopitself todecide itsdeliciousness.similarlyduring buying green vegetables we also look whether it is lush green and fresh or not.if it is wilted we don’t buy it. if we look closely while deciding the quality of the food inthesecasesweuseanyofourfivesenses that iseithereye, tongue,nose,skinandearor a combination of them. the process of determining the quality of any food by usinganyoracombinationofourfivesenses isknownassensoryevaluation.thereareotherprocesses to judge food products quality like determining its composition in terms of itsfat,protein,carbohydrateandvitamincontent todetermine it’snutritionalquality.similarlymicrobiological quality of any food reveals whether it is free from any disease causingmicroorganismsornot.However, even if a food is highlynutritiousandmicrobiologicallysafe, people will not consume it if it is not taste or sometimes looks good also.this isbecause human being consumes only that type of food which is delicious and providesthem enjoyment while eating. thus the quality of any food that is decided by sensoryevaluationmostlybecomes theprimarydeciding factor for itsacceptability.Amongall theprocessesofdetermining thequalityof foodssensoryevaluation is theoldestbecause itdoes not require anything other than the five senseswhicheveryhumanpossesses.

what is the Importance of Sensory evaluation?

the sensory evaluation is very important in product evaluation on account of followingadvantages:

1. it is relatively simpleanalytical process.

2. employing sensory evaluation techniques quality attributes like colour, appearance,flavour etc are measured in objective (quantifiable) manner. the use of chemicalandmicrobiologicalmethodsforexaminingqualityofmilkandmilkproductsaretimeconsuming, complicated and expensive.

3. itdirectlydeterminestheeatingqualityofmilkproductsthatcannotbedonebyotheranalytical techniques.

4. sensory evaluation helps to ensure that consumers get a defect free product thatprovides themgreat enjoymentwhile eating.

where Sensory evaluation is applied in a Dairy?

in recent years, the competition among the dairy product manufacturing companies hastremendously increased. the companies are making very fast changes in their existingproduct in terms of ingredients, composition, packaging etc. mainly to reduce cost.theyare developing new products to grab larger market share. in these situations, sensoryevaluationplayingamuchgreater role thanearlier.Usuallysensoryevaluation isused inthe following situations.

1. Inspection of raw materials: the main raw material for dairy industry is milk. Anydefectinqualityofmilkrelatedtocolour,appearance,aromaandtastecanbequicklydetected on the reception dock by the senses of smell, taste and sight. this veryimportanttoachievefinalproductofgoodqualityasfrominferiorqualityrawmaterialgoodqualityfinalproductcouldneverbeproduced.theotherrawmaterials thatarerequiredtoproducemilkproductssuchas,sugar,stabilizers,emulsifiers, ingredientsused to impart flavour and colour to foods and other additives are also examinedusing sensory evaluation.

2. new product development or improvement of existing product: According to asurveymorethan90%of thenewproducts launchedinthemarketresult intofailuremainly because of poor sensory attributes and rejection by the consumers. theadoption of appropriate sensory methods during new product development is thusvery important.

3. Cost reduction: cost is an important consideration for selection of the product byconsumers.dairyproductmanufacturesalwaystrytoreducethecostbyeitherusinglow cost ingredients or adopting new production techniques.the use of low cost oralterativeproductiontechnologiesmayadverselyinfluencethesensorycharacteristicsoftheproductandmaynotfindgoodacceptability.Henceafterapplyinganymodificationsensoryevaluationof thefinalproduct isalwaysperformedtoensurethat theeatingquality of the product never gets adversely affected.

4. Quality control: the modern day concept of ‘total Quality Management’ (tQM)involves quality evaluation at all stages of product manufacturing. the changes inproduct quality in terms of colour, flavour and texture during processing is regularlymonitored using sensory evaluation.

5. Selection of packaging material:today’squalityconsciousconsumersprefertobuyproperly packaged processed food. this has resulted into development of varioustypes of packaging materials for food applications. the newer types of packagingmaterials, particularly in forms of flexible films, pouches and laminates are beingdeveloped. the suitability of these films for packaging a particular dairy product inrespect of safe containment of the product, its non reactiveness with the productinsideandcompatibility tostorageconditions isexaminedadoptingsensoryanalysisalong with some chemical andmicrobiologicalmethods.

6. Shelf life studies: dairy products during storage undergo many types of chemicalchanges thatalter thesensoryproperties,suchas taste,colour,flavour, textureandappearance. Application of sensory evaluation not only monitors these changes butalso determine the nature and extent of the defects in dairy product during storagesothatcorrectivemeasurescanbeadopted.Aspertheexistinglaws,itismandatorythemention the‘bestbefore’dateorperiodon the labelofanypackaged.thisdateis determined by using sensory and chemicalmethods together.

Physiology of Sensory evaluation

our perception of the environment, including food, is through specialized sense organs,which houses sensory receptors. the eyes are used for determining appearance andcolour, the nose for the sense of smell, the tongue for taste, skin for touch and the earfor any possible sound effect. stimuli are defined as triggers from the environment thatgeneratesensory impressions.thestudyof thephysiologyandhumanreaction tostimuliis fundamental to sensory evaluation.

Humans possess and utilize five primary senses for perceiving stimuli: sight, hearing,touch,tasteandsmell.otherhumansensesincludetemperaturesensation(heatandcold),pain,hunger, thirst, fatigueandbalance.sensesmaybeseparatedbasedon the typeof

stimuli to which they respond. sight, hearing, touch and temperature are considered tobephysicalsenses in that theyrespondtophysicalstimuli.Bycontrast, thesensationsofsmell,tasteandpainareconsideredtobechemicalsensesinthattherespectivereceptorsites all respond to chemical stimuli.

Chain of Sensory Perception

When we perceive a stimulus (singular of stimuli), our response is a multi-step process.the chain of sensory perception couldbedescribed as follows:

stimulusàsensationà Perception!response

each sense organ responds to a particular range of stimuli and transmits information interms of nerve signals to the brain via the central nervous system. specific sites in thebrain are stimulated by the initial sensory input and the brain interprets the incominginformation into a perception. this perception is then translated into a response by theindividual.

sensory perception may be divided into either an objective or a subjective response. Anobjective response measures the intensity of both the stimulus and the sensation. theobjective response arises from the relationshipandphysiological responseof the centralnervoussystem,whichisaphysicalorchemicalreactionwithinindividuals.Bycontrast,thesubjectiveresponsearisesfromthestatements,eitherverbalorwritten,thattheindividualmakesabout the sensations that he/sheperceives.examplesof subjective responseare‘the dahi too sour’ or‘the lassi is very thick’ etc.

Fragrance is the odour ofaperfumeorcosmetic.smell sense ismore refined than taste,becausehumans requiremore concentration of stimulus for taste than smell. Another term related to the smellperceptionoffoodisknownasflavour.thoughincommonparlanceitisusedassynonymof smell but scientifically it is the sum total of the sensory impressions perceived whena food is placed in the mouth. Flavour includes the aromatics released from the productinside the mouth, taste sensations (sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami) released fromthe soluble substances in the mouth, chemical feel factors such as astringency, cooling,metallic, spicy heat etc.

Upon ingestion of a food, the sensors in the mouth detect food texture and consistency.texture is defined as response of the tactile senses to the physical stimuli that resultsfrom contact between some part of the body and the food. components of textureinclude mechanical properties (e.g., hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, densenessandchewinessetc),geometricalproperties (smooth,gritty,grainy,chalkyand lumpy)andmoistureproperties (juicy,oilyorgreasy).thenoiseproducedby the foodproduct,eitherduring the rupture or the mastication of the food also helps to determine the texturalattribute of any food.texture is a complex term and is generated by the structure of thefood product.

Physiology of Taste Perception

the perception of taste also known as gustation is a chemical sense. taste begins onthe tongue and involves the detection of stimuli dissolved in water, oil or saliva by thetongue.theraisedportionsonthetongue,knownaspapillae,arethesitesoftastebuds,the receptorsof taste.Papillaeare locatedprimarilyon thesurfaceof the tongueaswellas in the mucosa of the palate and someareasof the throat. Four typesof papillaearefoundonthehumantongue,filliform,fungiform,foliateandcircumvallate.Filliformpapillaearehighestinnumbersamongthetastebuds.thesepapillaeareevenlydistributedonthefrontal two-thirds of the tongue but contain no taste buds and have a purely mechanicalfunction of holding the food constituents while masticating. the fungiform papillae arelargeandmushroom-likeinappearanceandarehighest innumberatthetipandsidesofthe tongue.Foliatepapillaeare foundon theposteriorone thirdof the tongue,usually infolds on the sides.these are also not well developed in human and have little function.the circumvallate papillae present in the form ofV-shape on the back of the tongue arelargeandeasilyvisible.circumvallatepapillaecontainseveralhundredtastebuds in theirouter grooves.

Page 139: Dairy Products Technology (Dairy Technology)

in order for compounds to be carried to the taste buds and perceived, they must be inaqueous solution (saliva). saliva is a complex solution of water, amino acids, proteins,sugars,organicacidsandsaltsthatimmersethetastereceptors.tastebudcontainstastereceptorcellsandeachtastereceptorcellcontainsapore.thetastemoleculesarebindtothehair-likecilianeartheopeningofthepore.tastereceptorcellsareconnectedwithtastenervesoveragapconnection.When tasteamoleculebinds to thecilia,neurotransmittermolecules are released into the gap to stimulate the primary taste nerves and send thetaste sensation signal onto the brain and tasteperception takesplace.

distribution of taste buds is generally associated with a certain papillae. consequently,response to specific tastes may be felt more intensely in some areas of the tongue ascompared tootherareas.Forexample,sweet tasteat the tip,sour tastealong thesides,saltinessalong thesidesand tip, bitter tasteat thebaseof the tongueandumami tastealong the sides and base of the tongue. However, different tastes are perceived withvarying intensity all over the tongueandnot only in these specificareas.

The Basic Tastes

Abasictasteisoneforwhichspecifictastebudshavebeenidentifiedwhichisresponsiblefor that particular taste sensation.there are fivebasic tastes:

Sweet: sweetness, usually regarded as an enjoyable sensation, is produced by thepresenceofsugarsandafewothersubstanceslikealdehydesandketones,whichcontainacarbonylgroup.othersubstancessuchasleadsalts,aminoacids,proteins,non-nutritivesweeteners(cyclamates,saccharin,acesulfameK,aspartame,etc.)alsotastesweet.tastedetection thresholds for sweet substances are rated relative to sucrose, which has anindex of 1.the average human detection threshold for sucrose is 10 millimoles/liter. Forlactose, themilk sugar it is 30millimoles/liter,with sweetness indexof 0.3.

Sour: sourness is the taste that detects acidity of milk and milk products. this is thesimplesttasteasonlyacids(H+)producesournessandasthe(H+)increasesthesournessincreases.thesournessofsubstancesisratedrelativetodilutehydrochloricacid,whichhasasournessindexof1.themechanismbywhichanimalsdetectsourisstillnotcompletelyunderstood.there isevidence that theprotons thatareabundant insoursubstancescandirectly enter the sour taste cells.this transfer of positive charge into the cell can itselftrigger an electrical response. the most common food group that are naturally sour isfruit, such as lemon, grape, orange, tamarind, and sometimesmelon.

Salty: saltiness is produced primarily by the presence of sodium ions. other ions of thealkalimetalsgroupalsotastesalty,butthefurtherfromsodiumthelesssaltythesensation

is. the saltiness of substances is rated relative to sodium chloride (nacl), which hasan index of 1. Potassium, as potassium chloride (Kcl) is the principal ingredient in saltsubstitutes, and has a saltiness index of 0.6. Many other crystalline water-soluble saltsyield a salty taste, but only sodiumchloride givesapure salty taste.

Bitter: Bitterness is the most sensitive of the tastes, and is chiefly associated with

unpleasant,sharp,ordisagreeablearomas.Bitterness ismainlyassociatedwithalkaloids

suchascaffeine,quinine,strychnineandnicotine.Bitternessisgenerallyperceivedatvery

low concentration and a relationship appears to exist between sweet and bitter as many

sweet substances produce a bitter aftertaste (saccharin). the threshold for stimulation

of bitter taste by quinine is 0.000008 M.the taste thresholds of other bitter substances

are rated relative toquinine,which is thusgivena reference indexof1.Bitterness is the

tastewhichmostpeoplehavedifficultyindetectingandresponselevelvariesgreatlyfrom

individual to individual.

umami: Also known as appetite taste, the words savoury, meaty and brothy has been

used todescribeumami taste.Umami (inJapanesemeans‘goodflavour’or‘good taste’)

can be tasted in cheese, soy sauce, tomatoes, grains and beans. this taste has been

ismono-sodium glutamate (Msg).Msg iswell knownasa flavour enhancer.

Physiology of aroma Perception

theperceptionofaromaalsoknownasolfactionisachemicalsense.Airborneodourants

are sensed by the olfactory system that is positioned in the nasal cavity. the olfactory

receptor area is located in the roof of the nasal cavity and is lined with a layer known

as olfactory epithelium. the surface of the olfactory epithelium is coated by a layer of

mucous.embeddedinthismucousareseveralmillionsmellreceptorscoatedwithfinehair

area for receptors to interact with odourants. When a person sniffs a food sample, the

mix of volatile compounds flows over the receptors in the olfactory region in the nose.

a compound to be perceived by the olfactory system its molecular weight must be less

than 300da.

Physiology of Vision

Vision is the psychological response to the stimulus generated by the physical nature

of the food being viewed. the human eye is virtually spherical, with muscles providing

mobilityofalmost100°.retina,theinnermostliningoftheeyeandcontainslightsensitive

nerve tissue.duringperception, light iseither reflected fromanobjectorpasses through

an object, then enters the eye and focused by the eye lens onto a depression in the

retina - the fovea.Fovea is located ina2–3mmdiameteryellowpigmentedarea,but the

centralareaof the fovealpit isnon-pigmentedand freeofbloodvessels.Foveacontains

two types of photoreceptor cells, rods and cones. cones are responsible for detecting

colour while rods are responsible for low intensity and/or colourless vision. cones are

exclusivelypackedinthecenterofthefoveawhiletherodsincreaseindensityto20°from

the fovea and then decrease toward the periphery of the eye. rods and cones contain

photosensitive pigments that bleach upon exposure to light. the subsequent electrical

neural impulsegenerated travels to thebrain via theopticnerveand thebrain interprets

the signal and perception of vision takes place. cone vision is trichromatic and contains

threecolour-sensitivepigments, responding tored,greenandblue light.colourblindness

results if the individual lacks any of these pigments, with the most common type being

red/greencolourblindness.colourblindnessafflictsabout8%malesand0.44%females.

ifsensoryevaluationactivities involvecolourevaluation,panelistsshouldbescreened for

colour blindness.

Physiology of Hearing

the sound emitted when certain foods when bitten and chewed is the reflection of the

texture of these foods. sound is perceived through the vibrations conducted through the

air, which subsequently cause the eardrum to vibrate.Via the small bones in the middle

ear, thevibrationsare transmitted tocreatehydraulicmotion in thefluidof thecochlea in

the inner ear.the cochlea is a spiral canal covered in hair cells.When agitated at their

individual harmonic frequency, these hair cells send neural impulses to the brain where

the particular sound is perceived.two noise-producing mechanisms relates to crispiness

andcrunchinessoffood.crunchinessismorerelatedtoalargerproportionoflow-pitched

sounds (frequencies <1.9 kHz), whereas, crispiness is related to a larger proportion of

high-pitched sounds (frequencies > 1.9 kHz). crisp foods break in a single stage while

crunchy foods break in several successive stages of applied pressure.the intensity and

pitch of crispinessand crunchiness canbemeasured in termsof decibels.

thereare three typesof sensorypanelistswhoare selectedand trainedby the sensoryleader/ coordinator depending on the typeof theproduct.

1. Trained panel: theyshouldbecarefullyselectedandtrained,andneednotbeexpertpanelists.the trained panel should be used to establish the intensity of a sensorycharacteroroverallqualityofafood.Atrainedpanelshouldcompriseofsmallnumberof members varying from 5 to 10 and may be used in all development, processingandstoragestudies.Asmallhighly trainedpanelwillgivemore reliable results thana largeuntrained panel.

2. Semi-trained panel (D & C Panel): this type of panel should be constituted frompersonsnormally familiarwithqualityofmilkanddifferentclassesofdairyproducts.thispanel iscapableofdiscriminatingdifferencesandcommunicating (d&c) theirreactions, though it may not have been formally trained. in a semi trained panelindividual variations can be balanced out by involving greater number of panelists.the panel should normally consist of about 25 to 30members.

3. Consumer Panel: the members of the consumer or untrained panel should beselected at random and ensure due representation to different age, sex, race andincomegroups in thepotential consumerpopulation in themarketarea.Usually80-120 members are sufficient to constitute a consumerpanel.

Different Types of Sensory Methods

sensory tests used for judging milk and milk products could be divided into followingcategories:

1. Difference or Discriminative Testing

difference test is one of the most useful sensory tests. it is generally used for selectionand training of sensory panelists. difference test is designed to discriminate differencebetweentwoormoresamples.Withinthisgeneralclassareavarietyofspecificmethods,viz.,pairedcomparison,duo-trio, triangleandmultiplesample tests.themain featuresofthese tests arediscussed below.

Paired Comparison Test: it is a two products (e.g. A & B) test, and the panelist’s jobis tocompare theseand identifywhether thesamplesaresimilarordifferent. if different,which attribute, such as sweetness, acidity, hardness, colour etc. is responsible for thisdifference. this part of the test is called as directional difference test. the test can befurtherextendedandthepreferencecomponentofthepanelistscanbeincluded.thepairedcomparison test is relativelyeasy toorganizeand implement.the twocodedsamples inorderofAA,BB,AB,BA, (4pairs)areservedsimultaneously,andpanelisthas todecideif there is any difference or not. Paired comparison is typically used in comparing newand old processing techniques, change of ingredients in a product, preference testing atthe consumer level, etc.

Duo-trio Test: in this testonesample identifiedas the reference (r) is firstgiven to thepanelists for evaluation. subsequently two coded samples, one of which is identical toreference, are presented.the panelist is asked to indicate, which of the two samples isthe same as ‘r’. the test is suitable for products that have relatively intense odour ortastesuchthatsensitivityofevaluator issignificantlyreduced.it isusedforqualitycontroland for selectionof panelists.

Triangle Test: triangletest ismostwellknownandmorefrequentlyusedoutofthethreedifference tests. As its name implies, it is a three product test in which all the samplesare coded and the panelist’s task is to determine which two are similar or which one ismost different from the other two.triangle test is more difficult test because the panelist

Page 147: Dairy Products Technology (Dairy Technology)

Dairy Products Technology 139

must recall the sensory characteristics of two products before evaluating the third andthenmakeadecision. itshould, therefore,preferablybeusedby trainedpanel forqualitycontrol work, and also for further trainingof panelists.

Multiple Sample Test: testinvolvingmorethan3stimuliareclassifiedasmultiplesample

tests. they may have equal (symmetrical) or unequal (asymmetrical) numbers of each

stimulus.Whentheyareappliedastruedifferencetests,thejudgeisrequiredtoseparate

the sample into two groups of like samples.When they are applied as directional tests,

the judge is asked to identify the groups of higher or lower intensity of a given criterion.

difference test designs involving more than three stimuli have only limited use due to

increase in psychological complexity and physiological fatigue, which accompanies an

increase in number of stimuli.

2. Scoring Technique

in this method certain weightage or score is given to each sensory attribute arranged inlogical order on a score card.the weightage is given on the basis of importance of theattribute.Forexample, if flavour is considered tobemost importantandhighest score isallotted to thisattribute.scorecardswherein25 to100 totalpointshavebeenallotted todifferent quality attributes are in use for milk and milk products. scoring method is mostfrequentlyusedbecauseofitsdiversity,simplicityandeaseofstatisticalanalysis.rigoroustraining is not required for panelists as information on defects and scoring guide is alsoprovided on the scorecard.

3. ranking Test

in ranking method two or more samples are provided to the panelists who are askedto arrange them in an ascending or descending order of intensity of a specific attribute,e.g. sweetness, hardness, etc. ranking is often used for screening inferior from superiorsamples in product development. this method is also suited for comparison of marketsamples of different brands and ranking themfirst, second and soon.

4. Hedonic rating Test

Hedonicrelatestothepsychologyofpleasurableandnonpleasantstatesofconsciousness.in hedonic method, psychological states of likeness or dislikeness are measured on aratingscale.theninepointhedonicscaleasgivenintable6.1.hasbeenmostextensivelyused for newproduct development and consumer studies.

5. Descriptive analysis

descriptive method of sensory evaluation provides quantitative descriptions of a productbasedontheperceptionofagroupofqualified judges. it isa totalsensorydescriptionofaproduct taking intoaccountall sensations thatareperceived:visual,auditory,olfactory,gustatory, kinesthetic, etc. A descriptive method enables us to relate specific processvariables tospecificchanges insomeof thesensoryattributesofaproduct, forexample,theflavourchangesinmilkathightemperatureprocessing.Fromtheviewpointofproductdevelopment, descriptive information is essential in finding out those product variablesthat are different and from which one can establish the cause and effect relationships.A descriptive test involves relatively few judges, who have been screened, selected andtrained for the particular product category.training of this group is primarily focused ondevelopmentofdescriptive language,whichisusedasabasisforscoringanewproduct.therearenumerousapplicationsfordescriptiveanalysisincludingmonitoringcompetitor’sproducts, determining shelf life, product development, and quality control, establishingphysical / chemical and sensory correlation.

6. acceptance/Preference Testing

Acceptance or preference testing refers to measuring liking or preference for a product.Preference can be measured directly by comparison of two or more products with eachother. indirect measurement of preference is achieved by determining which product hasscored significantly higher rating than another product in a multiproduct test. the twomethods most frequently used to directly measure preference and acceptance are thepaired comparison test and a9- point hedonic scale.

Fundamental rules for scoring and grading of milk and milk products: there aresome basic rules for sensoryevaluation ofmilk andmilk products that aregivenbelow:

Page 149: Dairy Products Technology (Dairy Technology)

Dairy Products Technology 141

Physical and mental condition for sensory evaluation: the evaluator should bephysicallyandmentally ingoodcondition.sensitivityof theevaluator in respectof senseofsmellandtasteshouldbenormal.itishelpfultorinsethemouthwithplainwaterbeforesensory evaluation. stimulation of saliva flow can be done by chewing mild flavouredchewing gum.

Know the score card and ideal sensory characteristics for each product: theevaluation card should be simple, brief, and easy to follow and all important sensoryattributes included in it. itshouldbeclearlyprintedand themattershouldbearranged inlogical sequence.terminologyused shouldbe clear andunderstandable.

learn important sensory characteristics of each product and range of defect intensities: this implies throughstudyof flavoursanddefectsand relativedesirabilityorundesirability of each items of the assigned numerical values. thus for a given productone must knowwhat to expect.

Have the sample properly tempered: Flavour, body and texture characteristics can bebestdeterminedwhen theproduct isneither toocoldnor toowarm,eachsampleshouldbe tempered to theoptimum for that product.Milk iswarmed to40°candbutter aswellascheeseat15°c. icecream is temperedaround–18 to–15°c. if theproductsampleis too cold, the taste buds may be temporarily anaesthetized, consequently some of thedelicate, moreelusive flavours maynot bepossible to detect.

Sample number and quantity: normally 5-8 samples with average intensity of flavourare consideredoptimum.theamountof eachsample shouldbeabout25-50mlorgm,which is sufficient for one full sip or bite.

observe the aroma immediately after the obtaining the sample: somearomabecomesless intense and disappears when exposed to atmosphere.the best time to test aromaiswhen container is first opened.

Take a large volume for testing: sample should be sufficiently large so that delicateflavours may be detected and yet small enough to permit manipulation of the sample inthe mouth.

Do not consume the product: While performing sensory evaluation avoid eating ordrinkingtheproduct.oncetasted,expectoratethesample.consumingtheproductduringevaluationleadstosatiationofhungerandconcentrationfromthefinersensorialattributesis deviated.

Fix the proper quality idea in mind: the sensory evaluator must know the idealcharacteristics of the product being tested. this could be achieved by working samplesof superior quality.

observe the sequence of flavours: Keepamentalrecordofthefirsttasteorodourswhichare sensed and note whether they change or remains constant. if the flavours graduallydisappear one should note what other is, if any take their place(s). After expectoration,note the relative time lapse before the taste sensation disappears.

rinse the mouth occasionally: themouthshouldbereconditionedorcleansedoccasionallyespeciallyafterhavingevaluatedaparticularlyintenseflavoursample.thiscouldbedoneusing cleanwarmwater orwarmsaline solution knownas test sanitizers.

Practice introspection: introspection isaccomplishedbyclosing themindandeyesandconcentrating thought solely about tasting. Look back and take mental note of varioustastes and smell sensation perceived for each product. Judges should relax briefly afterevaluating each sample since sustained concentration canbe tiring.

Do not be too critical: don’t try tofindobjectionableflavours thatarenotpresent.givethe samplebenefit of doubt and keepanopenmind.

Be honest with yourself: Judge the sample itself. don’t be carried away by name,trademarksorscoreassignedtosimilarproductofsamemanufactureinpast.theevaluatorshould keep a straight face and not try to communicate to others their feelings aboutparticular samplesby facial expressions.onemust believe in his/her own judgment.

Section 8Casein Making Unit

objective

l to understand the working of caseinmakingunits

l to learnabout the manufacturing processof different typesof caseins

Introduction

casein is a long established dairy byproduct finding its use as an ingredient in manydairy, food and non-food products. Manufacture of edible casein differs from that of non-edible casein (also called industrial casein). edible casein is produced under sanitaryconditions, with the use of food grade chemicals and sufficiently heat treated to makeit safe for human consumption. edible non-animal rennet casein is the product obtainedafter washing and drying the coagulum remaining after separating the whey from theskimmed milk which has been coagulated by non-animal rennet or by other coagulatingenzymes. in commercial practice, pH adjustment is achieved either by direct addition oftheappropriateacid to skimmilkor in the caseof lacticacid, by formationof lacticacidfrom lactose fermentation usingabacterial culture.

Desirable sensorial attributes of Milk

Flavour: excellentqualitymilkshouldseempleasantlysweetwithnoforetaste,leaveonlya clean, pleasing sensation after the sample has been expectorated or swallowed, withnoaftertaste.theflavorofmilk is impartedby thenatural components suchasproteins,fat, salts, milk sugar (lactose), and possibly small amounts of other milk components.thenatural richnessofmilk is due topresenceofmilk fat andsweetness isdue tomilksugar. Pasteurized milk commonly possesses some degree of heated flavour especiallyimmediately after processing, but the intensity diminishesduring storage.

Colour: colour of cow milk is yellowish creamy white and buffalo milk is creamy white.the scattering (refraction) of light by the insoluble colloidal minerals, protein, and fatparticles are mainly responsible for the opaqueness and white colour of milk. cow milkcontains more beta-carotene which scatters yellowish light lending to creamy-yellow hueto cowmilk.

evaluation technique

1. examine the container for the extent of fullness, cleanliness and freedom fromcracksor chips.

2. the container should have attractive appearance, clear and contain the fullvolume ofmilk.

3. should reflect cleanliness, recently filling and should posses dry, firm and milksolid free surface free fromcuts/nicks/pinholes.

Brown discolouration isa serious defect in ghee.

Technique for sensory evaluation of ghee

1. representative sample should be drawn from the bulk lot in a clean and dry glassbottle.the bottle should be capped.

2. samples should be presented at room temperature. odour, taste and residue arebetter detected at 40°c while texture is analyzed after solidification. crystallizationtemperature for cowghee is 25-30°c and for buffalo ghee is 30-35°c.

3. startwith thevisualobservationof thesample.Judge thecolourfirst,and then lookfor suspended impurities (residue).

Part DSensory Evaluation of Dahi

name: __________________________ date: ______________

Desirable sensorial Characteristics of Dahi

Flavour: goodqualitydahi shouldhavepleasant, sweetisharomaandamild cleanacidtaste. A good diacetyl flavour is always desired in dahi. it should be free from any offflavour.Anysignofbitterness, rawness, yeasty, sharpanduncleanoff flavourshouldnotbe present in dahi.

Body and Texture: good dahi should be a weak gel like junket when made from wholemilk. the body should be firm, homogenous and free from gas holes and air bubbles.on cutting, the edges should appear clean and sharp. the surface should be smooth,preferably with a creamy layer. defects like graininess or lumpiness, ropiness, shrunken,thin and wheying off should be absent in dahi.

acidity: generallyacidity in the rangeof0.75-0.85% lacticacid isappropriated forgoodquality dahi. excessive acidity imparts too much sourness and sharp astringent taste tothe product, whereas lowacidity is consideredas rawor bland.

Colour and appearance: itshouldbecreamyyellow ifmade fromcowmilkandcreamywhite if made from buffalo milk. it should be attractive, pleasing and uniform withoutshowing any sign of browning and visible foreign matter. dahi should have smooth andglossy surface without traces of any free whey on sides or top. consumers often judgethewholesomenessandpurityofdahionthebasisofpresenceofacreamy layeronthetop, hence it is usually desirable.

sensory evaluation technique of dahi

1. Firstlookoutsideofthecontainer.Lookforanysmudgesonthepackage,andwhetherthe manufacturing date is easy to readand in theproper place.

2. openthecontainerwithoutdisturbingtheproductandimmediatelyassesstheproductfor itsodour.Viewthetopoftheproduct,particularlynoticeforanywheyseparation,yeast ormouldgrowth, discolourationorwatery liquid exudates.

3. Lookaround thesidesof thecup forpossible indications that theproductmayhaveshrunk.

4. trip the cup upside down on a plate and puncture the bottom.then lift the cup toget a dahi ‘mound’ left on a plate.With the help of a spatula or a knife scrape outdahi remaining in the cupbottom.notice for anyunusual aromas.

5. observe how it appears on the plate.the dahi should resemble a thick mass withlittle or no running.

6. next, notice for the presence for any unusual colour. if the dahi colour does notresemblethetypeofmilkfromwhichit ispreparedthentheproduct ischaracterizedto possess‘atypical colour’.

7. Place a spoonful of dahi in the mouth and notice how dahi clings or sticks to thetongue and sidesof the mouth.

8. Move dahi in mouth using tongue and notice how fast the dahi dissipates off thetongueas it isbeingmovedaround. ifdahi is lowintotalsolids, itwilldissipatefast,thus it’s body perceived to beweak.

9. After noticing the texture and mouthfeel, perceive the first flavour sensations andnotice where in the mouth they are being observed. one of the first sensations isacidityofdahi.thesensation isonthesidesof tongue.After theacidsensation, thenext flavours that arenoticed are cooked, toohighor low flavouring.

10. then,noticeforthepresenceofanystrongoff-flavourslikeoxidized,atypical(foreign),old ingredient, unclean, and yeasty.

11. expectorate (spit it out) the dahi from mouth so that the flavour will not stay in themouth for long timeafterwards.

12. Afterexpectorating,someflavoursthatarenotassociatedwithbeingthemostpleasantarenoticed.theseincluderancid,bitter,oldingredient,lacksfreshnessandunnaturalflavours.

13. indicate the scores for different attributes in the evaluation card.the hints given insection Bwill aid the judge to score theproduct properly.

14. defects arising from pronounced manufacturing, handling and storage errors, suchas rancid, old ingredient, foreign, oxidized or spoilage issues, such as unclean oryeasty require greater penalties than less serious defects, such as low acid, highacetaldehyde, etc. the origin and remedies of some common defects of dahi arepresented below.

Part ESensory Evaluation of Paneer

name: __________________________ date: ______________

sensorial characteristics of good quality paneer

Colour and appearance: excellent quality paneer should have uniform marble whitecolour with greenish tinge if made from buffalo milk and slightly yellowish white colour ifprepared fromcowmilk.

Body and Texture: thebodyofpaneershouldneitherbetoofirmnortoosoft.thetextureof good quality paneer should be compact, smooth, slightly spongy and velvety. Whilemasticating, itshouldimpartafeelingoffibroustexturewithmodestdegreeofchewiness.Paneer should retain its shape while frying.

Flavour: Paneermusthaveacharacteristicsblendoftheflavoursofheatedmilk,coagulatedcurd and acid. it is pleasant, mildly acidic, slyght sweet andnutty.

Technique for sensory evaluation of Paneer

1. tempering:the optimum temperature of sensory evaluation of paneer is 15°c. it ishighlyessentialthatthetemperatureofallthesamplesshouldbesameforuniformityin evaluation of body and texture.

2. startwiththevisualobservationofthepackageforneatnessandcleanliness,properprotectionandabsenceofsoilingmaterial,moisture/wheydropletsetc.onthesurface.collection of whey inside the package is highly undesirable.
