ThesisItem Open Access Effect of incorporation of condensed cheese whey and bifidobacterium bifidum in yogurt(Department of Dairy Science, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, 1994) Mirza Ismail, Baig; KAU; Prasad, VAn experiment was conducted to assess the possibility of utilization of whey solids in different forrrs in yogurt as a substitute for NDM and also E bifidum as an adjunct with the view to improve the therapeutic value of yogurt A detailed review of literature was presented on the morphological and physiological characteristics of starter cultures importance and utilization of whey solids effect of long term storage on starter bacteria and other related aspects Methodology of condensation of cottage cheese whey preparation of whey protein dispersion and manufacture of set and frozen yogurt has been described Important analytical procedures were presented The experiment comprised of part A and part B based on the starter culture The mix under the part A were fermented with conventional yogurt starter culture viz S5 salivanus subsp thermophilus and L delbrueckn subsp bulgaricus as against this the mix under part B were fermented with conbination of conventional yogurt starter and B bifidum Fa h part comprised of four treatments based on types of mill solids used to raise the content of SNF to 13 per For A-II and B II condensed whey was used to replace 50 percent NDM Mixes under A III and B III were fortified with condensed whey to replace 100 per cent NDM and whey protein dispersion was used to replace complete NDM under A-IV and B-IV The results obtained had been compared with similar reported studies and conclusions were drawn The data regarding the starter bacterial count indicated the optimum growth of thermophilus bulgaricus and bifidobacteria in yogurt fortified with different forms of vihey solids The count of thermophilus and bifidobacteria were higher with the fortification of whey solids m yogurt mix and the growth of bulgancus was not adversely affected in the presence of the whey solids Incorporation of B bifidum stimulated the growth of thermophilus however it was found to have some inhibitory effect on bulgaricus count The inhibitory effect of B bifidum on bulgaricus was lesser in presence of whey solids than in yogurt fortified with NDM Optimum growth of B bifidum was obtained when grown in association with conventional yogurt culture cent For mixes under A-I and B-I fortification was withThesisItem Open Access Effect of feeding additives on total solids of cow's milk(Department of Dairy Science, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, 1992) Sathian, C T; KAU; Francis, U TA study was undertaken to evaluate effect of feeding acetic acid (200 ml/day), sodium bicarbonate (1.5% of the concentrate), potassium carbonate (1.2% of the concentrate) and magnesium oxide (0.8% of the concentrate) on solids content of cow's milk. An exhaustive review of literature has been presented about the use of these additives in cow ration for modifying milk composition. Six cross-bred.cows within the stage of 60 to 160 days of lactation with milk fat content of three to four per cent were alloted for feeding each additive. The feeding was done for 25 days of which first 20 days served as adaptation period. Milk samples were collected during pre-treatment period/ adaptation period, treatment (experimental) period and post-feeding period. Pre treatment period samples served as the control. Milk samples were analysed for fat per cent, protein per cent and total solids per cent. The methods of analysis have been detailed. Solids-not-fat per cent was found out by difference. Daily milk yield (kg/d) of each cow was noted. Fat yield (kg/d) and protein yield (kg/d) were calculated. The feed consumption by animals was recorded. The effect of additives were compared. Sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate significantly increased fat per cent of milk by 0.4 and 0.35 from pre-treatment values respectively. Acetic acid and magnesium oxide produced only non-significant increases in fat per cent which continued during post-feeding period also. Potassium carbonate feeding increased milk protein per cent significantly by 0-42 from pre-treatment value. Comparison between additives showed that effects produced by potassium carbonate on protein per cent significantly differed from effects produced by acetic acid. Total solids content was significantly increased by 0.42 per cent on feeding potassium carbonate from pre treatment value. None of the additives produced significant changes in solids-not-fat percentage. Sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate significantly reduced milk yiled by 1.28 kg/d and 0.71 kg/d from the pre-treatment values respectively. This reduction continued during post-feeding period. Non-significant changes in fat yield and protein yield were produced by all the additives except potassium carbonate. Feed consumption by the animals was not affected by feeding any of the additives Sodium bicarbonate and potassium carbonate significantly increased milk fat per cent. But their use in the ration is not recommended due to significant reduction in milk yield.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of nisin on the keeping quality of dahi(Department of Dairy Science, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, 1992) Sreeja Ramachandran; KAU; Prasad, VAn experiment was conducted to find out the effect of preservatives such as nism and potassium sorbate on the keeping quality of dahi. An attempt was also made to study the quality of dahi produced under household conditions with a special emphasis on the maintenance of starter. An exhaustive review of literature has been presented on the use of various preservatives m dahi, keeping quality and other related aspects. The methods of analysis of s8rae important components of dahi has been detailed. Dahi was prepared under laboratory conditions (Method I) and under household conditions (Method II). Both were divided into four parts and applied four treatments namely (1) Treatment A - with 1000 IU n i s m / i W g curd (2) Treatment B - with 10 ml of nisin producing organism capable of producing 1000 IU of nism/100 g curd (3) Treatment C with 0.2 per cent potassium sorbate^4) Treatment D - Dahi stored as such without any treatments. All treatments were compared with dahi at 0 hour (control). The dahi after treatments A, B, C and D from methods and were mixed well and transferred to 100 ml cups and stored at room temperature. Samples from each treatment were subjected to chemical, microbiological and organoleptic evaluation on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th , 10th and 21st day of storage for acidity, pH, lipolysis, proteolysis, diacetyl, total lactic count, coliform count and yeast and mould count.ThesisItem Open Access Utilisation of skim milk filled with coconut milk for preparation of indigenous dairy products(Department of Dairy Science, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, 1992) Mini Jose; KAU; Mukundan, MA detailed study was carried out to determine the quality of coconut fat filled milk for the preparation of indigenous milk products such as paneer, rasogolla and whey drinks. A modified version of Precision Penetrometer to measure the springiness of rasegolla was designed, fabricated and used in the present study. An exhaustive review of literature has been presented on the use of vegetable fat for substitution of milk fat for preparation of various dairy products apart from preparation and other related aspects of paneer, rasogolla and whey drinks. The methods of chemical analysis and sensory evaluation of these products have been detailed. The control samples of paneer, rasogolla and whey drinks were prepared using cows' milk while experimental samples were prepared using skim milk filled with coconut fat. The milks were standardized to four per cent fat. The moisture, fat and acidity were found to be similar in control paneer and experimental paneer. The control paneer was found to have higher yield but low protein content when compared to experimental paneer. On sensory evaluation, control pander was graded as of 'excellent quality* while experimental paneer was graded as of 'good quality'. The control and experimental samples of rasogolla were found to have same springiness. Control samples of rasogolla obtained 'excellent' grade on sensory evaluation but the experimental rasogolla was graded as of 'good' quality. The difference in the quality of paneer and rasogolla was due to the natural flavour of coconut milk Icarried over to the products. Both control and experimental samples of rasogolla were found to have good shelf life of three days, at room temperature. Pineapple and lemon flavoured control and experimental whe.y drinks were found to be equally acceptable with no difference in appearance, odour, flavour and body characteristics. The chemical and sensory evaluation of paneer, rasogolla and whey drinks prepared from cows' milk and coconut fat filled milk revealed no significant difference between them.
