    REPLACEMENT OF CONCENTRATE MIXTURE WITH FRESH AZOLLA (Azolla pinnata) ON MILK PRODUCTION AND QUALITY IN KONKAN KANYAL GOAT
    (dbskkv., Dapoli, 2019) DONGARE, SACHIN VASANT; Hanmante, A. A.
    Goat plays an important role in the national economy and socio-economic development of the landless, small and marginal farmers by supplementing family income and generating gainful employment. Goat rearing has been recommended as the best choice for rural people in the developing countries because of its wider adaptability, low investment, high fertility and fecundity, less feed and management needs, quick return, low risk involved and high feed conversion efficiency. The experiment was conducted at the Dairy unit, College of Agriculture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli-415712, District Ratnagiri (M.S.). Twenty Konkan Kanyal goats were selected for the experiment. The experimental animals were randomly divided into five treatment group‟s viz. T1 - Basal feed (Guinea grass + Tree leaves + Paddy straw) + 400 gm conc. T2 - Basal feed + 300 gm conc. + 100 gm fresh Azolla, T3 - Basal fed + 200 gm conc. + 200 gm fresh Azolla, T4 - Basal feed + 100 gm conc. + 300 gm fresh Azolla and T5 - Basal feed + 400 gm fresh Azolla. The results was revealed that the Basal diet + 300 gm Azolla + 100 gm concentrate was found superior in respect to dry matter intake 1119.10 g/day, Milk production 60.30 lit. (60 days), nutrient digestibility coefficient (OM 82.25, DM 80.64, CP 77.98, CF 88.83, EE 73.19, Ash 68.86, NFE 85.24, AIA 69.69), nutritive value (8.72 and 76.97), body weight gain 65.03 g/day and BCR (1.51) and than other treatments.

    Shelf life studies of Kalakand
    (DBSKKV DAPOLI, 2005-05) Gawde, Ashish Mahadeo; Yadav, D.N.
    The present investigation entitled „Shelf life studies of kalakand‟ was undertaken to explore the possibility of enhancing the shelf life of kalakand using preservatives viz., saffron, cardamom and sorbic acid and to study the effect of these preservatives on chemical, bacteriological and organoleptic quality of kalakand, stored at different periods (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days). The effect of different preservatives in kalakand preparation had significant favourable impact on chemical, bacteriological as well as sensory quality of kalakand as compared to kalakand with no preservative. The higher dose of the preservatives proved to be the most effective but imparted typical flavour defect and strong aroma to the final product. The acidity, fat and protein contents of kalakand of different treatments ranged from 0.55 per cent to 0.67 per cent, 21.29 per cent to 21.49 per cent and 14.08 to 14.62 per cent, respectively. The total solids content was 76.22 per 58 cent in all the treatments. The rise in free fatty acids and peroxide value upto 8 days of storage was in the magnitude of 0.18 to 0.38 per cent and 0.16 to 0.39 meq/kg fat, respectively. During storage upto 8 days, kalakand showed rise in SPC, proteolytic, lipolytic, E. coli, staphylococci and yeast and mould as 0.71 to 17.71 × 105 cfu/g, 0.80 to 42.94 × 103 cfu/g, 0.06 to 15.50 × 103 cfu/g, 0.05 to 0.44 × 103 cfu/g, 0.05 to 11.88 × 102 cfu/g and 0.09 to 53.05 × 103 cfu/g, respectively. Further, there was decrease in score during storage from 7.39 to 6.21 for colour and appearance, 7.27 to 6.22 for body and texture, 7.26 to 5.63 for flavour and 7.23 to 5.55 for overall acceptability. Use of 0.015 per cent saffron as herbal preservative in kalakand preparation gave the product with high acceptability and increased the shelf life upto 6 days.

Shamika Vikas Surve Registration No. : ADPM/15/2433 Degree : M.Sc.(Agri.) Major Field : Dairy science Research Guide : Prof. S. V. Joshi 137 DAPOLI, DIST. RATNAGIRI, (M.S.) 415712 THESIS ABSTRACT Milk shake, a product of Western origin, is obtained by freezing a mix very similar to soft serve ice cream mix and speed mixing the frozen product in a mixture to make it pourable and generate foam in it. Milk shake is very nutritious because of their main ingredient is milk, aside of milk it contain sugar or jaggery that can easily provide us with energy for our brain to function well. The product is combination of highly desirable fat, protein, sugar and mineral constituents of milk with vitamins, flavor and other nutrients of added fruit pulp which destroy fiber for better digestion. The milk shake is generally served with some flavour blends. Similar to milk, honey and grapes, date (Phoenix dactyliferaL.) are considered, a good source of nutrients like carbohydrates, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins like carotene, thiamine, vitamin ‘C’ and riboflavin and also other minerals. With plenty of vitamins and minerals, date have 25 per cent more potassium than bananas while being free from fats, sodium and cholesterol. Jaggery activates the digestive enzymes in the body, stimulates bowl movements and thus helps prevent and relieve constipation. Jaggery helps in cleansing the liver by washing out harmful toxins from the body. One of the most well-known benefit of jaggery is its ability to purify the blood. When consumed on a regular basis and in limited quantities, it cleanses the blood. It Members : Dr. V. S. Dandekar Dr. A. J. Mayekar Prof. R.V.Dhopavkar Title of thesis : “Process standardization for preparation of milk shake by incorporation of date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) and jaggery” 138 is loaded with antioxidants and minerals such as zinc and selenium, which in turn helps to prevent free-radical. Jaggery contains up to 4 kcal/gram energy. Considering the importance of date and jaggery it was thought to evaluate the suitability of jaggery and date as flavoring agent in developing simple technology for the manufacture of milk shake. In the present study the milk shake was prepared from buffalo milk by incorporation of date pulp and jaggery at different levels viz. 5, 10 and 15 per cent date pulp and 4, 5 and 6 per cent jaggery in different combinations. From the result of present investigation it may be concluded that date pulp and jaggery could be successfully utilized for preparation of milk shake.The most acceptable quality shrikhand can be prepared by using 4 per cent jaggery and 10 per cent date pulp (J1D2). The most acceptable quality milk shake (J1D2) contained on an average, 25.57 per cent total solids, 6.02 per cent fat, 3.95 per cent protein, 0.881 per cent ash, 14.92 per cent total sugar and 0.163 per cent titratable acidity. The production cost of most acceptable milk shake (J1D2) was ₹ 105.08 per kg.
