Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    DEVELOPMENT OF DIETETIC LOW-CHOLESTEROL PANEER EMPLOYING β-CYCLODEXTRIN AND PARTIAL HOMOGENIZATION OF MILK
    (Department of Dairy Technology Sheth M. C. College of Dairy Science Anand Agricultural University Anand, 2020) RAMESH B. MODI; Dr. ATANU H. JANA
    The investigation was carried out to develop dietetic paneer having low cholesterol content. The β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) has been widely used for cholesterol removal from milk and milk products. Reports indicates better efficacy of cholesterol removal from milk or cream using β-CD, if homogenized raw material is used. Since homogenization of milk impairs the curd forming properties, ‘partial homogenization’ (i.e. homogenizing the cream portion) would help in ameliorating the adverse effect of such treatment on the physical properties of paneer.
