    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-06-30) TAYDE, BHUSHAN MADHUKAR.; Zinjarde, Dr. R. M.
    The present investigation entitled “Utilization of black carrot (Daucus carota spp sativus) juice for preparation of flavoured milk” was undertaken during 2017-2018. Flavoured milk was prepared using milk standardized to 3 per cent fat with constant level of sugar (8 per cent), cardamom (0.1%) and different levels of black carrot juice viz,100:0(T1), 98:2(T2), 96:4 (T3) and 94:6 (T4) with four treatment and five replication. The product was analyzed for chemical composition as well as for sensory attributes in completely randomized design. The cost of production was also calculated by considering the retail market prices of different ingredients used. The results showed that fat, total solids and protein were significantly decreased with the increase in level of black carrot juice inflavoured milk. The fat, total solids and protein content were decreased range from 3 to 2.83 per cent, 18.84 to 18.75 per cent and 3.39 to 3.20 per cent respectively. On the other hand, the acidity, SNF and ash percentage were significantly increased with the increase in the levels of black carrot juice. Acidity, SNF and ash increased range from 0.14 to 0.21 per cent, 15.84 to 15.92 per cent and 0.74 to 0.84 per cent respectively. The significantly highest scores for colour and general appearance (27.03 out of 30), taste (47.10 out of 50), acceptability (18.37 out of 20) and overall acceptability (92.05 out of 100) were obtained in flavoured milk containing 6 per cent of black carrot juice. The cost of flavoured milk increased with the increase in the levels of black carrot juice. It is inferred from the above results that acceptable quality flavoured milk can be produced by blending black carrot juice to the extent of 6 per cent with cost of production of Rs. 69.64/lit.
