Abstract
A study was conducted to develop functional paneer
by incorporating different millets viz. foxtail, pearl and finger
millets and to enhance the shelf life by employing vacuum
packaging. Different levels (0.5, 1 and 1.5 per cent) of the
mentioned millets were tried in the making of functional paneer
and based on sensorial attributes, incorporation of millets at the
rate of 1 per cent was adjudged as the ideal level and accordingly
further studies were carried out. During storage, based on sensory
evaluation, it was found that the functional paneer samples
incorporated with different types of millets at 1 per cent level
were acceptable up to 5 days and the control was acceptable up
to 7 days at 5°C in normal packaging, whereas, the developed
functional paneer was acceptable up to 25 days and the control
up to 30 days at 5°C in vacuum packaging. The microbial quality
was within the prescribed standard limits of BIS during the study
period at 5°C. Finger millet (Ragi) (1 per cent) added paneer was
superior to the control and other millet added paneer because of
the higher yield, fibre content and lower cost of production.
