Abstract
The present investigation entitled "Studies on physico-chemical
properties of milk of different buffalo breeds under Parbhani condition" was
undertaken in order to investigate the physico-chemcial properties of milk of
Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo found in Parbhani district undeJ
the Marathwada region of Maharashtra state. The three milk samples from I 0 selected
buffaloes from each of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti breed are collected
and analysed for it's physico-chemical properties.
The average values for specific gravity of Marathwadi, Murrah,
Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 1.031, 1.030, 1.030 and 1.029, respectively.
The average values for acidity (% LA) of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti
buffa lo milk were 0.155, 0.158, 0.155 and 0. 157 per cent, respectively. The mean
values for pH of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 6.67,
6.77, 6.78 and 6.80, respectively. The differences observed for pH of buffalo milk
were significant. The average values for EC for Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and
Surti buffalo milk were 3.532, 3.720, 3.785 and 3.751 mmhos, respectively. The
differences observed for EC of buffalo milk were significant. The average values for
viscosity of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 2.336,
2.218, 2.278 and 2.386 cps respectively. The differences observed for viscosity of
buffalo milk were significant. The average values for RI of Marathwadi, Murrah,
Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 1.343, 1.345, 1.342 and 1.340, respectively.
The average values for fat content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti
buffalo milk were 7.63, 7.37, 7.43 and 8.11 per cent, respectively. The differences
observed in fat content of buffalo milk were significant. The average values for
protein content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 3.79,
3.96, 3.85 and 3.88 per cent, respectively. The average values for lactose content of
Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 4.93, 4.79, 4.82 and
4.84 per cent, respectively. The average values for total solids content of Marathwadi,
Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 17.28, 16.97, 16.92 and 17.78 per
cent, respectively. The differences observed in total solids content of buffalo milk
were significant. The average values for SNF content of Marathwadi, Murrah,
Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk were 9.69, 9.45, 9.50 and 9.66 per cent,
respectively. The average values for ash content of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi
and Surti buffalo milk were 0.94, 0.82, 0.84 and 0.93 per cent, respectively.
From the present studies it can be concluded that the Marathwadi
buffalo milk has higher average specific gravity, SNF, lactose and ash content than
Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Slliti buffalo milk. The Jaffarabadi buffalo milk was high in
EC than the Marathwadi, Murrah and Surti buffalo milk. The Surti buffalo milk was
high in viscosity, pH and content of fat and total solids than Marathwadi, Murrah and
Jaffarabadi buffalo milk. The Murrah buffalo milk was higher average RI, acidity and
protein content than Marathwadi, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo milk. Finally the
physico-chemical properties of Marathwadi, Murrah, Jaffarabadi and Surti buffalo
milk not differ significantly under the condition of Marathwada region in respect of
it's breed averages.
