Abstract
In all 75 samples of paneer were examined during the course of investigation which were collected from different regions viz., central, east, west, north and south region. From each region, 15 samples were collected and analysed during three fortnight. So, 5 samples of each regions were analysed each fortnight. These paneer samples were collected by adopting stratified randomization technique. Central, east, west, north and south region paneer samples contained on an average moisture 54.49, 51.32, 52.56, 50.33 and 52.79 per cent, fat 22.81, 26.40, 24.13, 27.17 and 24.40 per cent, protein 19.41, 17.91 18.59, 16.73 and 17.89 per cent, ash 1.81, 2.02, 1.88, 1.87 and 1.84 per cent, total solids 45.51, 48.68, 47.44, 50.33 and 47.21 per cent, respectively. Adulteration of starch was more or less found in all regions paneer samples. Whereas, adulteration of coal tar dyes was found in central, west, north and south regions. However, east region paneer gives negative test for coal tar dyes and only two samples gives positive test for starch, hence east region paneer found superior over other in respect to starch and coal tar dyes adulteration.
Description
The various physico-chemical qualities like moisture, fat, protein, ash and total solids present in paneer was analysed along with percentage of adulteration to check the quality of paneer marketed in Nagpur city and their sale price was considered by contacting with paneer procurement centre of different regions of Nagpur city. The paneer marketed in east region had better physico-chemical qualities than central, west, north and south paneer which were fair but full fill standards of FSSAI (2006).
