Abstract
An experiment was planned to assess the effect of addition of sodium and potassium metabisulphites on the shelf-life of khoa. Khoa was prepared from buffalo milk in a steam jacketed stainless steel kettle. The treatments imposed were control (no additive), addition of sodium metabisulphite (T1) and potassium metabisulphite (T2) each separately at the rate of 1000 ppm on the basis of milk used for preparation of khoa in a particular batch. The added sodium and potassium metabisulphites supplied respectively 673.9 and 576.3 ppm of sulphur dioxide. The samples of khoa were stored in plastic boxes of 21.5 cm x 11.5 cm x 11.5 cm size at room temperature (31°C). Khoa was filled in boxes upto three-fourth of their capacity and the lids were put on only when the samples attained normal temperature.
