Kheer prepared with addition of 3 per cent khamang rice (T4) was found superior over the rest of the treatments. The physico-chemical composition of khamang rice i.e. total solids, protein and ash was significantly increased while, fat and moisture percentage significantly decreased with increase in the levels of khamang rice.The research work entitled “Utilization of khamang rice (Oryza sativa) for the preparation of kheer” was carried out during the year 2017-18. Milk was standardized to 4 per cent fat and the kheer prepared with addition of khamang rice at 1.5% (T1), 2% (T2), 2.5% (T3) and 3% (T4) per cent by weight of milk. The results of four treatments with five replications were statistically analyzed by using completely randomized design (CRD). The data obtained after chemical analysis of fat, total solids, protein, ash, moisture and evaluation of sensory characteristics like colour and appearance, body and texture, flavour and overall acceptability were subjected to statistical analysis. Total solids, protein, ash percentage of kheer were increased with increase in the level of khamang rice and fat and moisture percentage was decreased with increase in the level of khamang rice. The sensory evaluation for (overall acceptability) carried out by the judges, showed that kheer prepared by adding with 3 part khamang rice (T4) had secured the highest score (97.40) and ranked as acceptable treatment. This kheer contained 5.31 per cent fat, 39.56 per cent total solids, 3.78 per cent protein, 1.61 per cent ash and 60.44 per cent moisture. The cost of production of kheer was increase with the increase in the level of khamang rice. The cost of production was higher of treatment T4 with addition of 3 part khamang rice (Rs.86.00 per kg) while, the kheer prepared by adding 3 part khamang rice (T4 treatment) costing (Rs. 86.00 per kg) which was superiorly accepted by the panel of judges. Hence, it is concluded that superior quality kheer can be prepared by addition of 3 per cent of khamang rice.enMilk, milk production, cow, cream, skim milk, milk product.Thesis
