DPS - 53Process Optimization for Manufacture ofMilk Cake Made from Cow MilkRavi Varma, V and Kotilinga Reddy, YDairy Technology Programme, College of Veterinary Science,Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University, Tirupati – 517502 (AP)Standardization of technology for manufacture of milk cake using cow milk was carried out.Sensory evaluation of milk cake prepared with cow milk having 6 percent fat gave rich appearance tothe product than 4 and 5 percent levels of fat in milk. Good consistency, granular size and optimumbrowning in the center of the milk cake was noticed, when prepared with the addition of 12% sugar. Astandard method was developed for manufacture of milk cake by using 6 percent fat containing cowmilk with 0.02 percent citric acid as coagulant, which is added after first boiling, follow by the additionof 12 percent sugar on milk basis added in parts i.e., 50 percent of the total sugar after partialconcentration and 50 percent at pat stage had yielded better quality milk cake which is comparable inphysico-chemical and sensory qualities viz., flavour, body and texture, colour and appearance,sweetness and overall acceptability scores to that of control milk cake favour its selection for furtherstorage studies. A gradual decrease in sensory scores of all attributes was observed at both thetemperatures of storage. The milk cake stored at room temperature found acceptable up to 6 days ofstorage. However, the shelf could be increased up to 21 days incase of refrigeration stored milk cake.DPS - 54Suitability of Incorporating a Probiotic Culture inMilk and Evaluation of its Effectiveness inHealth Management of Tribal ChildrenKhedkar, C. D.; Gyananath, G.; Bajad, D. N.; Patil, M. R.;Kalyankar, S. D.; Deosarkar, S. S. and Sarode, A. R.College of Dairy Technology, Warud (Pusad)-445 204 (Maharashtra)The study was planned to investigate the implantation ability of a human strain of Lactobacillusacidophilus-LBKV 3in the gastrointestinal tracts tribal children (TC) of 2-5 years. Before commencingthe feeding trial (FT) faecal matter was analyzed twice for its microbial content. It was analyzed at aninterval of 15 days during three month FT and after its termination. A follow up was conducted for oneyear. No any restriction on the dietary habits was exerted but the kids were encouraged not to takeany medication. A wide variation in the initial microbial counts in the faecal matter was observed.Feeding of PAM resulted in many fold increases in friendly types and very sharp decline in the harmfulorganisms after fifteen days of commencing FT in test group TC. The trend was continued further tolead almost negligible counts of putrefactive groups and huge increases in the friendly organisms inthe test group as against the control and blank control groups. The highly significant increases infriendly types and a sharp decline in the harmful organisms even after terminating the FT is anindication of the positive implantation ability of human strain of L. acidophilus in the gastrointestinaltracts (GIT) of the subjects. It is concluded that the feeding of PAM shall be effective in combating theproblem of heavy mortality (due to GIT and related ailments) in this most neglected section of thesociety.37
