CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION
Fermented foods are a great significance since they provide and

preserve vast quantities of nutritious foods in a wide diversity of flavor, aroma and
texture, which enrich the human diet. Over 3500 traditional fermented foods exists
worldwide (Anon, 2003). Fermented foods have been with us since humans arrived on
earth and of these fermented milks have long been an important component of
nutrition and diet. Originally fermented milks were developed as a means of
preserving the nutrients (Beena, 2000). Sufficient quantities of live active cultures in
fermented food products can contribute to restoring the correct balance of intestinal
flora, boosting the immune system, preventing gastrointestinal infections, aid in
digestion and help to ease other health disorders. Health benefits depend on the
species and strain of the bacteria. The human immune system is the body‟s defence
mechanism which protects against infections and diseases, 70% of which is located in
the gut. Probiotic yoghurt and fermented milks that contain agents such as L. casei
have shown to stimulate cellular immunity.
Indian fermented milk products utilize only 7% of total milk produced
(Aneja et al., 2002) and mainly includes three products i.e. dahi (curd), shrikhand
(sweetened concentrated curd) and lassi (stirred curd), which may be considered the
Western equivalent to yogurt, quarg and stirred yogurt, respectively.
Demand for yoghurt has increased considerably in last decade
(Saavedra et al, 2004) especially in United Kingdom (kowalska et al, 2000) and
United States (Sivak, 2000) owing to yoghurts nutritional and therapeutic benefits
(Sarkar and Misra, 2002: Foda et al, 2007). The increase the consumption of yoghurt
in united State is attributed the addition of fruits, flavour and sweetners to plan
yoghurt (Osundahunsi et al 2007). Resently, yoghurt has become a popular vehical for
incorporation of probiotic cultures such as Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus
acidofilus for improved to health and nutrition (Sarkar, 2008).
In India amongst indigenous fermented milk product “Shrikhand”
assumes special importance for its pleasant taste. It is popularly used as a special
delicacy in the western part of India viz., Maharashtra, Gujrat, Karnataka and some
part of Rajasthan due to its high nutritive, characteristic flavour, test, palatable nature
1
and possible therapeutic value. It served as a special delicacy on ceremonial occasion
and festivals. Shrikhand is an indigenous semi-soft whole milk product prepared using
chakka (strained dahi/curd). The dahi is partially strained through a cloth to remove
the whey and thus produce solid mass called chakka. Chakka finally mixed with sugar
and flavouring agent. It is sweetish sour in test. Typically shrikhand constitutes 39.0%
moisture and 61.0% total solid of which 10.0% is fat, 11.5% protein, 78.0%
carbohydrate and 0.5% ash, on dry matter basis with a pH od about 4.2-4.4 (Kulkarni
et al., 2006; Boghra and Mathur, 2000). It is very refreshing particularly during
summer months. It can be recommended as health food foe special patients suffering
obesity and cardiovascular diseases due to its low fat and sugar contents. It has
nutritive goodness of fermented milk products. Shrikhand has got longer shelf life
than dahi due to higher sugar content. Self life of shrikhand is 35-40 days at 50C,
while storage at ambient temperature results very short i.e. 2-3 days.
Some workers have attempted to improved the sensory and nutritive
characteristics of shrikhand by addition fruit pulp. Nigam et al., (2009) have studied
the effect of papaya pulp on the quality characteristics of shrikhand.
Black Carrot (Daucus carrota) is one of the important root vegetable
rich in bioactive compounds like carotenoids and dietary fibers with appreciable
levels of several other functional components having significant health-promoting
properties. The consumption of carrot and its products is increasing steadily due to its
recognition as an important source of natural antioxidants having anticancer activity.
Black Carrot Juice is an excellent blood cleanser. It has a high content of iron and
vitamin C. It improves eye sight and blood circulation. It cures constipation, stomach
disorders and makes the skin healthy and glowing. Owing to its highly fibrous nature,
it keeps the alimentary canal clean and regulated. It acts as a moistening agent and
tones up the skin. It is good for treating acne and pigmentation.
Black carrot anthocynins provide an excellent bright strawberry red shade
at acidic pH; therefore, black carrot juice can be a good choice for colouring fruit
juice and nectars, soft drinks, conserves jellies and confectionery (Downham et.al.
2000). Furthermore, black carrot juice, like all fruit and vegetable juice, is considered
as an ingredient when added to food as a colourant. Therefore, black carrot juice does
not require declaration with a number on food labels. Finally, since black carrot
contain a high amount of nutraceutical components (Alasalvar, et.al, 2001) colouring
of food with black carrot juice may also provide a health benefit.
2
In India black carrots are grossly underutilized and do not find much
consumer acceptance as a vegetable, although in rural areas they are utilized for
making a fermented beverage “Kanji” similar to that of “Shalgam” in Turkey (Turker
et al., 2004). Despite the obvious advantages of black carrots as a source of natural
colorant, there are scarce reports on processing of black carrots. Keeping this in mind,
the present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of anthocyanins, and color
attributes of black carrot juice in shrikhand. The intent was to develop a process that
would be suitable for manufacturing a black carrot juice for natural colorant and
nutraceutical usage in shrikhand.
Shrikhand is often prepared by addition saffron to enhance its colour
and appearance and flavour. Present study explores the use of black carrot juice as
natural colouring agent in the proportion of shrikhand. Thus present study was
envisaged to study the effect of black carrot juice on the quality characteristics of
shrikhand.
Objectives
1. To standardize the process for manufacture of Shrikhand by addition of black
carrot juice.
2. To study the organoleptic and physico-chemical properties of shrikhand using
black carrot juice.
3. To determine physic-chemical and Antioxidant activity of shrikhand during
storage.
4. To study the shelf life of shrikhand enrich with black carrot juice.
5. To determine the cost of production of finished product

CHAPTER-II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
An exhaustive review of literature is essential in any research
endeavor. It makes researcher up-to-date with the theoretical knowledge and finding
of research topic in the field of investigation. Review of past literature makes the
researcher aware about the methods, procedure and techniques available and used as
well as the outcomes and conclusion of the past studies. It provides clues and
guidance throughout the research processes. Attempts were made to gather findings
having relevance with topic under study.
The research work carried out by different workers on fermented milk

makes to believe that the fermented milk has not only a desired nutritive value similar
to that of milk, but it has also a considerable therapeutic value in the maintenance of
desirable type intestinal bacterial flora. The product has distinct taste, richness,
delicacy, diversity and a fairly long shelf life.
Although shrikhand is one of the important fermented milk products of

our country, there has been quite a limited comprehensive research work on different
aspects of this product. The available literature on technology, chemical composition,
sensory quality and use of sugar replacer in shrikhand and other milk products is
reviewed here.
However, the research work entitle on “Preparation of Shrikhand by

Using Black Carrot Juice” was undertaken with a view to find out acceptable levels of
black carrot juice in shrikhand. The review pertaining to shrikhand and other related
fermented milk product like yoghurt is collected and grouped into different heads and
presented in forgoing pages.

2.1 Method of Shrikhand manufacture

It is essentially blending of chakka, sugar, cream, and flavouring
agents such as spices, fruits, etc. The quantity of ingredients in this blend depends on
final composition require in the shrikhand.
It‟s pointed out that, shrikhand is a traditional fermented and
sweetened milk products of Indian origin and popular in Maharashtra, Gujarat and
certain parts of the Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Shrikhand has a
typical semi-solid consistency showing a characteristics firmness and palatability
contributing to its suitability for consumption with “Puri” or “Bread”. The
consistency is influence to greater extent by the moisture, fats and sugar level in
shrikhand (Singh 2006).
Prajapati (1992) reported that thermization treatment had appreciable

beneficial effect on the body and texture characteristics of shrikhand both at ambient
and refrigeration temperature. It is also observed that during the storage, colour and
appearance score was not statistically significant within the treatment and ranges from
4.23 to 4.73 out of 5.
5
Sharma and Reuter (1992) reported that, chakka can be successfully
made by ultra filtration using ceramic membrane module. They were observed that
these was 23 per cent extra yield of chakka due to recovery of whey protein in chakka.
Suryawanshi et al. (1993) worked to evolve a rapid method for

shrikhand preparation. In this method attempts were made to reduce curd setting time
and whey expulsion during shrikhand production by verifying inoculum size and
heat-acid treatment of curd. Curd setting time progressively decreased from 8 to 10
hrs to 4 to 5 hrs with increased in the inoculum level of Streptococcus thermophillus
and Lactobacillus acidophillus starter from 2 to 6 per cent, while acidity of curd
decreased from 1.13 per cent with 2.0 per cent inoculum to 0.81 per cent with 4 and 6
per cent inoculum. Whey expulsion time decreased with both increase in inoculum
level and increase in temperature of heat treatment from 50-70ºC. The best results
were obtained with heat treatment of 60 ºC for 10 minutes. They concluded that
manufacture time of shrikhand could be reduced from 20 to 6 hours by using 6 per
cent inoculum and heat treatment to the dahi at 60 ºC to 70ºC for 10 minutes.
Aneja (1997) explained that an industrial process of manufacture of

chakka and shrikhand developed at NDDB. He reported that the skim milk curd was
centrifuged in basket centrifuge to produce chakka, which was mix with cream,
ground sugar, flavouring material in a planetary mixture for the manufacture of
shrikhand. He further reported the process which was further, improved by using
continuous quarg separator for concentrating the curd and a scraped surface heat
exchanger for mixing and pasteurizing the shrikhand.
Boghara and Mathur (1998) studied the progressive fermentation of

milk into dahi brought about little or no change in the total solid, fat, protein and milk
solid but significant decrease in the lactose content and pH value. The conversion of
dahi into chakka concentrated milk solid separated out whey and advanced the
fermentation of lactose. Shrikhand prepared from cow and buffalo milk retained
quantitatively all the constituents in proportion to the addition of sugar there was little
or no change in pH during the conversion of chakka into shrikhand. The mineral
composition remained more or less unchanged, except citrate which disappeared
completely at dahi stage of both cow and buffalo milk.
6
Sharma (1998) reported that added sugar and 70 per cent fat cream in
chakka to prepare shrikhand. Then it was kneaded in a small kettle by hand and
smooth textured shrikhand was prepared and stored at 10 to 120C.
Giram et al. (2001) used whey concentrate in preparation of shrikhand

and studied its effect on yield, physico-chemical properties and sensory properties.
Addition of 5 per cent sour whey concentrate to chakka increased the yield of
shrikhand by 5 per cent over the traditional method.
Jain et al. (2003) analyzed the composition of shrikhand samples from

traditional and illustrated manufactures from selected cities of Gujarat state.
Significant differences existed for moisture, protein, lactose, sucrose, titratable
acidity, pH and soluble N between samples from different cites. Traditionally made
shrikhand significantly has lower contents of protein, moisture, minerals and lower
pH than that made on an industrial scale. Sucrose content was significantly higher in
traditional product.
Renu Dadarwal et al. (2005) studied the possibility of using fruit pulps
to improve and vary the flavour of shrikhand without adversely affecting the overall
acceptability of the product. Addition of 5% fruit pulps to milk increased the recovery
of fat and proteins in chakka. Also the products prepared by addition of 5 to 10% pulp
to milk and 10 to 20% pulp to chakka had acceptable sensory properties and
microbiologically, the products formed by addition of pulps to milk were free from
coliforms. They also found that shrikhand prepared by direct addition of pulps in
chakka also had higher microbial load.
Salunke et al. (2005) recorded that shrikhand is a fermented milk

product popular in the western part in India. It is semi solid, sweetish sour, whole
some and indigenous fermented milk product. Owing the benefits if consuming
shrikhand (a fermented product) increased the shelf life, good sensory properties and
possibility of modification and diversification.
Ansari et al. (2006) prepared shrikhand from ultrafiltered skim milk

retentates. Ultrafiltration (UF) technology was used for the production of shrikhand
from pre-concentrated skim milk. Skim milk was concentrated from 11 per cent to
maximum 20 per cent total solids and was used in curd making and then shrikhand.
7
Shukla et al. (2007) prepared shrikhand using ultrafiltration process.
Skim milk coagulum obtained by fermentation of skim milk with yoghurt culture was
broken by gentle stirring and heated to 60°C for 5 minutes with continuous stirring for
whey separation and ultrafiltered to about 16.60 per cent TS concentration in tubular
membrane module. Whey was removed from UF concentrated coagulum by hanging it
in a muslin cloth (eight layered) at room temperature.
2.2 Factors affecting the quality of chakka/shrikhand
2.2.1 Types and composition of milk
The compositional difference of cow and buffalo species have been

reviewed (laxminarayana and Dasture, 1968; Ganguli, 1974) wherein it has been well
established that the curd from buffalo milk is firmer than that obtained from cow
milk. The high curd tension of buffalo milk dahi is due to the higher levels of SNF
and calcium (Yadav and Singh, 1973; Sindhu and Roy, 1973).
Buffalo milk curd because of higher fat content acquires some

mellowness. However, the effect of higher fat level on curd gets offset by high
calcium, larger micellar size casein and higher SNF content. In addition the
proportion of micellar casein and β–casein is more in buffalo than in cow milk.
Higher rate of syneresis has been observed in rennet curd from buffalo milk than that
of cow milk, (Ganguli, 1974). This may also hold true for lactic curd from buffalo
milk.
It is a commom practice to make use of cow or buffalo milk singly or

in combition for curd preparation and its subsequent use in shrikhand making.
Ghatak and Dutta (1998) investigated the effect of blending of cow and
buffalo milk in shrikhand manufacture. Shrikhand was made from admixture of cow
and buffalo milk in the ratio 1:3, 1:1, 3:1 and also from cow and buffalo milk for
comparison. They reported that the best quality of shrikhand could be prepared from
mixture of cow and buffalo milk i.e. 1:1, which imparted smooth texture, firm soft
body and desirable gummyness.
Sumedha Deshpande et al. (2008) prepared shrikhand from different

blends of soy milk and dairy milk. The total solids were standardized at 10 per cent.
8
The blend milk was homogenized in two stages. Milk was heated to 72°C for 20
minutes and cooled to room temperature (30-37°C) for preparation of shrikhand.
De (2009) reported that the chemical composition of cow milk as

water, fat, protein, lactose, ash and total solids contain was 86.5, 4.42, 3.41, 4.60, 0.75
and 13.60 respectively.
Jangale (2009) reported the average chemical composition of skim

milk as fat 0.48 per cent, protein 3.41 per cent, total solids 9.21 per cent and acidity
0.14 per cent.
2.2.2 Addition of skim milk powder
Shinde (1995) prepared shrikhand by using cow milk and concluded

that the addition of skim milk powder upto 6 per cent in cow milk helped to gain more
yields and enhanced nutritional quality of shrikhand without affecting its sensory
quality.
Kulkarni (1997) concluded that addition of skim milk powder upto 5

per cent in cow milk definitely helped to gain more yield of shrikhand and also
enhanced its nutritional quality without affecting sensory quality.
Singh et al. (2014) studied the effect of SNF levels of milk on the
quality of shrikhand was investigated to suggest the best level of SNF for shrikhand
making. The yield and sensory score of shrikhand increased with increase in the SNF
content of milk.
2.2.3 Composition of quality of chakka
The curd mass know as “chakka” is the base material for shrikhand. It
is obtained by the removal of whey from dahi. The quality of shrikhand is largely
influenced by physical and chemical properties of chakka.
Aneja et al. (1977) reported that the yield of chakka depend on heat
treatment and total solids content of skim milk, heating of milk to 85 0C and 90 0C for
16 seconds yielding 24 and 25 per cent chakka respectively. The skim milk with 11
per cent total solids produced highest yield.
Sharma and Zariwala (1978) compared the range value of moisture fat
lactose and acidity of market samples of chakka with those of laboratory made chakka
from cow and buffalo milks. The observations were as below:

buffalo milk
Patel (1982) reported the average composition of chakka prepared
from cow milk as moisture, 67.46 per cent ; total solids , 32.54 per cent; and acidity,
1.34 per cent.
Kadam et al. (1984) prepared chakka from cow milk and found its
chemial composition as acidity , 1.26 per cent: fat, 11.88 per cent; and total solids ,
32.05 per cent.
Desai et al. (1985) prepared chakka from homogenized milk and

observed that chakka made from homogenized milk had slightly higher yield and
higher fat recovery.
Patel and Chakraborty (1985) recommended that chakka made from

buffalo skim milk must have minimum 23.5 per cent total solids, 14.1 per cent total
protein . 0.35 per cent soluble proteins, 3.1-3.2 per cent reducing sugar, 2.2 per cent
lactic acidity and 4.3-4.5 pH.
Jadhav (1986) carried out investigation on utilization of high acid milk

for preparation of shrikhand. The average chemical composition of chakka prepared
from cow milk with 0.15 per cent LA of was found to be fat, 13.18 per cent; total
solids 36.89 per cent; and acidity 0.94 per cent.
Patil (1991) carrried out investigation on preparation of shrikhand by

addition of fruit pulp. Average chemical compotion of chakka reported by him was fat
, 13.13 per cent; total solids, 34.24 per cent; and acidity, 0.94 per cent.
Sharma and Reuter (1992) reported that chakka could be successfully

made by ultrafiltration (UF) using ceramic membrane module. There was 23 per cent
10
extra yield of chakka due to recovery of whey protein in chakka. The process is
industrially feasible and provide 16.28 per cent milk saving and easy automation and
process control.
Patel et al. (1993) found chemical composition of chakka as 23.2 per

cent total solids , 13.83 per cent tritratable acidity and 4.4 to 4.6 pH.
Shinde (1994) carried out investigsation on comparative study of fat

and SNF losses during manufacture of shrikhand by different methods. Average
chemical compotion of chakka reported by him was fat, 13.62 per cent; total solids,
32.31 per cent; and acidity, 1.67 per cent.
Kulkurni et al. (1995) reported that the chakka prepared from buffalo
milk did not met the protein requirement of 37 per cent (dry weight basis). They also
reported that the chakka made from pasteurized skim milk met the requirement with
respect to total solids, protein, fat, ash and acidity.
Lature (1997) reported the chemical composition of chakka as

moisture, 68.40 per cent; total solids, 31.6 per cent; fat, 15.40 per cent; protein, 13.56
per cent; ash, 1.07 per cent; lactose, 1.50 per cent; and acidity, 1.10 per cent.
2.3 Starter culture
Traditionally small amount of curd or whey of previous day is used as

source of lactic culture required for curd setting. However, this method of curd setting
may not suit industrial requirement as there is a considerable risk of uncontrolled
fermentation. The use of contamination free lactic culture in a desired state of activity
is an essential prerequisite for manufacture of fermented milk product including
shrikhand (Hammer and babel , 1957; Foster et al., 1958).
Traditional method of using of previous days curd for setting fresh

shrikhand curd has generally result in propagating of naturally balanced mixed types
of multiple strain culture that is require to produce about 1 per cent lactic acidity
within a period of 12 to 15 hours at an incubation temperature of 25 to 30 0C.
For good curd formation and characteristic flavour of the product,

starter culture is added to the milk. Generally, lactic streptococci produce lactic acid,
which are responsible for characteristic flavour.
11
Shrikhand can be prepared from sweet dahi or sour dahi. The starter
microorganisms of sweet dahi consist of S. lactis, S. lactis subsp. diacetilactis, S.
cremoris in single or in combination with or without Leuconostoc species. The sour
dahi can be prepared by employing above starter microorganisms along with L.
bulgaricus or S. thermophilus.
Subramanian et al. (1997) incubated buffalo skim milk with single and
combined cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) and Streptococcus salivarius
Subsp. Thermophillus (SST) to find out the suitable culture for developing required
acidity (0.9 to 1.0 per cent acidity) and pH (4.5 to 4.6) of chakka. They reported that
yield and total solids recovery in chakka were highest when combined starter cultures
of 0.75 to 1.0 per cent each of LA and SST were used.
Lata Mangashetti (2003) studied about dahi preparation from toned

milk (TS 11.5%) vacuum concentrated to 23% TS using LF – 40 culture (mixed
culture of cocci and lactobacilli) and its quality was evaluated by acidity, pH,
hardness, wheying off and sensory characteristics. The overall acceptability of dahi
produced from concentrated milk was significantly low due to salty taste, very firm,
leathery body and textural characteristics.
Narhare (2003) prepared curd from standardized cow milk (4% fat)
using LF-40 starter culture comprising Streptococcus lactis, Streptococcus clematis
and Streptococcus diacetilactis at the rate of 1 per cent.
Phate (2004) prepared shrikhand by using probiotic culture viz.

Lactobacillus acidophillus and Lactobacillus delbruckii ssp. The probiotic shrikhand
possesses good organoleptic qualities with therapeutic properties.
Reddy et al. (2005) pointed out an effects were made efforts to

improve the viability of Lactobacillus acidophillus in set and stirred probiotic yoghurt
by incorporating whey protein concentrated @ 0.5 to 1.0% in yoghurt milk and
change in pH and overall acceptability of product during storage at 40c over a period
of 5 weeks were analyzed.
Singh and Jha (2005) prepared shrikhand from separated buffalo milk
using culture Streptococcus thermophillus (strain no. 74) and Lactobacillus
delbruckiisub. Bulgaricus (strain no. 08) used in ratio 1:1 as mother culture.
12
Devshete (2006) prepared shrikhand using yoghurt culture. He was
reported that the shrikhand prepared by using yoghurt culture was comparable in
composition, physical and sen sory attributes with shrikhand prepared using dahi
culture. The main advantage of this product is that, it contains live cell of
Lactobacillus bulgaricusand Streptococcus thermophilus, which provide therapeutic
benefits to consumers.
Ilango et al. (2007) conducted the experiment to judge the performance

of Lactobacillus acidophilus in the production of various milk products for lactic acid
and aroma production. The metabolic functions of this bacteria viz. lactose utilization
and proteolytic activity are controlled by plasmids, thus revealed that the plasmid
profiles of standard cultures and isolates from dahi (cultured milk) and shrikhand with
an aim of detecting the cleaving sites for new and improved starter cultures that can
perform efficiently.
Shukla et al. (2007) prepared shrikhand was prepared from cow,

buffalo and skim milk. These milks were first heated at 95°C for 5 minutes and then
cooled to:
i. 28±1°C, inoculated with 1 per cent lactic starter culture (LF-60)

(Streptococcus lactis and Streptococcus diacetylactis) at the same temperature
for 15-18 hours for setting the curd.
ii. 42±1°C, inoculated with 1 per cent NDRI mixed yoghurt culture (YH-3, 144)
(Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophillus) and then
incubated at same temperature till desired lactic acid was produced.
Singh, P. (2008) pointed out that the fermentation of milk sugar

“Lactose” occurs in two ways first is homofermentation and another one is
heterofermentation. The former one produces lactic acid from sugar ranging from 80
to 98 per cent in yield. Most common bacteria responsible for homofermentation is
streptococcus while the later group first convert lactose into glucose and then produce
Co2, alcohol and acetic acid in addition to lactic acid by fermentation.
Krishnan kumar and Gandhi (2009) gave a review on the innovative

techniques in the starter culture preservation, maintenance and distribution require
special logistic and economic consideration. Quality, safety and acceptability of
13
traditional fermented food may be significantly improved through the use of starter
culture. Concentrated freeze dried from direct vat inoculam culture is promising
method and rapidly finding an importantrole in the manufacture of fermented milk
products such as dahi, yoghurt and kefir.
Swapna, G. Brahmaprakash et al. (2011) conducted the experiment and

studied the sensory quality of shrikhand by the addition of probiotics and lactic acid
bacteria as a starter culture, instead of using curds as a starter culture. The most
commonly used probiotics are Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus sporogens
and Lactobacillus rhamnosus and in combinations like Lactobacillus acidophilus +
Lactobacillus sporogens. The different lactic acid bacterial isolates were obtained
from cattle milk, buffalo milk and dairy milk also used as starter culture singly or in
combination with probiotics. The shrikhand samples were tested for organoleptic
characteristics of the product. Results revealed that in the shrikhand prepared using
probiotics as starter culture, the highest score was recorded with combinations of
probiotics i.e. Lactobacillus acidophilus + Lactobacillus sporogens, and the lowest
score was recorded in Lactobacillus rhamnosus in terms of color, appearance, aroma,
texture, taste and overall acceptability of the product. The same results were obtained
in addition of lactic acid bacterial isolates along with probiotics.
2.4 Modification in manufacture of shrikhand
Landge, et al. (2011) prepared shrikhand was from ashwagandha

powder @ 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7% with 40% cane sugar. The product was stored at 70 c
in refrigerator and chemically was monitored at regular interval. The moisture content
decreased with increase in ashwagandha powder level. Among the sample 0.5% was
superior to other. Protein content was increased in shrikhand due to aswagandha
powder.
Devshete et al, (2012) prepared that shrikhand from buffalo milk using
dahi culture (T0) and yoghurt culture (T1) was prepared and studied for its
acceptability. It was observed that shrikhand prepared using yoghurt culture was
comparable or equally good to shrikhand prepared using dahi culture.
Nadaf et al. (2012) prepared shrikhand by adding Gulkand and rose

petal powder and observed that Gulkand and rose petal powder had a significant
influence on aroma, taste, texture and overall acceptability except color.
14
Mehrotra et al, (2014) conducted a study on shrikhand preparation by using
stevia powder with sugar replacement. Stevia powder and extract were added in different
combination in the experimental product. Control, having 100% sugar was also prepared. The
organoleptic evaluation of the products was done by a panel of judges to select the most
acceptable level of stevia in shrikhand
Kuttabadkar et al.(2014) prepared shrikhand was from buffalo milk

blended with safflower milk in various proportion viz. T0-100% buffalo milk, T1 70%
buffalo milk + 30% safflower milk, T2 60% buffalo milk + 40% safflower milk, T3
50% buffalo milk + 50% safflower milk.
Abhilasha et al. (2016) conducted a study on preparation of shrikhand

by incorporation of different levels of sesame seed oil such as 4, 8, 12, and 16 % and
various analyses were carried out for identify suitability of consumption and presence
of phytosterol. The product prepared with 8% of the sesame seed oil was selected as
optimum on the basis of sensory parameters. The developed product contains high
antioxidant property and it also contains phytosterol which as the hypocholestrimic
activity than the control. The nutritional profile of the product has increased and is
also poses the health beneficial effect.
2.4 Utilization of fruit in shrikhand

Renu Dadarwal et al. (2005) added banana (Musa balbisiana), guava
(Psidium guajava) and sapota (Achras sapota) pulps in milk as well as in chakka to
explore the possibility of using fruit pulps for improving and varying the flavour of
shrikhand without adversely affecting overall acceptability of the product. Addition of
5% fruit pulps in milk before pasteurization and lactic fermentation enhanced
drainage of whey. Banana and sapota pulps added in milk increased the recovery of
fat and proteins in chakka, preventing loss of valuable milk ingredients in whey. The
products prepared by addition of 5 to 10% pulp in milk and 10 to 20% pulp in chakka
were acceptable in organoleptic qualities. However, the products with 5% pulp
addition in milk and 10% pulp addition in chakka were equivalent or superior to the
shrikhand made from milk alone in sensory attributes. Microbiologically, the products
prepared by addition of pulps in milk were free from coliforms. However, coliforms
were detected when banana pulp was added in chakka..
Sonawane et al. (2007) reported the effect of addition of different
levels of strawberry pulp and sugar on chemical composition of shrikhand during
15
storage. Two levels of sugar viz; 30 (S1) and 40 (S2) per cent and three levels of
strawberry pulp viz; 10 (P1), 15 (P2) and 20 (P3) per cent on weight basis of chakka
were included in the experimental trials, along with one control sample.
Navita et al. (2009) prepared shrikhand using papaya pulp in chakka to
increase the nutritional quality and overall acceptability. Papaya pulp was added at 20
per cent, 40 per cent and 60 per cent levels. The shrikhand prepared with 20 per cent
level of papaya pulp was found most acceptable.
Gawane et al. (2010) prepared shrikhand from cow milk chakka with
constant level of sugar (40% by weight of chakka) blended with varying levels viz,
zero (T0), 1 (T1), 2 (T2), 3 (T3), 4 (T4) and 5 per cent (T5) of custard apple pulp by
weight of chakka and efforts were to produce a novel type of shrikhand by blending
of 10 per cent custard apple pulp.
Kumar et al. (2011) conducted a study to evaluate the effect of apple
pulp on quality characteristic of shrikhand. Various levels of apple pulp viz. 0, 10, 20
and 30 per cent were used in the preparation of shrikhand replacing chakka in the
formulation. On the basis of various sensory parameters, shrikhand containing 20%
apple pulp and dried celosia argentea flower selected as optimum.
Mali et al., (2010) prepared a shrikhand with constant level of sugar
(40 per cent by weight of chakka) and different levels of papaya pulp i.e. 0 (T1), 5
(T2), 10 (T3), 15 (T4) and 20 (T5) per cent by weight of chakka in complete
randomized design were tested with four replications for their chemical composition,
sensory attributes and cost structure.
Shambharkar et al. (2011) conducted a study on preparation of
shrikhand by adding sapota pulp. The efforts were made to standardize the optimum
level of sapota pulp in the shrikhand by sensory evaluation and to study its
economics. shrikhand was prepared from cow milk chakka by adding sapota pulp i.e.
5% (T1), 10% (T2), 15% (T3) and 20% (T4). Treatment T3 (93.72) showed highest
overall acceptability over the rest of treatments.
Lakshmi et al., (2013) prepared shrikhand by blending chakka, sugar
and jamun fruit pulp. Among the different blends of chakka, with Jamun fruit pulp at
60:40 blend was found best. Various sensory attributes of best judged product
revealed that the developed product was found highly acceptable.
16
Rita Narayanan et al., (2013) prepared the shrikhand from dahi with a
constant level of sugar (40%) and supplementing with banana pulp at 10% (T1), 20%
(T2) and 30% (T3), and control with no supplementing.
Shelke et al., (2014) conducted a study on preparation of low fat, sugar
free mango shrikhand. For this purpose artificial sweetener sucralose with alphanso
mango pulp was incorporated in buffalo skim milk chakka. Five treatments were
design as base mix of 70 per cent skim milk chakka 30 per cent alphanso mango pulp
added with 40 per cent cane sugar (T1), 3.0 per cent (T2), 6.0 per cent (T3), 9.0 per
cent (T4) and 12.0 per cent (T5), respectively.
Thakur et al. (2014) had undertaken a study with different levels (10%,
15%, 20% and 25%) of mango pulp. Experimental mango shrikhand mix was
standardized to 6.0 fats, 9.0 solid non fats, 35% sugar and @ 1% culture.
Devid et al., (2015) reported that preparation of herbal shrikhand was
carried out by incorporating aqueous basil extract @ 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, indicated
as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively.
Parveez Ahmad Para (2015) prepared flavored shrikhand (FSH), by
addition of chiku pulp and orange pulp in equal proportion (50:50) that constituted
14% of the total bulk of chakka, compared to normal shrikhand (SH).
2.5 Utilization of black carrot in food products
Aysegul Kirca et al. (2005) studied the stability of black carrot
anthocynin in various fruit juice and nectars was studied during heating at 70-900C
and storage at 4-370C. During the storage, degradation of anthocynin was very fast at
370C, respectively in pineapple nectar. Refrigerated storage (40C) markedly increased
the stability in all samples. Activation energy for the degradation of black carrot
anthocynin in coloured juices and nectors ranged from 42.1 to 75.8 kJ mol -1 at 70-
900C and 65.9-94.7 kJ mol-1 at 4-370C.
Khandare et al. (2011) reported that enzyme-assisted preparation prior

to pressing can remarkably improve the quality of black carrot juice resulting in
enhanced juice yield, total phenols, anthocyanins and total antioxidant activity. Since
enhanced antioxidant activity is directly related with health promoting capacity, use of
enzyme-assisted processing can be useful approach for producing healthy juices.
M. MehrizAbou EI Samh et al., (2013) give a review on properties and

antioxidant activity of probiotic yoghurt flavored with black carrot, pumpkin and
17
strawberry. Chemical, rheological, organoleptic, microbiological and antioxidant
properties were determined in the flavored yoghurts. RSA% was higher in flavored
probiotic yoghurt containing 0.5 and 1% pumpkin and carrot than plain yoghurt with
or without sugar.
Senem Kamiloglu et al., (2015) reported the first research describing

the stability of colour properties, anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity of black
carrot jams and marmalades during processing, storage and in vitro gastrointestinal
digestion. The high losses of anthocyanins observed during jam and marmalade
processing and storage bring challenges to the food industry. In order to minimise the
loss of beneficial compounds and to achieve a good coloured with high antioxidant
capacity, these products should be stored at 4°C.
2.6 Organoleptic evaluation of shrikhand
Prajapati (1992) reported that post production heat treatment to

shrikhand slightly improve the sensory quality of shrikhand and accordingly its
flavour, body and texture.
Nalawade et al., (1998) studied the effect of compositional variables

on sensory quality and consistency of shrikhand. They reported that shrikhand
containing fat and sugar between 2 to 4 per cent and 30 to 35 per cent respectively
had lower acceptability, whereas fat and sugar between 7 to 9 per cent and 33 to 39
per cent, respectively had a higher acceptability. They further reported that the most
desirable combination of fat and sugar levels of shrikhand that could gave maximum
acceptability worked out to be 8 per cent fat and 36 per cent sugar.
Shukla et al. (2007) prepared shrikhand by traditional/UF process

using lactic culture and yoghurt culture and subjected to sensory evaluation by panel
of judges. Lactic culture was preferred for traditional process because it produced
better flavour in comparison to yoghurt culture. The yoghurt culture lacked in diacetyl
flavour, but was preferred because of a shorter incubation period.
Kolape et al. (2010) prepared shrikhand using three levels of papaya

pulp viz., 10, 20, 30 per cent by weight of chakka and one level of sugar 35 per cent
by weight of chakka and one control sample without papaya pulp and 35 per cent
sugar was also prepared for comparison. It was observed that the mean score for
18
overall acceptability for the treatment T0, T1, T2 and T3 was 7.32, 7.18, 7.32 and 7.50
per cent, respectively. Maximum overall acceptability score 7.50 per cent was
observed for treatment T3 and minimum for treatment T2 (7.18 per cent). These
observations indicated that the proportion of papaya pulp in blend increased the
overall acceptability.
Lakshmi, R. Ranganna et al. (2013) conducted the study on shrikhand

by addition of jamun fruit pulp. They use different level of jamun pulp i.e 20, 40 and
60 per cent with 35 per cent sugar on the basis of chakka. They also prepared one
control treatment without jamun pulp. Among the different level of chakka:jamun
pulp 60:40 blend was best quality and accepted by judges. Various sensory attributes
like flavour, colour, and body texture of the product was found highly acceptable.
Finally they concluded that jamun fruit can be effectively utilized in the preparation
of fruit based shrikhand.
Rita Narayanan et al. (2013) prepared the shrikhand from dahi with a
constant level of sugar (40%) and supplementing with banana pulp at 10% (T1), 20%
(T2) and 30% (T3). They observed that colour and appearance score, flavour and
overall acceptability of shrikhand were highest in 20% and lowest in control. Finally
they concluded that 20% banana pulp (T2) had a most preferred by judges than other
treatment.
Shelke et al., (2014) conducted a study on preparation of low fat, sugar

free mango shrikhand. Five treatments were designed as base mix of 70 per cent skim
milk chakka 30 per cent alphanso mango pulp added with 40 per cent cane sugar (T1),
3.0 per cent (T2), 6.0 per cent (T3), 9.0 per cent (T4) and 12.0 per cent (T5),
respectively. On the basis of sensory evaluation indicates that, there was no
appreciable difference between the mango shrikhand prepared by 6 per cent sucralose
compared with mango shrikhand prepared by cane sugar.
Thakur et al., (2014) prepared shrikhand with different levels (10%,

15%, 20% and 25%) of mango pulp. Experimental mango shrikhand mix was
standardized to 6.0 fats, 9.0 solid not fats, 35% sugar and @ 1% culture. They
concluded that the shrikhand prepared with 25% (T4) mango pulp was highly
acceptable in terms of flavour and taste and overall quality as compared to other
treatment combinations.
19
Singh et al., (2015) developed the Jamun enrich shrikhand. The
process of development of jamun inrich shrikhand (JES) was successfully optimized
using response surface methodology (RSM). They reported that 12.78% jamun pulp
powder and 30.66% sugar shows the higher impact on the colour (8.41), flavour
(7.98), sweetness (8.41), body & texture (8.69) and overall acceptability (8.33). The
jamun pulp powder showed maximum influence on colour, flavour and overall
acceptability whereas the sugar concentration greatly affects the sweetness and body
and texture.
Abhilasha et al., (2016) conducted a study on shrikhand preparation by

incorporation of different level of sesame seed oil such as 4, 8, 12, and 16 %. They
reported that 8% of the sesame seed oil was selected as optimum on the basis of
sensory parameters.
2.7 Physico-chemical composition of shrikhand
A wide variation in composition of shrikhand has been reported by

various workers.
Boghra and Mathur (1992) studied the major and minor constituents of
market shrikhand. They reported the average composition of major constituents s
moisture, 34.70; total solids, 65.30; fat, 3.6; protein, 7.0; ash, 0.39 per cent; whereas,
composition of minor constituents in mg/100g as calcium, 65.6; magnesium, 14.0;
phosphorus, 95.5; citrate, 24.9; sodium, 28.8; potassium, 57.1; chloride, 45.9; copper,
0.42; iron, 1.75 and zinc, 0.69.
Karthikeyan et al., (1996) reported the average chemical composition

of shrikhand prepared from buffalo skim milk as moisture 40.78 per cent, fat 6.03 per
cent, protein 8.66 per cent, and reducing sugar 3.71 per cent, non – reducing sugar

for preparation of shrikhand and stated the chemical composition as 4.92 per cent fat,
63.91 per cent total solids, 36.10 per cent moisture, 7.31 per cent protein and 1.22 per
cent acidity.
Ghatak and Dutta (1998) studied the composition and sensory quality

Kolape et al. (2010) preparation shrikhand by means of three levels of

papaya pulp viz., 10, 20, 30 per cent by weight of chakka and one level of sugar 35
per cent by weight of chakka were used and one control sample without papaya pulp
and 35 per cent sugar was also prepared for comparison. It was observed that the
moisture, fat, protein, total solid, lactose, total sugar, pH, acidity and ash contents of
shrikhand were determined.
Mali et al., (2010) studied on preparation of shrikhand with constant

level of sugar (40 per cent by weight of chakka) and different levels of papaya pulp
i.e. 0 (T1), 5 (T2), 10 (T3), 15 (T4) and 20 (T5) per cent by weight of chakka. Chemical
composition of shrikhand was affected by different levels of papaya pulp (per cent).
The fat, total solid and protein percentage were significantly highest in shrikhand
prepared without papaya pulp (0), while it was lower in shrikhand prepared with 20
per cent papaya pulp. The moisture and ash percentage were significantly the lowest
in shrikhand prepared without papaya pulp (0), while the highest in shrikhand
prepared with 20 per cent papaya pulp.
Shambharkar et al., (2011) conducted a study on shrikhand from cow

milk chakka by adding sapota pulp i.e. 5% (T1), 10% (T2), 15% (T3) and 20% (T4).
Fat contain of shrikhand, T1 (8.05%) showed highest fat contain among all the
treatments. Total solid contain of shrikhand was highest in T1 (65.67%) and lowest in
T5 (54.31%) for protein contain T1 (6.15%) was significantly higher than rest of
treatments. Titratable acidity was highest in T1 (1.86%) and lowest in T5 (1.69%).
23
Nadaf et al., (2012) studied on preparation of shrikhand by adding
gulkand and rose petal powder and revealed that the protein and fat content was
decreases as compare to control. The protein and fat was decrease in shrikhand due to
the lower protein and fat content in gulkand and rose petal powder but carbohydrate
content increases and also increase in ash content with increase with quantity of
gulkand.
Meena Mehta (2013) pointed out the chemical composition of branded

shrikhand of Amul, Aarey, Warna and Mahanand collected from Mumbai city. It can
be seen that the total fat content of the shrikhand was in the range 5.34% to 7.61%.
BIS value reported the total fat is 5%. The value of reducing sugar is related to
quantity of sugar added to make the product sweet. Total reducing sugar in the
shrikhand averaged to 48%, which is lower than the standard value. The higher value
of reducing sugar in the Warna brand shrikhand indicated that product has more free
aldehyde and ketone group. Milk and milk products are rich sources of proteins.
Protein value of shrikhand was determined which ranges between 5.4mg to
9.2mg/100g. The Aarey brand shrikhand was maximum protein of 9.2 mg/100g can
be recommended as source of protein. However, loose shrikhand with only 5.4
mg/100g sample is a poor source of protein. The samples were tested for their pH
value. It was found that shrikhand has acidic pH in the range 4.7 to 5.9. Loose
shrikhand has subnormal acidic pH of 4.7, which is lower than the permissible value.
The lower pH will retard the growth of certain bacteria and may increase the shelf life
of shrikhand. Also the result indicated that the moisture content of differently branded
shrikhand was in the range of 45% to 52%. Aarey brand shrikhand has 45% of
moisture while loose shrikhand had maximum moisture content.
Devid (2015) studied on preparation of shrikhand with basil (Ocimum

basilicum) extract, Taking the experimental results of the present investigation into
considerations, it can be concluded that the Herbal shrikhand prepared by
incorporating the 3% basil extract i.e., Treatment 3 (T3) outlaid the better organoleptic
properties viz, colour and appearance, body and texture, flavour and taste and overall
acceptability followed by treatment 2 (T2) i.e., with 2% basil extract. The physico-
chemical analysis results shows that treatment 4 (T4) with 4% basil extract possess
maximum moisture, protein, ash content, Antioxidant Activity, Acidity and pH while
24
the control sample (T0) has maximum Total Solids and Fat content.
2.8 Shelf life of shrikhand
Shelf-life refers to the time (in days or months) it retains its edible
qualities after production. Shrikhand has a higher keeping quality than dahi or
yoghurt due to higher sugar content. The keeping quality of shrikhand largely
depends on the method of preparation and initial microflora like yeast, mould and
other contaminations. The production also undergoes acidification during storage
which may lead to off flavours in the product.
Despite as high as about 50 per cent sugar on shrikhand, the product

know to developed off flavour and colour under commercial condition of storage. the
sugar apart from serving as sweetening agent also improve keeping quality of the
product (Traut and Schud, 1943) and retards developing oxidized flavour.
Gandhi and Jain (1977) reported the keeping quality of shrikhand

prepared from buffalo milk to be about 12-15 days under refrigeration temperature
(4.4- 10 0C) thereafter, increase in mould growth and acidity was observed.
Sharma and Zariwala (1980) observed that the shrikhand stored at 10±
3 0C could be preserved for about 40 days and shrikhand stored at 31 0C was spoiled
within one week.
Desai et al., (1985) observed a shelf life of shrikhand for more than 30
days at 10 0C prepared from homogenized and unhomogenized buffalo milk.
Upadhyay et al., (1985) studied the chemical changes during storage of

shrikhand at 7 ±2 0C and its relation with sensory quality. The product deteriorated
steadily upto 50 days as indicated by its titratable acidity, pH, proteolytic degredation
extent of lipolysis and reducing and non reducing sugar levels. The rate of detoriation
was faster at 7± 2 0C and the product became unacceptable in both the cases within 40
and 50 days, respectively.
Patel and Chakraborty (1987) reported data on organoleptic evaluation,

changes in acidity, pH, soluble nitrogen, total volatile fatty acids and the microflora,
particularly yeast, moulds and proteolytic count. The shelf life of shrikhand sample
was observed to be within the range of 28-35 days at 10 0C. However, the butter milk
25
shrikhand samples had a shelf-life of about 28 days at 10 0C.
Prajapati et al., (1993) prepared thermized shrikhand by subjecting it

to 5 post- production heat treatment viz. 55 0C/ 30 min.(T1), 60 0C/ 20min (T2), 65
0
C/10min (T3), 70 0C/5min(T4), 75 0C/2min (T5) and stored at 35-37 0C and 8-10 0C.
They observed that the heat treatment of shrikhand at 70 0C for 5 minutes yielded a
product with superior overall quality having shelf life of 15 days at 35-37 0C.
Similarly, in case of shrikhand stored at 8-10 0C, the samples became unacceptable on
70th days of storage, where as T2 and T5 had storage life greater than 70th days at 8-10
0
C.
Patel et al., (1993) reported that keeping quality of chakka prepared

from buffalo skim milk stored at 5, 10, and 300C on the basis of sensory
characteristics the shelf life of chakka was 4 days at 300C 109 days at 100C and 16
days at 50C. However, during storage the samples were criticized for being acidic,
yellow and the surface became hard and course.
Kadu et al., (1994) reported that shrikhand prepard from homogenized

cow milk could be stored upto 6 days at room temperature (26 ± 4 0C) and 1 days at
refrigeration temperature (8 ± 2 0C) while, shrikhand prepared from unhomogenized
cow milk could be stored upto 4 days and 1 days at room and refrigeration
temperature, respectively.
Rachakonda (1995) reported the keeping quality of shrikhand prepared

from cow milk using L. acidophilus under refrigeration to be about 50 days.
2.8.1 Organoleptic changes during storage
The chemical and microbiological changes brought about by

microorganisms and their enzymes during storage have influence on the keeping
quality and acceptability of fermented milk. Also the storage temperature has
influence on the keeping quality of fermented milk. Higher the temperature of storage
less will be the keeping quality, lower the temperature of storage more will be shelf
life of the product. Even at low temperature also the contaminants do grow but their
rate of multiplication is slow. The microorganisms bring about deterioration in the
product leading to unacceptability of the product.
26
Mahajan et al., (1979) reported the effect of storage temperature (30 ±
1ºC) on flavour of spray dried shrikhand prepared from cow and buffalo milk score
was given out of 10. On reconstitution flavour of the reconstituted product decreased
as the storage period increased in both cases. Initially at 0 day the score for flavour of
reconstituted product made from cow and buffalo milk was 8.5 and 8.2 on 45th day. It
was 8.1 and 7.5 for cow and buffalo milk product and it decreased to 7.0 and 5.8 on
90th day of storage at 30 ± 1ºC flavour of both the reconstituted product was
acceptable upto 45 days, but deterioration was rapid thereafter for buffalo milk spray
dried shrikhand powder than cow milk spray dried shrikhand powder.
Sharma and Zariwala (1980) studied deterioration of shrikhand during

storage. They collected 50 samples of shrikhand from different markets of Bombay
and Greater Bombay and prepared 25 shrikhand samples in the laboratory. The
samples were stored at 10 ± 3ºC and 37ºC while, laboratory samples were stored at
37ºC. organoleptic evaluation was done at fixed interval. The development of off
flavour and unpleasant odour in samples of shrikhand stored at 10 ± 3ºC was
observed to be very slow and the product kept well upto a period of 1 month whereas
market as well as laboratory samples of shrikhand stored at 37ºC developed off
flavour within a period of 7 days and become unacceptable. The colour index of the
samples increased rapidly during the first week of storage and thereafter it increased
gradually in all cases.
Upadhyay et al., (1985) prepared five lots of plain shrikhand using

mixed culture of streptococcus lactic and streptococcus diacetyl lactic DRC-1. The
product was stored at 7 ± 2ºC and -7 ± 2ºC for 50 days. Changes in sensory quality
(scores out of 18) of shrikhand during storage at both the temperatures was carried out
at an interval of 10 days. Fresh samples of shrikhand scored 16.40 marks. When the
samples were stored at 7 ± 2ºC the sensory score was same as that of fresh samples on
10th day of storage. Then it declined to 15.58, 14.82, 14.24 and 11.94 on 50th day of
storage. In case of samples stored at -7 + 2ºC the sensory score was 16.40, 15.74,
15.14, 14.72 and 13.52 on 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50th day of storage, respectively.
Shrikhand became unacceptable organoleptically within 40 days at 7 ± 2ºC and in 50
days at -7 ± 2ºC.
27
Sanyal et al., (1990) made use of preservatives for improving shelf life
of curd (dahi). Cow milk was heated at 90ºC for 10 min., cooled to 35ºC and mixed
with 0.5% agar agar as stabilizer by adding 1:10 melted solution. The milk stabilizer
mix was immediately inoculated with 3 per cent streptococcus lactis culture. After
incubation at 30ºC for 16 hours the firmly set dahi was heated at 75ºC for 10 min. in a
water bath with constant slow agitation, cooled to 30ºC and mixed with 0.1 per cent
sodium benzoate, 0.2 per cent potassium serbate and 6.5 per cent cane sugar. Control
sample was prepared without addition of stabilizer and preservatives. Both samples of
dahi were stored at 30 ± 2ºC and 4 ± 2ºC. Overall acceptability of the product was
done on the basis of 9 point hedonic scale. On sensory evaluation at 2 nd day the
control sample kept at 30 ± 2ºC and 4 ± 2ºC scored 7.22 and 7.44 marks out of 9
respectively. Control sample stored at 30 ± 2ºC and 4 ± 2ºC kept well only for 2 days
and 7 days respectively. Experimental sample of dahi was acceptable upto 20 days
and 45 days at 30 ± 2ºC and 4 ± 2ºC respectively. Overall sensory score for
experimental dahi sample stored at 30 ± 2ºC and 4 ± 2ºC was 8.47 on first day which
decreased to 7.07 and 7.20 on 20 and 45 days storage period, respectively.
Zakiwaski et al., (1991) reported effect of thermization on quality of

quarg. Quarg samples produced from thermized cultured milk pH 4.5 had a better
keeping quality at 7ºC than control produce without thermization.
Patel et al., (1993) reported the effect of various storage temperatures

(5, 10 and 30ºC) on sensory characteristics of chakka. Stored samples were evaluated
at fixed interval for flavour (55), body and texture (30), appearance (10) and colour
(5). Score for flavour decreased with increase in storage period. The flavour of chakka
was acceptable upto 16 days, 10 days and 4 days at 5, 10 and 30ºC respectively.
Spoiled samples were criticized as having acidic, sour, yeasty and mouldy defects.
Score for body and texture decreased with increase in storage period. Colour of the
chakka turned to dull and yellow towards the end of the storage. Appearance score of
fresh chakka also decreased gradually as the storage period progressed. This is
because the product turned dull in appearance and surface became dry due to loss of
moisture. Towards the end of storage, samples developed green discoloration due to
mould grown.
28
Prajapati et al., (1993) studied the quality appraisal of heated
shrikhand stored at refrigerated temperature (8-10ºC). post production heat treatment
(PPHT) was given to shrikhand, at 55ºC/30 min (T1), 60ºC/20 min (T2), 65ºC/10 min
90 (T3), 70ºC/5 min (T4) and 75ºC/2 min (T5). Shrikhand without PPHT was kept as
control. Sensory evaluation was carried by using yoghurt score card recommended for
yoghurt. Score was given out of 18. Total sensory score for fresh control sample was
16.17 which decreased to 13.76 on 30th day of storage. Sensory score for fresh T1
sample was 16.49 which decrease to 15.48 on 45th day of storage. T2, T3, T4 and T5
scored 16.70, 16.58, 16.59 and 16.64 marks, respectively for fresh samples of
shrikhand and decreased to 15.41, 15.49, 15.35 and 15.28 marks on 70th day of
storage. Unheated control sample became unacceptable after 45 days and T1 on 10th
day of storage at 8- 10ºC whereas heated samples (T2 – T5) had storage life greater
than 70 days.
Kadu et al., (1994) reported the sensory changes during storage of

shrikhand at 26 ± 4ºC and 8 ± 2ºC prepared from unhmogenzed and homogenized
cow milk. Organoleptic changes were evaluated using 9 point hedonic scale. At 0 day
the sensory score was 8.8 and 9 for unhomogenized and homogenized milk shrikhand,
which decreased to 6.8 and 7.4 during 6 days storage at 26 ± 4ºC temperature,
respectively. During storage at 8 ± 2ºC the sensory score decreased from 8.8 and 9 to
5 and 6.1 in shrikhand prepared from unhomogenized and homogenized cow milk
respectively. Thus, it was concluded that the unhomogenized cow milk shrikhand was
acceptable (like moderately) upto 4 and 10 days at 26 ± 4ºC and 8 ± 2ºC respectively,
and homogenized cow milk shrikhand was acceptable (like moderately) upto 6 and 12
days at 26 ± 4ºC and 8 ± 2ºC, respectively.
Rachakonda (1995) reported changes in sensory quality of shrikhand

prepared using L. acidophilus stored at refrigerated temperature. Changes in sensory
quality of product were evaluated on 9 point hedonic scale. Average sensory score for
fresh sample was 8.08 for control. Shrikhand (prepared using dahi culture) and 7.83
for shrikhand prepared using L. acidophilus culture. Sensory score decreased with
increase in storage period. However, the product was acceptable upto 40 days only.
The score was 7.28 for control shrikhand and 7.22 for L. acidophilus shrikhand
respectively on 50th day; the product was unacceptable with off flavour. The cups of
shrikhand showed yeast and mould growth on the surface.
29
Nigam et al., (2009) they reported that shrikhand prepared by added of
different levels of papaya pulp at 20, 40, and 60 per cent. On the basis of sensory
evaluation 20 per cent papaya pulp found most acceptable and keeping quality was to
be 14 days, when stored at the temperature of 50C.
Kumar et al., (2011) studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of

apple pulp on the quality characteristic of shrikhand. Various levels of apple pulp viz;
0, 10, 20, and 30 per cent apple pulp used in the preparation of shrikhand replacing in
chakka in the formulation. Further the use of celosia argentea as a colouring agent in
the preparation of the shrikhand congaing optimum level of apple pulp was explored.
On the basis of various sensory parameter shrikhand containing 20% apple pulp and
dried celosia argentea flower was selected as optimum. The product was further pack
in polyester cups and started under refrigeration condition at 4 0C for period of three
week. They observed that the mean sensory score was decrease with increase storage
period. Finally they concluded that the product was acceptable for period of three
week under refrigeration condition.
Landge et al., (2011) conduct the studied on preparation of shrikhand

using aswaganda powder as additive. They use ashwaganda powder @ 0, 0.3, 0.5 and
0.7 per cent with 40 per cent cane sugar (by weight of chakka) for manufacture of
shrikhand. The shrikhand prepared by addition of 0.5 per cent ashwaganda powder
(T2) was superior in other treatment. The sample was stored at 7 0C and sensory
quality evaluated at regular interval. They revealed that treatment T2 was acceptable
up to 52 days under refrigeration temperature while T0 was acceptable up to 37 days
and T1 and T3 up to 45 days in refrigeration storage.
Mehrotra et al., (2014) studied on effect of sugar replacement on

chemical composition of shrikhand. On the basis of organoleptic evaluvation
shrikhand was acceptable upto 30 per cent substitution of sugar with stevia extract
and 20 per cent substitution with stevia powder as compared to control recipe. The
most acceptable sample and control was stored in 21 days at refrigeration
temperature. During storage product (30 % stevia leaves and 100 sugar) was analysis
for sensory score at an interval of 7 days. The storage study reveals that there was a
decreased noticed in flavour score, colour and appearance, body and texture,
mouthfeel, and overall acceptability in both the control and sample shrikhand during
30
storage.
Parveez Ahmad Para (2015) preparation of a flavored shrikhand

(FSH), by addition of chiku pulp and orange pulp in equal proportion (50:50) that
constituted 14% of the total bulk of chakka, compared to normal shrikhand (SH). The
scores for appearance & colour of FSH (7.23 ± 0.13) and SH (7.09 ± 0.09), flavor of
FSH (7.33 ± 0.14) and SH (7.28 ± 0.10), texture of FSH (7.41 ± 0.12) and SH (7.47 ±
0.11), sweetness of FSH (7.05 ± 0.16) and SH (6.85 ± 0.14), and overall acceptability
of FSH (7.53 ± 0.20) and SH (7.65 ± 0.11) were the highest in fresh samples (0d), and
decreased significantly (P ≤0.05) with increase in storage period at and beyond 7days,
except appearance & colour, in which the difference was observed at and beyond 14
days.
2.8.2 Physico-chemical changes during storage

Fermentation is a metabolic process in which chemical changes are
brought about on organic substrate such as protein, carbohydrates or fat through the
action of enzymes liberated by specific microorganisms. The final product undergoes
chemical changes during storage which may lead to off flavours in the product.
Sharma and Zariwala (1980) reported the changes in chemical quality
of shrikhand sample collected from different markets of Bombay and Grater Bombay
and stored at 10 ± 30C the average moisture contents in all samples did not shows
marked variations irrespective of their storage temperature whereas the sample
containing higher moisture contents were found to deteriorate faster. No market
changes in fat contents of samples stored at 37 0C showed slightly decrease in their
initial level of fat and finally acquired off flavour and odour due to deterioration of
milk fat. The average pH level of shrikhand samples through remained almost
constant in all cases but its trend was observed towards lower side on storage. the
average acidity was found to increase in all cases, irrespective of storage temperature.
Sample stored at 37 0C showed marked. The volatile acidity of shrikhand sampled
increase in all cases irrespective of storage temperature. Sample stored at 370C
showed market changes. The average total protein content s in all cases registered
almost a constant level. The water soluble protein contents in all cases were observed
to increase. The level of sucrose content in case of shrikhand samples at 37 0C was
found decreasing. The decrease was comparatively less in case sample stored at 10 ±
3 0C. The reducing sugar content in all cases was found to decrease. The ash content
31
in all cases was found almost constant thereby showing no effect of storage.
Upadhyay et al., (1985) reported that chemical changes in stored

shrikhand and their relationship with organoleptic quality at 7 ± 2 0C and -7 ± 2 0C.
They reported that acidity increased during storage at both temperatures, more at 7 ±
2 0C. The study of photolytic changes indicated formal tritration and shilovich
tritration values increased on storage at both temperatures, changes being greater at 7
± 20C. the stored product become unacceptable after 40 days at 7 ± 20C and 50 days at
-7 ± 20C as judged by sensory score. All the chemical tests described except pH
showed significant correlation with sensory evaluation.
Prajapati et al., (1993) reported that the post production of heat

treatment (PPHT) of cultured milk products not destroyed majority of starter as well
as contaminating organisms but also reduced biochemical spoilage of the product and
thereby extended its shelf life.
Kadu et al., (1994) reported the chemical changes in shrikhand

prepared from unhomogenized and homogenized cow milk during storage at room
temperature (26 ± 4 0C) and refrigeration temperature (8 ± 2 0C). They reported that
there was decrease in moisture and fat content of shrikhand during storage at 26 ± 2
0
C and 8 ± 2 0C. Decrease was faster in unhomogenized milk shrikhand sample and in
sample stored at 26 ± 4 0C. It was observed that there was marked variation in SNF
per cent in the samples stored at room and refrigeration temperature. There was slight
increase in the SNF per cent due to loss of moisture of the product during storage at
both the temperatures. Acidity increased during storage period. Maximum increase
was found in the samples stored at room temperature than refrigeration temperature.
The study revealed that average shelf life of shrikhand prepared from unhomogenized
cow milk storage at 26 ± 2 0C and 8 ± 2 0C was 4 and 10 days, respectively, while
shrikhand prepared from homogenized cow milk can be stored at 6 and 10 days at 26
± 2 0C and 8 ± 2 0C, respectively.
Sonawane et al., (2007) was studied on effect of addition of different

of strawberry pulp and sugar on chemical composition of shrikhand during storage.
Two levels of sugar viz; 30 (S1) and 40 (S2) per cent and three levels of strawberry
pulp viz; 10 (P1), 15 (P2) and 20 (P3) per cent on weight basis of chakka were included
in the experimental trials, along with one control sample. The moisture content in all
32
the experimental samples was decreased during storage period. The acidity of
Shrikhand increased with pulp level which was 1.305 per cent in control and 1.385
per cent in S2P2 sample, when samples stored at room temperature. The average
soluble „N‟ in fresh product was 0.081 per cent which was increased to 0.20 per cent
on 11th day of storage under refrigerated temperature (5 ± 2 0C).
Navita et al., (2009) studied on shrikhand prepared using papaya pulp

incorporated in chakka to increase the nutritional quality and overall acceptability.
Papaya pulp was added at 20 per cent, 40 per cent and 60 per cent levels. She reported
that fat, protein, lactose, sucrose, ash and total solid content significantly increased
with increase in storage period of shrikhand at the temperature of 5 0C.
Langde et al., (2011) prepared shrikhand from ashwagandha powder
@ 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7% with 40% cane sugar (by weight of chakka), was mixed in
chakka for manufacture of shrikhand. The prepared product was stored at 70C in
refrigerator and chemically was monitored at regular interval. The moisture content
decreased with increase in ashwagandha powder level. Fat increased slightly with
increasing storage period up to 22 days. After 22 days, fat percentage indicated
decreasing trend. Among all treated samples, T2 was superior to T1 and T3. Increase in
protein content was due to ashwagandha powder. Total sugar in all treatment samples
and control sample indicated decreasing pattern. Total solids significantly indicated
increasing trend during storage period because total solids are correlated with
moisture per cent. Acidity indicated increasing trend in storage period because acidity
depends on presence of lactic acid bacteria in shrikhand samples. pH was also useful
for indication of deterioration of sample
Raghuwanshi et al., (2011) studied on effect of source and storage
interval on reducing and non reducing sugar control of shrikhand. Ten shrikhand
samples collected from the markets of Akola and Amravati and prepared in the
laboratory were stored at room temperature (30±20C) and at refrigeration temperature
(5+10C). The samples stored at room temperature were analysed daily till they got
spoiled i.e. for five days, while the refrigeration samples were analysed at an interval
of seven days till they got spoiled i.e. thirty five days, for the determination of content
of reducing and non-reducing sugar. Fresh shrikhand was having 2.96% reducing
sugar which increased to 3.39% during five days of storage and finally reached to
4.70% in 35 days of storage. There was decrease in non reducing sugar from 48.41 to
33
48.05 in first 5 days and thereafter to 40.80% in 35 days. Thus from the above study it
was concluded that with the decrease in non-reducing sugar, there was proportionate
increase in reducing sugar during storage for longer period was found.
chemical composition of shrikhand. On the basis of organoleptic evaluation shrikhand
was acceptable upto 30 per cent substitution of sugar with stevia extract and 20 per
cent substitution with stevia powder as compared to control recipe. The most
acceptable sample and control was stored in 21 days at refrigeration temperature.
During storage product (30 % stevia leaves and 100 % sugar) was analysis for
physico-chemical at an interval of 7 days. The storage study reveals that there was a
decreased noticed in fat, protein, moisture, ash with increase titratable acidity and pH
in both the control and sample shrikhand during storage.
Fermented milk products contain less number or contaminants when
fresh, it is the post manufacture contamination during storage that needs vigorous
checking. The contamination results into a considerable increase in population of
spoilage organisms, thereby lowering the keeping quality of the product. The most
common contaminants of milk and milk products are yeast, moulds and E. coli. Their
presence in the product beyond the standards specified is undesirable causing spoilage
of the product.
Sharma and Zariwala (1980) conducted storage study on laboratory

samples and market samples of shrikhand sold in Bombay. Market samples were
stored at 10 ± 3ºC and 37ºC and lactic acid producing organisms exhibited decreasing
trend in all cases irrespective to the preservative, aspects of high sugar contents in the
product. The total plate count was observed to be highly variable in all cases. The
variability in the total plate count may be attributed to the varying conditions under
which the product was prepared and marketed. The yeast and mould count did not
very much. The product become unfit for the consumption due to surface mould
growth in Shrikhand further added to discoloration of the product. The staphylococci
counts showed fluctuations without any marked increase which may again be
attributed to the preservative aspects of sugar. The proteolytic count increased in
storage and was found to be very high in spoiled samples. Gas production in all cases
was noticeable resulting in the samples acquiring spongy texture.
34
Upadhyay et al., (1984) reported microbial changes in stored
shrikhand and their application in predicting the sensory quality of the product.
Shrikhand was prepared using mixed culture of streptococcus lactic 10 and
streptococcus lactis subsp. Diacetylactis DRC -1 and the microbial and organoleptic
changes during storage at –7 ± 2ºC and 7 ± 2ºC were noted for about 50 days. Total
bacterial count and count of psychographs, acid producing bacteria and yeast and
mould increased steadily. The Coliform count was negative in all cases. Shrikhand
was unacceptable within 40 days at 7 ± 2ºC storage and 50 days at -7 ± 2ºC. Good
correlation was observed between different microbiological tests and also with
sensory evaluation. The suggested limit or microbial load is 85 x 105 cfu/g for total
bacterial counts, 18400 cfu/g for yeast and mould counts and absence of coliform in
0.1 g of shrikhand.
Dave et al., (1993) reported microbial changes during storage of

buffalo milk dahi prepared using streptococcus thermophilus MD2, MD8 or D3
starter. The dahi was stored at 37ºC for 48 hours or at 5-7ºC for 18 days. It was
observed that standard plate count increased (P < 0.05) with storage time at either
temperature and with total solids content throughout storage. Dahi prepared with
strain D3 had higher counts (P < 0.05) than that prepared with strain MD2 or MD8.
Yeast/mould counts of most samples remained within the standard of < 100/g during
storage for 24 h. at ambient temperature (37ºC) or 12 days at 5-7ºC, then increased
rapidly. A coliform count was within the limit of < 10/g initially but declined during
storage and was not detected after 48 hours at ambient temperature or 18 days at 5-
7ºC.
Prajapati et al., (1990) studied quality appraisal of heated shrikhand

stored at refrigerated temperature (8-10ºC). Shrikhand was subjected to give post
production heat treatments (PPHT) viz., 55 ºC/30 min. (T1), 60 ºC/20 min (T2),
65ºC/10 min (T3), 70 ºC/5 min (T4) and 75 ºC/2 min (T5). Untreated shrikhand was
kept as control. It was observed that initial total viable count (TVC) in case of control
and T2 sample decreased steadily as storage period progressed. There was increase in
TVC in T1, T3, T4 and T5 samples during storage period of 70 days. Acid produces
count (APC) in case of control, T1 and T2 samples showed decreasing trend during
storage. T3, T4 and T5 samples showed complete absence of APC during storage.
Liportylic count (LC) in control sample increased with increase in storage period.
35
Heat treated samples showed complete absence of Lipolytic organism during storage.
Proteolytic count (PC) case of control, T1 and T2 decreased during storage periods of
70 days at 8-10º C, T3, T4 and T5 samples showed complete absence of proteolytic
microorganisms during storage, yeast and mould count (YMC) increased in control
sample and samples T1 and T2 showed decreasing trend during storage period. T3, T4
and T5 samples showed complete absence of yeast and mould during storage. All the
samples including control showed absence of coliforms throughout the storage period
of 70 days at 8-10 ºC temperature.
Hassan et al., (1994) studied effect of fungicides on the keeping

quality of sour acidophilus milk. Buffalo milk with 2 per cent fat was heated at 90-95
ºC/30 min, then inoculated with 3 per cent L. acidophilus and added with (i) 0.02, (ii)
0.04 per cent potassium sorbet, (iii) 0.02 per cent delvocid (natamycin fungicide)
prior to incubation at 37 ºC. Then cultured milks were stored at 7 ºC for 25 days. It
was observed that the titratable acidity was initially slightly lower in treated samples
than control sample but increased in all samples during storage. The L. acidophilus
count increase during the first 4 days of storage in control and 8 days in treated
samples, then decreased, no yeast/moulds were detected in (ii) and (iii). Sample
throughout the storage period but were observed after 8 and 15 days in control and (i)
treated samples respectively, coliforms were detected after 8, 12, 15 and 25 days of
storage in control, (i), (ii) and (iii) treated samples respectively and small number of
spore formers were always present. Control (i), (ii) and (iii) treated samples
respectively had total sensory score of 17, 4, 17.0 and 17.4 when fresh and remained
acceptable for 8, 15, 21 and 21days. Addition of 0.04 per cent potassium sorbate or
0.02 per cent Delvocid is recommended for extending the shelf life of acidophilus
milk.
Rachakonda (1995) prepared therapeutic shrikhand using L.

acidophilus. Shrikhand was stored at refrigerated temperature for about 50 days.
Microbial quality of shrikhand was assessed in terms of SPC count during storage.
Decreasing trend of SPC count was observed during storage.
Sreeja Rajmohan and Prasad (1995) studied microbial changes in dahi

during storage. Dahi samples were added with nisin at 1000 IU/g curd or with a nisin
producing organism, which is capable of producing 1000 IU/g curd while, third
36
sample was kept as control. Samples were analyzed on 2nd, 3rd and 4th day of storage.
It was observed that addition of nisin did not alter the total lactic count during storage.
Nisin producing organisms multiplied during storage, yeast and mould count
increased on storage for all samples, indicating that nisin had no effect on these
organisms. However, coliforms were found to be within acceptable limits (< 10/g) for
all samples, possibly due to increased acidity during storage.
Sarkar et al., (1996) conducted study on incorporation of Gelodan TM

SB 253 (stabilizer cum preservative) and nisin on the microbiological quality of
shrikhand. Four combinations of (i) LF 40+ L. acidophilus + Leuconosto dextranicum
(3 + 1 + 1 %), (ii) same as in (i) + nisin 2.5 RU/ml, (iii) same as in (i) + Gelodan TM
SB 253 + nisin 25 RU/ml were selected to obtain dahi for shrikhand manufacture.
Nisin was added to dahi at the end of incubation and Gelodan TM SB 253 was added
to milk prior to autoclaving. Shrikhand prepared using above mentioned 4
combinations was stored at 15 + 1ºC and was assessed for microbiological quality
during storage. Lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacter aerogenes, yeast and mould,
proteolytic and lipotylic count increased with increase in storage period in all the 4
combinations. A gradual decline in E. coli count during storage and their inhibition by
lactic acid and antimicrobials elaborated by starter cultures was reported. Samonelia
shrigelia counts were nil in every sample of shrikhand during storage upto 20 days.
Salunke et al., (2005) they were study on microbiogical quality of

shrikhand sold in Maharashtra state. They were collect market samples of shrikhand
from twenty popular manufacturs five from each of the four cities of Maharashtra and
analysed for microbiological quality. The standard plate counts (SPC) and yeast and
mold counts (YMC) of the product ranged from 5.59 to 8.36 and 3.52 to 5.24 log
cful/g and square root transformed values of coliforms ranged from 1.00 to 5.67
cful/g. Microbiological differences among manufacturers of different cities were too
low to be significant. Almost all the samples did not meet the requirements for YMC
as laid down under BIS standards.
Kumar et al., (2011) conducted study on shrikhand with different

levels of apple pulp. Various levels of apple pulp viz; 0, 10, 20, and 30 per cent apple
pulp used in the preparation of shrikhand replacing in chakka in the formulation.
Further the use of celosia argentea as a colouring agent in the preparation of the
37
shrikhand congaing optimum level of apple pulp was explored. On the basis of
various sensory parameter shrikhand containing 20% apple pulp and dried celosia
argentea flower was selected as optimum. The product was further pack in polyester
cups and started under refrigeration condition at 4 0C for period of three week. They
observed that the plate count and psycrophilic count increased significantly where as
coliform count were not detected through the period of storage.
Landge et al., (2011) conduct the studied on preparation of shrikhand

using aswaganda powder as additive. They use ashwaganda powder @ 0, 0.3, 0.5 and
0.7 per cent with 40 per cent cane sugar (by weight of chakka) was use for
manufacture of shrikhand. They reported that one days control sample T0 had highest
microbial load (27.32x106 cfu/g) than rest of the treatment. It was followed by
ashwagandha treatment T1 (25x106 cfu/g) T2 and T3 sample showed least microbial
load than T0 and T1 due to level of ashwagandha. Treated sample showed decreasing
microbial load up to 15 days of storage. Similarly result observed in yeast and mould
count.

chemical composition of shrikhand. On the basis of organoleptic evaluvation
shrikhand was acceptable upto 30 per cent substitution of sugar with stevia extract
and 20 per cent substitution with stevia powder as compared to control recipe. The
most acceptable sample and control was stored in 21 days at refrigeration
temperature. During storage product (30 % stevia leaves and 100 sugar) was analysis
for TPC at an interval of 7 days. The initial day TPC was low for both (100% sugar
and 30 % Stevia powder) shrikhand sample. The mean values of TPC (log cfu g-1)
showed that number of microorganisms increases with increase in storage days. The
mean TPC ranged from 1.34 to 2.67 cfu g-1 for control shrikhand and from 1.00 to
2.34 cfu g-1 for sample shrikhand. The results of microbial characteristics revel that
the shrikhand sample can be stored up to three week under refrigerated condition.
2.10 Cost structure of shrikhand
Bachhav (2005) observed that lowest cost of production of plain

drinking yoghurt was 12.35 per kg while highest cost that is Rs. 15.32 per kg blended
with 9 per cent grape pulp.
38
Mali et al., (2010) observed that lowest cost of production of plain
shrikhand was Rs. 57.685 per kg while highest cost that is Rs. 68.585 per kg was
observed in shrikhand blended with 20 per cent papaya pulp.
Gavane (2010) observed that highest cost of production of plain

shrikhand was Rs. 47.90 per kg while lowest cost that is Rs. 46.55 per kg was
observed in shrikhand blended with 10 per cent custard apple pulp.
Achal Shambharkar (2011) pointed out the cost of production of 1 kg

shrikhand with addition of sapota pulp was lowest in shrikhand prepared with 20%
sapota pulp (Rs. 66.96)and highest in plain shrikhand (Rs. 68.80). Increase level of
sapota pulp- showed slight decrease in cost of production of shrikhand.

3.5 Packaging of shrikhand

The shrikhand was packaed in sanitized polystyrene cups, sealed and
kept for storage at 7 0C in refrigerator. The fresh and stored sampled were analyzed
for sensory, physico-chemical, antioxidant, colour and microbiological quality.
3.6 Organoleptic quality of shrikhand
Sensory evaluation of shrikhand was carried out by using 9-point
hedonic scale describe by (Gupta 1976). The product was evaluate by the panel of
judges from Dept. of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science and College of Food
Technology, VNMKV., Parbhani with respect to flavor, colour and appearance, body
and texture, mouthfeel and overall acceptability attributes.
3.7 Physico-Chemical analysis of shrikhand
Shrikhand samples from each combination was analyzed for the
following constituents
3.7.1 Titratable acidity
Titratable acidity of product (as per lactic acidity) was determined
according to the method specified in part-I of IS : 1479 (ISI, 1960) using 10 g sample.
Ten gram shrikhand sample was taken in a conical flask, it was mixed
with 10 ml of distilled water. Then few drops of phenolpthalin indicator were added
and titrated again 0.1 N NaoH solutions. The acidity as per cent lactic acid was
determined by using following formula.
No. of ml of 0.1 N NaoH required X 0.009
% Acidity (LA) = -----------------------------------------------------------
Weight of sample
42
3.7.2 Fat
The fat percent of shrikhand was determined by Chaudhari (1959).
Five gram of sample was weighted in the butryometer used for the
determination of fat content of cream. To it 10 ml of concentrated H2SO4 and 1 ml of
amyl alcohol was added. Then sufficient quantity of distilled water was added in order
to make the volume. The rubber stopper was fixed in the butrometer and the content
of the butyrometer were mixed thoroughly. It was place on water bath maintained at
70 0C till the sample was completely dissolved. It was centrifuged at 1400 rpm for 3-4
minutes and the reading of the fat was recorded.
3.7.3 Protein
Protein content of shrikhand was determined by the Microkjeldhal method
as described in ISI (1981)
Weight accurately about 3 g of the sample and transfer carefully to the

kjeldahl flask, taking precaution to see that particles of the sample do not stick in the
neck of the flask. Add 10.0 g of potassium sulphate, 0.5 g of mercuric oxide and 20
ml of sulphuric acid to the flask. Mix the contents, add boiling chips and heat the flask
carefully on the digestion apparatus until foaming stops and the contents have become
liquid. Continue the digestion with more vigorous heating until the contents of the
kjeldahl flask are completely clear and colourless. During the heating, mix the
contents from time to time. Boil the liquid vigorously for one and half hours after it
has become clear. Avoid local over-heating. Cool the contents of the flask to room
temperature and make up to volume in a 100 ml volumetric flask. Pipette 10 ml of
aliquot of the solution to the micro-kjeldahl distillation apparatus and make the
solution alkaline by 8 ml of sodium hydroxide-sodium thiosulphate solution and
steam distilation. Absorb the ammonia evolved in 5 ml of boric acid solution
containing 2 to 3 drops of the indicator. Collect about 25 ml of distillate and titrate
against the hydrochloric acid till violet colour appears.

3.7.4 Lactose/Sucrose
Lactose and sucrose were estimated as per the procedure described in
Indian Standards SP. (PART XI) -1981 for burfi with slight modification.
Weighed accurately 40 g sample of shrikhand in 100 ml beaker separately, add 50 ml
of hot water at 80 - 90 o C to it and mixed and transferred the contents to a 250 ml
volumetric flask and rinsed the beaker with hot water to make the volume to about 10
150 ml. The contents in the volumetric flask were mixed and cooled to room
temperature followed by addition of 5 ml of 10 % dilute ammonia and it was allowed
to stand for 15 min. The exact equivalent of 5 ml of 10 % dilute acetic acid was added
to neutralize the ammonia added. This was added 12.5 ml of zinc acetate solution
followed by 12.5 ml of potassium ferrocynide solution and mixed again. The contents
were made up to 250 ml mark using distilled water and allowed to settle and it was
filtered through Whatman filter paper No.1. The filtrate was marked as B1. From B1
50 ml was taken in to a 100 ml volumetric flask and 5 ml of concentrated HCL was
added followed by heating at 68o C for 5 minutes. It was cooled and neutralizes with
50 % NAOH and made up to 100 ml with distilled water and was marked as A1. The
solution marked as A1 was diluted 20 times (5 ml made up to 100 ml ) and B1 was
diluted 4 times (25 ml made up to 100 ml) and were marked as A2 and B 2
respectively. Both the solutions were taken in to a burette and titrated against the
mixture of 5 ml each of Fehling‟s 1 and Fehling 2 solutions added with a mixed
indicator. Similarly standard lactose and sucrose solutions were taken and titrated.
The lactose and sucrose contents in the shrikhand samples were calculated as follows
Titer value for standard lactose × 5 × 2
Lactose % =
Titer value for B 2
20 w1 2f2 f1
Sucrose % = [ - ]

Where,
W1 = weight in mg of sucrose corresponding to 10 ml of Fehling‟s solution
W2 = weight of the material taken for the determination
44
3.7. 6 Moisture
Moisture content of shrikhand was determined by standard procedure
as described by (Anonymous, 1959).
Two g of shrikhand sample was weighed in the moisture dish. 2 to 3 ml
of hot distilled water was added to make a paste, which was spread over entire bottom
of the dish. The dish was then placed on a hot plate and heated till colour of the
residue became light brown. The dish was then transferred to hot air oven maintained
at 100oC where it was heated for 20 minutes. Finally, the dish was transferred to
desiccators (containing calcium chloride) for cooling followed by subsequent
weighing. The heating, cooling and weighing was continued till there was no
difference in last two subsequent weights. The per cent moisture in shrikhand was
calculated by using following formula.
100 (W1 – W2)
Moisture (%) =
W1 – W
Where,
W1 is weight of dish and sample before drying in g
W2 is weight of dish and sample after drying in g
W is weight of dish in g
3.7.7 Total Solid
The total solids was determined as per the method recommended by
BIS for the milk IS: SP-18, 1981.
A clean dry empty porcelain crucible was kept in hot air oven
maintained at 100 0C for one and half hour cooled and weighted. Then 5 g of
shrikhand sample was weighted quickly. Crucible was placed in a hot water bath for
30 minutes. The crucible was removed and wiped, the bottom and transferred to oven
maintained at 100 0C. After 2 to 3 hours crucibles was immediately removed to
desiccators to cool for about 30 minutes and weighted, the crucible again returned to
oven and heated for one more hour and then transferred to desicator, cooled and
weighted as before. This process was repeated till difference between successive
weights did not exceed by 0.5 mg.

3.7.8 pH
The pH of Shrikhand samples was determined by potentiometric
method using a digital pH meter at a temperature of 250C. Firstly the pH meter was
standardized by using standard buffer solution pH 4 and 9. The electrode of pH meter
was directly dipped in to the shrikhand, the pH of shrikhand was observed on screen
of pH meter was recorded.
3.7.9 Viscosity
The viscosity of shrikhand samples were determined by using brook
viscometer. It is a versatile instrument for measuring the viscosity of Newtonian and
non Newtonian fluids. It is based on measurement of resistance to rotation of spindle
immersed in the test material. The instrument can also be classed as torsion
viscometer. Since the results are obtained by measuring torque on the rotary point of
the instrument. The measurement of torque on a spindle with constant speed of
rotation in test material is the basis of operation.
The Brooke DV-E viscometer measures fluid viscosity at given shear

rates. Viscosity is a measure of fluids resistance to flow. The principle of the DV-E is
the rotate spindle (which is immersed in the test fluid) through a calibrated spring.
The viscosity drag of the fluid against the spindle is measured by the spring
deflection. Spring deflection is measured with a rotary transducer which provides a
torque signal. The measurement range of DV-E (in centipoises or mili pascal seconds)
is determined by the rotational speed of the spindle, the size and shape of the spindle
is rotating, and the full scale torque of the calibrated spring. There are four basic
spring torque series offered by Brooke field.
Model Spring torque

Dyne-cm mili Newton-m
LVDV-E 673.7 0.0673
RVDV-E 7187.0 0.7187
HADV-E 14374.0 1.4374
HBDV-E 57496.0 5.7496
The higher the spring torque, the higher the measured range.
46
Spindle selection
LVDV-E viscometers are provided with a set of four spindles. The

spindles are attached to the viscometer by screwing them to the male copulating nut.
Calibration procedure
1. Placed the viscosity standard fluid (in the proper container) in to the water bath.
2. Attached the spindle to the viscometer. Attached chamber (SA-1Y) and clamp to the
viscometer.
3. Lower DV-E into measurement position; operate the viscometer at 10 RPM until the
chamber is fully flooded.
4. The viscosity standard fluid, together with the spindle, should be immersed bath for a
minimum of 1 hr., studying the fluid periodically (operate 10 RPM periodically),
prior to taking measurement.
5. After 1 hr. checked the temperature of the viscosity standard fluid with an accurate
thermometer.
6. If the fluid is out test temperature measure the viscosity and record the viscometer
reading. (Note: The spindle must rotate at least (5) times for one minute, whichever is

the combined, accuracies of the viscometer and standard. However, instrument
accuracy is + 2% of the maximum viscosity range at not the standard 1%.
3.8 Antioxidant activity assays.
3.8.1 Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)
FRAP assay developed initially to measure ferric reducing ability of
blood plasma (Benzie and Strain, 1996) has now been widely employed in a variety of
plant and food samples. The FRAP assay also takes advantage of the electron transfer
reactions, wherein a ferric salt, Fe (TPTZ)2 III, is used as an oxidant under acidic
conditions, PH 3.6. FRAP assay was performed according to the procedure described
by Benzie and Strain (1996) with some modifications. FRAP values are obtained by
comparing the absorbance change at 593 nm in test reaction mixtures with those
containing ferrous ions in known concentration. Aqueous solutions of known ferrous
ion concentration in the range 100-1000µl (FeSO4.7H2O) were employed for
calibration. Working reagent was prepared freshly each by mixing 300Mm acetate
buffer, pH 3.6, 10 Mm TPTZ in 40 Mm HCL and 20Mm FeCl3 in the ratio 10:1:1
47
(v:v:v). Briefly 3 ml of the FRAP reagent was mixed with 100µl of sample extract in
attest tube and vortexed. Absorbance readings were recorded after 4 min of sample
reagent mixing at a wavelength of 593 nm.
3.8.2 Cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC)
CUPRAC stands for „cupric reducing antioxidant capacity‟. This
method recently developed by Apak et al., (2004), measures the copper (II) or cupric
ion reducing ability of polyphenols. This is a simple and widely applicable
antioxidant capacity index for dietary polyphenols, vitamins C and E. It makes use of
the copper (II)- neocuproine [Cu(II)-Nc] reagent as the chromogenic oxidizing agent.
The method comprises mixing of the antioxidant solution with a
copper (II) chloride solution, a neocuproine alcoholic solution, and an ammonium
aqueous buffer at pH 7 and subsequent measurement of the developed absorbance at
450 nm after 30 min. Normal sample measurement is as follows:
To a test tube were added 1 ml each of copper (II) chloride solution

(10-2 M), Neocuproine solution (Nc) of 7.5 × 10-3 M, and ammonium acetate (NH4
Ac) buffer (pH 7) solutions. Antioxidant sample (or standard) solution (x mL) and
H2O (1.1-x mL) were added to the initial mixture so as the make the final volume
4.1mL. The tubes were stoppered and after one hour, the absorbance at 450nm was
recorded against a reagent blank. The standard calibration curve of each antioxidant
compound was constructed in this manner as absorbance versus concentration. The
molar absorptivity of the CUPRAC method for each antioxidant was found from the
slope of the calibration line concerned and the Antioxidant activity was expressed as
µmol Trolox g-1.
3.9 Colour measurement

Color measurements were conducted using ColorFlex Calorimeter at
Department of Horticulture, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani
colour measurement system equipped with dual beam xenon flash lamp and universal
software.
The instrument was calibrated prior to sample measurements with
standard black, white and green tile as prescribed by the supplier. The results were
represented by the L*, a*, b* notation. It is a 3D colour presentation method in which
L* is the lightness of colour and equals 0 for black and 100 for white. The a* is the
48
amount of red (0 to 60) or green (0 to -60) while b* is the yellowness (0 to 60) or
blueness (0 to -60).

3.10 Storage studies
The shrikhand samples were evaluated on the basis of sensory,
physico-chemical, antioxidant acidity, colour stability and microbial changes during
storage period at predetermined intervals at refrigeration temperature.
3.11 Microbiological changes
The microbiological changes that occurred during storage of shrikhand
were recorded in terms of standard plate count and yeast and mould count and
coliform count. The above changes were recorded up to 28 days in storage.
3.11.1 Preparation of dilutions
Exactly 11 grams of shrikhand sample was weighed and transferred to
a sterile glass mortar and about 20 ml of sterile saline solution from 99 ml blank was
added and smooth paste was made using the pastel, which was then transferred to a
sterile 250 conical flask. Another 20 ml of the buffer was poured in to the mortar,
rinsed thoroughly and transferred in the flask. Rest of the saline solution in 99 ml
dilution blank was poured in to the mortar, rinsed and transferred in the flask. The
content of the flask was mixed well. This represents the first dilution (1:10),
subsequent dilutions were prepared by transferring 1 ml in 9 ml sterile blanks.
3.11.1.1 Standard plate count
49
The standard plate count of the product was determined as per the
procedure described in IS 1962, part III (ISI: 1962) using pore plate method.
Using a fresh sterilized pipette, 1 ml of each dilution to sterile petri
plates were added, beginning with highest dilution and finishing with the lowest.
Nutrient ager media was melted and cooked to 45 ± 1 0C. The 10 ml of this melted
media was added to each plate and the content of the plate were inverted and
incubated in the incubator maintained at 37 ± 0.5 0C for a period of 48 hours. At the
end of the incubation period the plates were removed for counting the developed
colonies.
3.11.1.2 Yeast and mould
Potato dextrose agar (Hi media, India) was used to enumerate yeast
and mould counts in the shrikhand sample. The media contained 200 g potatoes
(infusion form), 20 g dextrose, 15 g agar per liter and pH was adjusted to 5.6 + 0.2.
To rehydrate the medium 39 g of PDA powder was suspended in 1000 ml distilled
water and boiled to dissolve the medium completely. It was then transferred to conical
flasks which were sterilized by autoclaving at 15 psi pressure (121 °C). The pH of the
media was lowered by using 10 % sterile tartaric acid solution. Yeast and mould were
enumerated following the standard protocol delineated in Indian Standards (SP: 18
Part XI - 1981). The plates were incubated at 30 °C for 48 hrs and counts were
expressed as cfu/g of the product.
3.11.1.3 Coliform count
Violet red bile agar (Hi media, India) containing 3 g yeast extract, 7 g
peptone, 1.5 g bile salts no. 3, 10 g lactose, 5 g sodium chloride, 15 g agar and 0.03 g
neutral red per liter was used to enumerate the coliform counts in shrikhand samples.
To rehydrate the medium 41.5 g of VRBA powder was suspended in 1000 ml distilled
water. The mixture was brought to boil to dissolve the media completely. The media
was cooled to 45 °C and 71 poured in to conical flasks (150 ml). This media was not
autoclaved. To each of the duplicate sterile Petri-dish 1 ml of 1:10 dilution of the
sample was added. 10 – 15 ml of melted (45 o C) VRBA was added to each of the
Petri dish and the contents were mixed well by rotating it horizontally. The media was
then allowed to solidify and then incubated after inverting the plates at 37 + 1 °C for
24 hrs and coliform count was expressed as cfu/g of the product.
3.12 Stastical analysis

It is revealed from above table that, the maximum and minimum flavor
score of shrikhand is in the range of 6.69 to 8.25. The mean flavour score of
shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were
7.66, 8.25, 7.52, 7.15 and 6.69 respectively. The treatment T2 was significantly
(P≥0.05) higher over T1, T3, T4 and T5. Moreover T1 and T3 are at par with each other
but T4 and T5 is significantly (P≤0.05) lower flavour as compare to T1, T2 and T3. It
was also observed from above finding that the shrikhand prepared with 3% black
carrot juice obtained highest flavour score as compared to other treatment. As the
level of black carrot juice increases the flavour score decreases significantly. Most of
the judges reported the carrotic flavour when higher level of black carrot juice was
used.
Present result about flavor score is in agreement with Gavane et.al.
(2010). According to them addition of different level of custard apple pulp
significantly affect the flavour of shrikhand. They conducted the study using 0, 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5 per cent custard apple pulp on the basis of chakka. They found that
54
shrikhand prepared with 2% (T2) custard apple was having highest flavour score as
compare to other levels. Whereas shrikhand prepared with 5% (T5) custard apple
obtained lowest flavour score. Similarly Singh and Paswan (2015) conducted a study
for optimization of the levels of jamun powder and sugar for preparation of shrikhand
by adopting response surface methodology. They use minimum 2.93% and maximum
17.70% jamun powder and minimum 22.93% and maximum 37.70% sugar in
preparation of shrikhand. Total 13 combinations with different levels of jamun
powder and sugar was studied. They found that 13% jamun powder and 30.66% sugar
was best suited in response to the flavour score of shrikhand. The higher levels of
jamun powder decrease the flavour score.

It is revealed from above table that, the maximum and minimum colour
and appearance score of shrikhand is in the range of 6.33 to 8.09. The mean colour
and appearance score of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice for treatment T1,
T2, T3, T4 and T5 were 7.65, 8.09, 7.35, 7.05 and 6.33 respectively. The treatment T2
was significantly (P≥0.05) higher over T1, T3, T4 and T5. Moreover T1 are at par with
superior but T5 is significantly (P≤0.05) lower colour and appearance as compare to
T1, T2, T3 and T4. It was also observed from above results that the shrikhand prepared
with 3% black carrot juice obtained highest colour and appearance score as compared
to other treatment. As the level of black carrot juice increases the colour and
appearance score decreases significantly. Most of the judges reported as the level of
black carrot juice increased the dark pinkish colour when higher level black carrot
juice use.
The present result about colour and appearance score is in good
accordance with the result reported by Chavanet.al. (2009). According to them
addition of different level of strawberry pulp and sugar significantly affect the colour
and appearance of shrikhand. They conducted a study using two levels of sugar viz;
30 and 40 per cent and three levels of strawberry pulp viz; 10, 15, and 20 per cent on
the basis of chakka including one control sample. They found that shrikhand prepared
with 40% sugar and 15% strawberry pulp was having highest colour and appearance
score as compared to other level including control sample. Similarly Gavane (2010)
also observed same result of shrikhand prepared using custard apple pulp. They
conducted the study using 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 per cent custard apple pulp on the basis
of chakka. They found that shrikhand prepared with 2% (T2) custard apple was having
highest colour and appearance score as compare to other levels. Whereas shrikhand
prepared with 5% (T5) custard apple obtained lowest colour and appearance score.

From table No. 10 it was revealed that body and texture score of
shrikhand samples was ranged from 6.30 to 8.17. The mean body and texture score of
shrikhand by using black carrot juice for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were7.35,
8.17, 7.83, 6.77 and 6.30 respectively. The treatment T2 was significantly (P≤0.05)

significantly (P≤0.05) lower body and texture as compare to T1, T2, T3 and T4. It was
also observed from above results that the shrikhand prepared with 3% black carrot
juice obtained highest body and texture score as compared to other treatment. As the
level of black carrot juice increases the body and texture score decreases significantly.
57
The incorporated shrikhand show a higher moisture than the control shrikhand.
Variation in body and texture score of shrikhand using black carrot juice might be due
to different levels of black carrot juice used.
The present result about body and texture score is in agreement with
Mali et al. (2010). They conducted the study on different levels of papaya pulp 0, 05,
10 and 20 per cent for preparation of shrikhand. They found that shrikhand prepared
with 20 per cent papaya pulp having highest body and texture score as compared to
other levels. Similarly Narayanan and Lingam (2013) also reported same results when
20% ripe banana improved the body and texture score over rest of the treatment. A
same kind of result was also observed by Shelkeet.al. (2014) about shrikhand
prepared with 6% alphanso mango pulp

Table 11 revealsthat, the maximum and minimum mouthfeel score of

shrikhand is in the range of 6.68 to 8.11. The mean mouthfeel score of shrikhand
prepared using black carrot juice for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were 7.75, 8.11,
7.38, 7.15 and 6.68 respectively. The treatment T2 was significantly higher (P≤0.05)

increases the mouthfeel score decreases.
The present findings were in good accordance with result reported by
Mehrotra et.al,(2014). According to them stevia powder and extract was used to
replace sugar for preparation of shrikhand. Stevia powder and extract were added in
different combination in the experimental products. Control, having 100% sugar was
also prepared. They found that best mouthfeel score of shrikhand prepared up to 30%
substitution of sugar with stevia extract and 20% substitution with stevia powder as

shrikhand prepared with 9 per cent black carrot juice. Variation in overall
acceptability score of shrikhand was obtained due to varied levels of black carrot
juice used. As the level of black carrot juice increases the overall acceptability score
was observed decreased.
The present result about overall acceptability score is in agreement
with Narayanan and Lingam (2013) According to them shrikhand was prepared from
dahi with a constant level of sugar (40%) and supplementing with banana pulp at 10%
(T1), 20% (T2) and 30% (T3). T0 served as control with no supplementation, sensory
analysis showed a significant difference in different sensory attributes of T2 sample
with the rest of the treatments. T2 (20%) supplementation of banana pulp to shrikhand
was much preferred. The scores for overall acceptability was highest in T2 (8.66) and
lowest in T0 (8.00) and it was significantly affected due to blending of banana pulp at
20% level. Sunil Kumaret.al., (2011) reported that, 20% supplementation of apple
pulp had a higher overall acceptability score than the control, 10 and 30%
supplementation levels.
3.5 Physico-chemical Composition of Shrikhand
Shrikhand using black carrot juice was subjected to physico-chemical
analysis viz., titratable acidity, fat, protein, lactose, sucrose, moisture, SNF, total
solids, pH and viscosity. The results obtained were presented in the following tables.

Table 13 indicated that the titratable acidity of shrikhand using black

carrot juice was ranged from 1.06 to 1.40 per cent. The mean titratable acidity of
shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice for treatments T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were
1.06, 1.11, 1.20, 1.29 and 1.40 respectively. The maximum titratable acidity (1.40%)
was observed in shrikhand prepared with9 per cent black carrot juice and minimum
titratable acidity was obtained shrikhand prepared with 0 per cent black carrot juice
used (1.07%).All the treatments are significantly different (p≤0.05) from each other.
However, the black carrot juice affects the titratable acidity of shrikhand. The per cent
titratable acidity of shrikhand increase might be due to the acidic nature of black
carrot juice.
The present findings were good in accordance with results reported by
Nigam et al.,(2009). According to them addition of different level of papaya pulp
significantly affect the titratable acidity of shrikhand. They conducted the study using
0, 20, 40 and 60 per cent papaya pulp on the basis of chakka. They found that levels
of papaya pulp increase with increased titritable acidity of shrikhand. Similarly
Sonavane et. al. (2007) also observed same kind of result in shrikhand prepared with
strawberry pulp using 0.5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 per cent. They found that the

3.6 Storage study
Self life refers to the edible qualities of food product after production.
Shrikhand has higher keeping quality than dahi or yoghurt due to higher sugar
content. The quality of shrikhand largely depends on the method of preparation and
75
initial micro flora like, yeast, mould and other contaminates. The product also
undergoes acidification during storage which may lead to off flavour.
The shrikhand stored at 70C was analyzed for organoleptic, physico-
chemical, antioxidant activity, colour and microbiological activity at an interval of 7
days. On the basis of sensory analysis product was analyzed or examined till it get
become unacceptable. In five trials were conducted for storage study. An organoleptic
change includes flavour, colour and appearance, body and texture, mouthfeel and
overall acceptability was recorded. The physico-chemical changes including titratable
acidity, fat, protein, lactose, sucrose, moisture, total solid and pH. Were determined
the colour stability on the basis of L*, a* and b*. Antioxidant activity on the method
of CUPRAC and FRAP was recorded. Finally the microbiology included total plate
count, yeast and mould count and coliform count was analyzed.
3.6.1 Organoleptic quality of shrikhand during storage
In any product development process, organoleptic attributes play a vital
role deciding acceptability of the product. The sensory parameters chosen to assess
the quality of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice viz flavour, colour and
appearance, body and texture, mouthfeel and overall acceptability.
3.6.1.1 Flavour
Flavour is an important criterion for determining quality of the
products, which interns of determines its acceptability. The data pertaining to flavour
score of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice of different levels at storage was

Fig. 16: Flavour score of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice during
storage at 7 0C
In all treatments the flavour score decreased with storage period

increases. From the above result it is indicated that treatment T1 and T3was rejected in
77
refrigeration storage after 21 days and treatment T4 was rejected after 14 days
whereas T5 was rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in flavour score
might be due to oxidation of fat and microbial activity increase during storage period.
Present results are in agreement with Para (2015). According to him

equal proportion of chiku and orange pulp was significantly affect the flavour score
of shrikhand during refrigeration storage. They conduct the study on flavour
shrikhand prepared by addition of chiku and orange pulp in equal proportion (50:50)
that constitute 14% of the total bulk of chakka, compared to normal shrikhand at 7,
14 and 21 days of storage under refrigeration (4±10C). They concluded that the
flavour score of shrikhand deteriorate under refrigeration preservation in 21 days
during storage. Similarly Mehrotra et. al. (2014) for the preparation of shrikhand by
stevia powder and stevia extract was used to replace sugar. Stevia powder and extract
were added in different combination in the experimental product and control having
100% sugar was also prepared. The organoleptic evaluation of products was done by
panel of judges and select shrikhand 30% substitute of sugar with stevia extract and
20% stevia powder as compared to control recipe. They stored the selected sample in
refrigeration and concluded that flavour score of shrikhand significantly decreases
with increase storage period.

for further study in refrigeration storage. Treatment T1 and T3 was rejected in
whereas T5 was rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in colour and
appearance score might be due to darkness of pink colour increase during storage
interval.
The present result about colour and appearance score in good

accordance with the result reported by Mehrotra et. al. (2014) for the preparation of
shrikhand by stevia powder and stevia extract was used to replace sugar. Stevia
powder and extract were added in different combination in the experimental product
and control having 100% sugar was also prepared. The organoleptic evaluation of

Fig. 18: Body and texture score of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice
In all treatments the body and texture score decreased as the storage
interval increases. From the above result it is indicated that treatment T2 sample was
more chances for further study in refrigeration storage. Treatment T1 and T3 was
rejected in refrigeration storage after 21 days and treatment T4 was rejected after 14
81
days whereas T5 was rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in body
and texture score might be due to grainy texture increase during storage period.
The present results are agreement with results reported Para (2015).
According to him equal proportion of chiku and orange pulp was significantly affect
the flavour score of shrikhand during refrigeration storage. They conduct the study on
flavour shrikhand prepared by addition of chiku and orange pulp in equal proportion
(50:50) that constitute 14% of the total bulk of chakka, compared to normal shrikhand
at 7, 14 and 21 days of storage under refrigeration (4±10C). They concluded that the
body and texture score of shrikhand deteriorate under refrigeration preservation in 21
days during storage i.e. flavoured shrikhand 7.41 ± 0.12 to 4.33 ± 0.12 and normal
shrikhand 7.47 ± 0.11 to 4.28 ± 0.10.

The present results are agreement with results reported by Para (2015).
According to him equal proportion of chiku and orange pulp was significantly affect
the overall acceptability score of shrikhand during refrigeration storage. They conduct
the study on flavour shrikhand prepared by addition of chiku and orange pulp in
equal proportion (50:50) that constitute 14% of the total bulk of chakka, compared to
normal shrikhand at 7, 14 and 21 days of storage under refrigeration (4±10C). They
concluded that the overall acceptability score of shrikhand deteriorate under
refrigeration preservation in 21 days during storage i.e. flavour shrikhand 7.53 ± 0.20

al.(1993) reported that the overall acceptability score of chakka decreased with
increase storage. Jain, 2003(a) Nigam et al., (2009), Bhat et al., (2010) and Kumar et
al, (2011) also reported decline in the sensory parameters of various dairy based
products during refrigeration storage.
4.6.2 Physico-chemical changes of Shrikhand during storage
4.6.2.1 Titratable acidity
The titratable acidity of shrikhand prepared using different levels of
black carrot juice during storage period was determined. The result obtained for
titratable acidity were presented in table 28 and graphically represented in Fig. 21

CD at 5% 0.014 0.042 0.054 0.0766 0.042
Table 28 indicated that the titratable acidity of shrikhand prepared

using different levels of black carrot juice increased as the titratable acidity increases
in storage period. The titratable acidity of shrikhand at 28 days of storage for T1, T2,
T3, T4 and T5 was 1.30, 1.40, 1.58, 1.77 and 1.98% respectively at 7 0C. The mean
titratable acidity of control sample during storage for treatment T1 (0 to 28 days) was
86
1.04, 1.10, 1.16, 1.23 and1.30 per cent. It was consistently increases the titratable
acidity of shrikhand with increase in days of storage at 7 0C. Moreover the storage of
shrikhand reveals that fresh shrikhand was having 1.04% titratable acidity during 0
day and finally reached 1.30% titratable acidity in 28 days storage. The interaction
between storage temperature and storage interval did affect significantly the titratable
acidity of shrikhand.
The mean titratable acidity of shrikhand for treatment T2 (0 to 28 days)
was 1.14, 1.16, 1.26, 1.32 and 1.40 per cent. It was consistently increases the
titratable acidity of shrikhand with increase in days of storage at 7 0C. Moreover the
storage of shrikhand reveals that fresh shrikhand was having 1.14% titratable acidity
during 0 day and finally reached 1.40% titratable acidity in 28 days storage. The
interaction between storage temperature and storage interval did affect significantly
the titratable acidity of shrikhand.
Fig. 21: Effect of different level of black carrot juice on per cent titratable
acidity of shrikhand during storage in 7 0C
was 1.26, 1.22, 1.33, 1.47and 1.58 per cent. It was consistently increases the
storage of shrikhand reveals that fresh shrikhand was having 1.26% titratable acidity
87
storage of shrikhand reveals that fresh shrikhand was having 1.35%titratable acidity
storage of shrikhand reveals that fresh shrikhand was 1.47% titratable acidity during 0
day and finally reached 1.98% titratable acidity in 28 days in storage. The interaction
between storage temperature and storage interval did affect significantly of titratable
acidity of shrikhand. All the treatments are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) from
each other during storage.
The titratable acidity was increase with increase storage period of
shrikhand. This effect might be due to acidic nature of black carrot juice and
microbial activity of shrikhand during storage. The present results are in good
accordance with the results reported by Mehrotra et. al(2014). They prepared
shrikhand using 30% sugar replacement with stevia leaves. She reported that
shrikhand stored at 7 0C in 0 to 21 days titratable acidity increased with increased
storage period i.e. 0.99 to 1.08. Sonawane et al., (2007) observed the same pattern of
results, shrikhand preparation using strawberry pulp. In their observation also
increases the titratable acidity.
4.6.2.2 Fat
The fat content of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice under
different treatment combinations during storage period was determined. The result
obtained for fat was presented in table 29 and graphically represented in fig. 22
88

The perusal from table indicated that the fat of shrikhand prepared
using different levels of black carrot juice increased as the levels of black carrot juice
increases irrespective storage period. The fat of shrikhand at 28 days of storage for T1,
T2, T3, T4 and T5 was 9.72, 9.65, 9.51, 9.41 and 9.25 % respectively at 7 0C
temperatures. The mean fat of shrikhand (control) during storage for treatment T1 (0
to 28 days) was 9.83, 9.81, 9.77, 9.75 and 9.72 per cent. It was consistently decreases
the fat of shrikhand with increase in days of storage at 7 0C. Moreover the storage of
sample reveals that fresh shrikhand was having 9.83% fat during 0 day and finally
lowest 9.72% fat in 28 days storage. The interaction between storage temperature and
storage interval did affect significantly the fat of shrikhand.

respectively. With increasing black carrot juice in shrikhand, the corresponding value
for total antioxidant activity was found to decrease progressively during storage
period. Enhanced extraction of phenolic compounds, flavonoids and anthocyanins in
black carrot juice are key antioxidant components responsible for higher antioxidant
activity. Additionally the acylated nature of black carrot anthocyanins confers it still
higher antioxidant activity than monomeric anthocyanins. All treatments are
significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) from each other during storage. The present results
are agreed with Senem Kamiloglu et al., (2015), they reported that antioxidant
capacities of black carrot were significantly decreases in manufacturing of black
carrot jam and marmalade processing during storage period at 4 0C.

respectively, T2 66.28, 67.28, 68.18, 69.71 and 70.34 respectively, T3, 60.21, 60.85,
61.67, 62.92 and 63.70 respectively, T4 55.51, 56.58, 57.86, 59.29 and 61.15
respectively and T5 52.05, 54.00, 55.85, 57.50 and 59.10 respectively. Maximum L*
value was recorded for treatment T1 and minimum value was recorded for treatment
T5 but treatment T1 L* value of shrikhand in 0 to 28 days was decreased whereas
106
other treatments T2, T3, T4 and T5 L* value i.e. brightness was increased during
storage period. L* value of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice represents
degree of brightness. All treatments are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) from each
other during storage. This effect due to color intensity was increase in storage of
shrikhand. This is a main property of black carrot juice to increase pink colour in low
pH and violet colour in neutrals pH. From the above result agree with Abhilasha et
al., (2016). They observed same result in L*, shrikhand prepared from sesame seed
oil. They reported that sesame seed oil level increase in shrikhand L* were increased
but control sample mean value was decreased.

black carrot juice (14.92) and minimum for T5 shrikhand prepared using 9% black
carrot juice (1.58) but treatment T1 b* value of shrikhand in 0 to 28 days was
decreased whereas other treatments T2, T3, T4 and T5 b* value i.e. yellowness was
increased during storage period. A positive value of b* represents a degree of
yellowness. This effect due to color intensity was increase in storage of shrikhand.
This is a main property of black carrot juice to increase pink colour in low pH and
violet colour in neutrals pH. Abhilasha et al., (2016) reported the result in mean b*

2.71 cfu g of treatment T5 (9% black carrot juice) respectively. During 0 days in
storage period all treatment were non significant (p ≥ 0.05) with each other and 7, 14,
21 and 28 days of storage all were significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) with each other.
From the above result showed that mean value of total plate count (log
cfu g -1) a significantly increasing trend with increasing storage days and treatment T1
to T5 microbial load were decreased with increases the black carrot juice in shrikhand.
This effect may be due to antioxidant effect of black carrot juice in shrikhand. Jain
(2003) observed a similar increase in total plate count while studying the
microbiological quality of milk nuggets at refrigeration temperature. Sunil kumar et
al., (2011) also reported the similar results during the refrigerated storage of
shrikhand from apple pulp and celosia argetea.

From the above result showed that mean value of yeast and mould (log
cfu g -1) significantly increasing trend with increasing storage days and treatment T1
to T5 microbial load were decreased with increases the black carrot juice in shrikhand.
It may be due to antioxidant effect of black carrot juice in shrikhand. The present
results are in good accordance with the results reported by Landge et al.,(2011). They
conducted the study on shrikhand prepared with ashwagandha powder. They observed
that shrikhand stored in refrigeration at 7 0Cand microbiology evaluated at regular
interval. They concluded that yeast and mould count increases with increases storage
period. Similar observations are in agreed with Prajapati et al., (1993).
Fermented milk product s are not suitable for the growth of coliform
because the low pH and acidity of the fermented milk inhabits the growth of these
microorganism. It was observed that coliform were absent in fresh as well as all
sample of shrikhand in storage at 7 0C.
The absence of coliform is mostly due to the low pH, high acidity and
sugar concentration of the product, which prevent the growth these microorganism.
The acceptable limit of coliform in the product is 0-5 cfu/g.
4.7Production cost of shrikhand prepared using different levels of black carrot
juice
Production Cost of shrikhand prepared using different levels of black
carrot juice was worked out and it was presented in Table 43 and graphically
represented in Fig. 36.
112
While estimating the cost of finished product, the cost of ingredient
used in the prepared shrikhand using different levels of black carrot juice rated as per
prevailing market price. From Table 38 observed that, cost of production of shrikhand
(per kg) for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were Rs127.67, 127.52, 127.42, 127.32 and
127.21 respectively. Though there was no much variation in the cost of production of
shrikhand using black carrot juice.
Shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice proportionally reduce the
cost of production. The cost of production of addition of black carrot juice shrikhand
could be lowered further if the same was manufactured on large scale. The cost of
production of plain shrikhand T1 (control) was considered to be more than the
shrikhand prepare using black carrot juice. Increased level of black carrot juice
showed slight decreased in production cost of shrikhand. This difference was occurs
due to the addition of black carrot juice, which was available at lower cost. Lower
cost of production was observed in case of treatment T5. However, the best treatment
selected by judges was T2 (where addition of 3 per cent black carrot juice to
shrikhand was done).
From the above study it could be concluded that a novel type
shrikhand could be prepared using 3 per cent black carrot juice. Further due to
addition of black carrot juice at higher scale could reduce the cost of production. The
present result is good accordance to Gavane et al., (2010). He conducts the study on
shrikhand prepared by using different levels of custard apple pulp. They reported that
levels of custard apple increases the similarly cost of production was decreases.

CHAPTER-V
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The present investigation entitled “Studies on Preparation of Shrikhand

By Using Black carrot Juice” was under taken during Ph.D. studies. The purpose of
the present investigation was to explore the possibility of good quality shrikhand from
the blends of black carrot juice with chakka. The technological aspect studied were
the effect on the physico-chemical properties, sensory quality, colour stability,
antioxidant properties, shelf life and cost structure of finish products.
5.1 Summary
Shrikhand prepared from buffalo milk chakka with black carrot juice
can be considered as a novelty product, a healthful fermented food. Along with plenty
of anthocynins and total flavonoids, black carrot juice is an anticancer and good
natural colourents and having high antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant property.
Hence in the present investigation attempts have been made to explore the possibility
of using black carrot juice for the preparation of shrikhand.
The investigation has carried out as per treatment, buffalo milk chakka
as prepared and utilized for preparation of shrikhand using black carrot juice for
further studies.
T1: Shrikhand prepared with 100% buffalo milk.

The shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice was subjected to
sensory evaluation of the product i.e. flavour, body and texture, colour and
appearance mouthfeel and overall acceptability. Physico-chemical composition of the
product for determination of titratable acidity, fat, protein, lactose, total sugar,
moisture, solids not fat, total solids, pH and viscosity. Shelf life of the product was
measured in terms of sensory evaluation, physico-chemical changes, microbial
changes, antioxidant activity and colour stability during storage at 7 0C. The product
was stored till it became unacceptable. The cost of production per kg of shrikhand
116
was worked out by taking into account the prevailing market price of the ingredients.
The statistical analysis was carried out by using Completely Randomized Block
Design with the five treatments and five replications.
The result obtained in present investigation are summarized and
concluded in this chapter.
5.2 Chemical quality of buffalo milk
The buffalo milk used in the present study for preparation of shrikhand
contains on average 83.8±0.6 per cent moisture, 6.4±0.4 per cent fat, 3.93±0.3 per
cent protein, 4.9±0.3 per cent lactose, and 16±0.2 per cent total solids.
5.3 Chemical composition of black carrot juice
The average per cent composition of black carrot juice in the present
study was as total phenolics 270.74 (GAE/100), total flavonoids 94.38 mg/100ml,
anthocyanin 2434.5 mg/L, ascorbic acid 7.7mg/L, Moisture 88 per cent, dry matter 12
per cent, brix 8 per cent, acidity 0.24 per cent and pH 5.78.
5.4 Chemical composition of chakka
The curd mass known as chakka is the base material of shrikhand.
Average per cent physic-chemical composition of chakka was as moisture 69.70 per
cent, fat 14.7 per cent, protein 13.56 per cent, lactose 2.52 per cent, total solids 31.31
per cent, pH 4.72 and titratable acidity 0.94 per cent.
The acceptability of black carrot juice blended in shrikhand was
measured in terms of sensory attribute such as flavour, colour and appearance, body
and texture, mouthfeel and overall acceptability of the product by the panel of the
judges, using “9 point Hedonic scale”.
5.5.1 Flavour
The average score of flavour of shrikhand by using black carrot juice

for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were 7.66, 8.25, 7.52, 7.15 and 6.69 respectively.
The maximum score 8.25 was observed for treatment T2 followed by treatment T1, T3,
T4 and T5 treatments. This indicates that level of black carrot juice increases the
flavour score decreases. Most of the judges remark that carrotic flavour increase when
higher levels of black carrot juice used in shrikhand.
117
5.5.2 Colour and appearance
The maximum score for colour and appearance was observed for
treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were 7.65, 8.09, 7.35, 7.05 and 6.33 respectively. The
treatment T2 was higher over T1, T3, T4 and T5. This observation indicates that as the
proportion of black carrot juice increased there was decrease colour and appearance
score. This may be due to dark pinkish colour when higher level of black carrot juice
use. That‟s why judges dislike the used of black carrot juice in shrikhand of higher per
cent.
5.5.3 Body and texture
Treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 showed the average score of body and
texture of shrikhand were 7.35, 8.17, 7.83, 6.77 and 6.30 respectively. The maximum
score 8.17 was observed for treatment T2 followed by treatment T3, T1, T4 and T5
treatments. Addition of black carrot juice was found decrease in body and texture
score of shrikhand. This effect on body and texture might be due to moisture content
black carrot juice was higher than normal shrikhand.
5.5.4 Mouthfeel
Treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 showed the average score of mouthfeel
of shrikhand were 7.75, 8.11, 7.38, 7.15 and 6.68 respectively. The maximum score
8.11 was observed for treatment T2 followed by treatment T1, T3, T4 and T5
treatments. Addition of black carrot juice was found decrease in mouthfeel score of
shrikhand.
5.5.5 Overall acceptability
It was observed that shrikhand prepared from buffalo milk chakka
blended with black carrot juice used in the 3 per cent judged by panelist as excellent
quality with extremely to very much overall acceptability. The overall acceptability
was highest in treatment T2 (8.05) followed by treatment T1 (7.83), T3 (7.13), T4
(6.80) and T5 (6.24) treatments.
5.6 Physico-chemical analysis of shrikhand

The pH of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice was in the range
of 4.25 to 4.49. The higher pH of T1 (4.49) was obtained in shrikhand prepared from 0
per cent black carrot juice where as lowest pH of shrikhand was found in T5 ( 4.25)
i.e. shrikhand prepared from 9 per cent black carrot juice.
5.6.10 Viscosity
Viscosity of shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice was in the
range of 16149.20 to 55706.20 cp. The higher total solids content in T5 (55706.20 co)
was obtained in shrikhand prepared from 9 per cent black carrot juice where as lowest
total solids content of shrikhand was found in T1 (16149.20 cp) i.e. shrikhand
prepared from 0 per cent black carrot juice.
5.7 Storage study
5.7.1 Organoleptic quality of shrikhand during storage
5.7.1.1 Flavour
In storaged sample flavour score decreased with storage period

increases. From the result it is indicated that treatment T1 and T3 was rejected in
whereas T5 was rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in flavour score
might be due to oxidation of fat and microbial activity increase during storage period.
120
5.7.1.2 Colour and appearance
In storage treatments sample colour and appearance score decreased as
the storage period increases. From the result it is indicated that T2 was chances for
further study in refrigeration storage. Treatment T1 and T3 was rejected in
whereas T5 was rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in colour and
appearance score might be due to darkness of pink colour increase during storage
interval.
5.7.1.3 Body and texture
During storage sample body and texture score decreased as the storage
period increases. From the result it is indicated that treatment T2 sample was more
chances for further study in refrigeration storage. Treatment T1 and T3 was rejected in
refrigeration storage after 21 days and treatment T4 was rejected after 14 days whereas
T5 was also rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in body and texture
score might be due to grainy texture increase during storage period.
5.7.1.4 Mouthfeel
During storage of shrikhand mouthfeel score were decreased as the
storage period increases. From the result it is indicated that T2 was chances for further
study in refrigeration storage. Treatment T1 and T3 was rejected in refrigeration
storage after 21 days and treatment T4 was rejected after 14 days whereas T5 was
rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in mouthfeel score decreases
might be due to lactose and fat degradation and microbial activity increase in storage.
5.7.1.5 Overall acceptability
During storage sample overall acceptability score were decreased as
the storage interval increases. From the result it is indicated that T2 was chances for
further study in refrigeration storage. Treatment T1 and T3 was rejected in
refrigeration storage after 21 days and treatment T4 was rejected after 14 days whereas
T5 was rejected after 07 days. In case of shrikhand variations in overall acceptability
score might be due to overall sensory score decreases during storage.

123
significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) from each other during storage. This effect might
due to acidic content of black carrot juice and microbial activity of shrikhand during
storage.
5.7.3 Antioxidant activity
5.7.3.1 CUPRAC
Total antioxidant activity is a unique parameter that quantifies the
ability of a complex biological sample to scavenge free radicals. Total antioxidant

and 5.44. With increasing black carrot juice in shrikhand, the corresponding values
for total antioxidant activity was found to decrease in FRAP assays during storage.
All treatments are significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) from each other during storage.
5.7.4 Colour Analysis
The colour value in term of L*, a* and b* of shrikhand prepared using
different levels of black carrot juice during storage period was measured using
Colouriflex EZ colorimeter.
The mean L* value for shrikhand (0 to 28 days) treatments T1 was
84.67, 84.16, 83.69, 83.13 and 82.69 respectively, T2 66.28, 67.28, 68.18, 69.71 and

value was recorded for treatment T5 but treatment T1 L* value of shrikhand in 0 to 28
days was decreased whereas other treatments T2, T3, T4 and T5 L* value i.e.
brightness was increased during storage period. L* value of shrikhand prepared using
black carrot juice represents degree of brightness. All treatments are significantly
different (p ≤ 0.05) from each other during storage.
The mean a* value for shrikhand (0 to 28 days) treatments T1 was
1.53, 1.41, 1.28, 1.19 and 1.13 respectively, T2 11.93, 11.52, 11.09, 10.84 and 10.21
respectively, T3, 15.11, 14.64, 14.28, 13.79 and 13.33 respectively, T4 17.31, 16.64,

respectively. T5 1.58, 1.95, 2.39, 2.93 and 3.43 respectively. Maximum b* value was
recorded for shrikhand T1 prepared using 0% black carrot juice (14.92) and minimum
for T5 shrikhand prepared using 9% black carrot juice (1.58) but treatment T1 b*
value of shrikhand in 0 to 28 days was decreased whereas other treatments T2, T3, T4
and T5 b* value i.e. yellowness was increased during storage period. A positive value
of b* represents a degree of yellowness.
The microbial changes include total plate count, yeast and mould count
and coliform count. The microbial changes were recorded at interval of 7 days.
5.7.5.1 Total plate count (log cfu g -1)
The mean total plate count (log cfu g -1) of shrikhand using different
treatment during storage, treatment T1 (0 to 28 days) were in ranged from 1.44 to 3.05
-1 -1
cfu g for control sample and 1.43 to 2.93 cfu g of treatment T2 (3% black carrot
125
juice), 1.44 to 2.87 cfu g -1 of treatment T3 (5% black carrot juice), 1.42 to 2.78 cfu g -
1
of treatment T4 (7% black carrot juice) and 1.41 to 2.71 cfu g -1 of treatment T5 (9%
black carrot juice) respectively. During 0 days in storage period all treatment were
non significant (p ≥ 0.05) with each other and 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of storage all
were significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) with each other. From the above result showed
that mean value of total plate count (log cfu g -1) a significantly increasing trend with
increasing storage days and treatment T1 to T5 microbial load were decreased with
increases the black carrot juice in shrikhand.
5.7.5.2 Yeast and mould count (log cfu g -1)
-1
The mean yeast and mould count (log cfu g ) of shrikhand using
different treatment during storage, treatment T1 (0 to 28 days) were in ranged from
2.37to 5.40 cfu g -1 for control sample, 2.35 to 5.31 cfu g -1 of treatment T2 (3% black
carrot juice), 2.37 to 5.26 cfu g -1 of treatment T3 (5% black carrot juice), 2.35 to 5.13
cfu g -1 of treatment T4 (7% black carrot juice) and 2.36 to 5.02 cfu g -1
of treatment
T5 (9% black carrot juice) respectively. During 0 days in storage period all treatment
were non significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) with each other but 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of
storage all were significant (p ≤ 0.05) with each other. From the above result showed
that mean value of yeast and mould (log cfu g -1) significantly increasing trend with
increasing storage days and treatment T1 to T5 microbial load were decreased with
increases the black carrot juice in shrikhand.
Fermented milk products are not suitable for the growth of coliform
because the low pH and acidity of the fermented milk inhabits the growth of these
microorganisms. It was observed that coliform were absent in fresh as well as all
sample of shrikhand in storage at 7 0C.
The absence of coliform is mostly due to the low pH, high acidity and sugar
concentration of the product, which prevent the growth these microorganism.
5.8 Production cost of finished product
In was observed in plain shrikhand (T1) has highest production cost i.e.
Rs. 127.67 per kg, while lowest cost i.e. Rs. 127.21 per kg was observed in shrikhand
prepared by using 9 per cent black carrot juice (T5). Cost of production of shrikhand
(per kg) for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were Rs 127.67, 127.52, 127.42, 127.32
and 127.21 respectively. Though there was no much variation in the cost of
production of shrikhand using black carrot juice.
126
Shrikhand prepared using black carrot juice proportionally reduce the
cost of production. The cost of production using black carrot juice shrikhand could be
lowered further if the same was manufactured on large scale. The cost of production
of plain shrikhand T1 (control) was considered to be more than the shrikhand prepare
using black carrot juice. Increased level of black carrot juice showed slight decreased
in production cost of shrikhand. This difference was occurs due to the addition of
black carrot juice, which was available at lower cost. Lower cost of production was
observed in case of treatment T5. However, the best treatment selected by judges was
T2 (where addition of 3 per cent black carrot juice in preparation of shrikhand was
done).
5.9 Conclusion
From the result obtained during present investigation, following

conclusions were drawn:
1. Taking the experimental results of the present investigation in to considerations, it

could be concluded that the shrikhand prepared using 3% black carrot juice
Treatment T2 outlaid the better organoleptic properties namely, flavour, colour
and appearance, body and texture, mouthfeel and overall acceptability followed by
treatment T1, T3, T4 and T5.
2. The physico- chemical analysis results shows that Titratable acidity, protein,
moisture, and viscosity was increases with increases levels of black carrot juice
while fat, lactose, sucrose, solid not fat, total solid and pH decreases with
increases levels of black carrot juice.
3. The storage study sensory score treatment T2 was acceptable upto 28 days and T1
and T3 were acceptable up to 21 days and T4 was 14 days, while treatment T5
acceptable upto 7 days.
4. The physico-chemical analysis of shrikhand during storage results shows that fat,
protein, lactose, sucrose, total solid, pH, antioxidant activity was decreased and
titratable acidity, moisture and colour stability was increased.
5. Microbial analysis of shrikhand concluded total plate count and yeast mould count
increases with storage period where as coliform count was absent.
6. Further, due to addition of black carrot juice at higher level can reduce its cost of
production. Such a value added, novel product having superior quality but lower
127
price can fetch more consumers and good price in the market benefiting the
producer.
As per FSSAI guidelines, all the nutrients were in prescribed range.

There was significant difference between and within the treatments.

ABSTRACT
Shrikhand was prepared using different levels of black carrot juice to
increase nutritional quality and overall acceptability. In preparation of shrikhand
different levels of black carrot juice was 0%, 3%, 5%, 7% and 9% on the basis of
chakka was added and result obtained that shrikhand prepared using 3% black carrot
juice i.e., Treatment T2 outlaid the better organoleptic properties viz, flavour, colour
and appearance, body and texture, mouthfeel and overall acceptability followed by
treatment T1, T3, T4 and T5. The physico- chemical analysis results shows that
tritratable acidity, protein, moisture, and viscosity was increases with increases levels
of black carrot juice while fat, lactose, sucrose, solid not fat, total solid and pH
decreases with increases levels of black carrot juice. Further analysis of shelf life
shrikhand stored at 7 0C and concluded that treatment T2 was acceptable up to 28 days
while T1 and T3 were acceptable up to 21 days and T5 was 14 days. The physico-
chemical analysis of shrikhand during storage results shows that tritratable acidity,
fat, protein, lactose, sucrose, total solid and pH was decreased and tritratable acidity,
moisture, antioxidant activity and colour stability was increased. Similarly
microbiology in storages total plate count and yeast and mould count was increased
but treatment T5 TPC and YMC lower growth as compare to treatment T1. Couliform
count was absent in shrikhand during overall storage period. Moreover, due to
addition of black carrot juice at higher level can reduce its cost of production. Such a
value added, novel product having superior quality but lower price can fetch more
consumers and good price in the market benefiting the producer. As per FSSAI
guidelines, all the nutrients were in prescribed range. There was significant difference
between and within the treatments.
