1. SMP
Note: kindly note that 6 bags / every 100 bags and not per whole consignment. For e.g. If you
receive 500 bags at your end you have to randomly collect 30 bags from them for sampling.
The whole lot should be unloaded and while unloading randomly bags should be collected and
marked separately for sampling.
Take out the sample from each bags separately. ( all the 6 bags separately and mark them from 1 to
6)
Make composite sample by mixing the smp from each bags in equal proportion. (for e.g. say 25 gm
from each bag. ) this composite sample should be made in laboratory.
The composite sample should be divided into two portions, one for analysis at unit end and one
should be sent to Mumbai.
Analyse the sample for all the parameters as per our Parle specification.
In case of failure in any parameter, re sampling from another bags and retesting should be done to
confirm the rejection.
a) Appearance: The material should be smooth in feel. If found gritty then material should be
rejected. The material shall be white or white with greenish tinge or light cream in colour. It
shall be free from lumps except those that break up readily under slight pressure. It shall be
free from extraneous matter
b) Odour: The odour of the Skimmed Milk Powder shall be pleasant and clean. It C should have
typical milky note.
In case of any deviation in appearance and odour the consignment should be rejected.
c) Taste: Prepare 10 % milk solution by dissolving 10 Powder in 90 ml of g of luke warm water
(40-50 °C). It should have a milky note, There should not be any objectionable or off taste.
(soda, chemical, muddy extreme sweet, salty). It is recommended that this test should be
done by a group of trained people. This test is the most important and in case of any slight
deviation the material should be rejected.
Chemical analysis is to be done once the consignment is found ok for the appearance, odour
and taste.
Protein and Ash estimation takes longer time; it should be initiated simultaneously.
The whole consignment of SMP should be kept aside and in case of failure the material
should be sent back. QA approval has to be sought before consuming the material in
production. In case of any deviation the consignment should be rejected.
PROCEDURE:
Weigh about 5-10 g of sample in Aluminium dish & keep it in an air oven for hour at a
temperature of 100+/- 2° C. Then remove the dish from the oven cove it with lid & cool it in
a desiccator. After cooling, weigh the disc again && note t reading. Continue the heating for
half an hour, till the difference between two successive weight readings is 5 mg.
CALCULATION:
CALCULATION:
% Acidity (as lactic acid)= 9xN NaOH X B.R./ Weight of Sample in 10 ml solution taken for test
Note: During reconstitution we are dissoiving 10 gms of sample to make 100 m volume, so for
%Acidity calculate the sample wt. In 10 ml solution takén for titration. Otherwise determine solid not
fat in the sample by deducting moisture and milk fat and calculate acidity in terms of ml of 0.1N
NaOH/ 10 gm Milk solids not Fat as per requirement of A 11.02.11 as shown below.
Acidity in terms of ml. =vol of 0.1 NaOH required for titration x N of NaOH x100 x100 x10/[100
( M+F) ]xwt of sample
F= Fat % of sample
M= Moisture % of sample
PROTEIN
Protein is determined by kjehldahl's method. The weight of the sample to be taken is 0.5 g.
PRINCIPLE:
Kjeldahl's method for determining total nitrogen involves first heating the sample with conc. Sulfuric
acid. The reaction rate is accelerated by adding sodium sulphate to raise the boiling point. The
catalyst used is copper sulphate. The oxidation causes the nitrogen to be converted to ammonium
sulphate. After making alkaline with conc. NaOH, the liberated ammonia is distilled into HCI. The
protein content is obtained by multiplying total nitrogen by an empirical factor.
REAGENTS: Conc. Sulphuric acid Copper Sulphate ( LR ) Sodium Suiphate ( LR ) Granulated Zinc
1.1 N HCI: 8.5 ml conc. HCI per 1000 ml of distilled water and then standardize as follows:
Accurately weigh about 0.15 g of primary standard anhydrous sodium carbonate, that has been
heated in the oven at a temp of 270 °C for 1 hr. Dissolve it in 100 Or Water and add 2 drops of
methyl red TS. Titrate with HCI to faint pink colour. Heat the solution to boiling and continue
the titration until the pink colos. doesn't disappear. Each 52.99 mg of sodium carbonate is
equivalent to 1 mi 0.1 N HCI.
0.1 N NaOH: 4 g of Analar Sodium Hydroxide per 1000 ml of distilled wateran. then standardize as
follows: Transfer 0.5 g of potassium bipthalate, previously dried at 105 °C for 2 hrs ane
accurately weighed to a flask and dissolve it in 75 ml of carbon dioxide free water Add 2 drops
of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate against NaOH solution to permanent pink colour. Each
204.2 mg of potassium bipthalate is equivalent to 1 ml of 0.1 N NaOH
Normality of NaOH =Wt. of Potassium bipthalate/ 0.2042 X ml of NaOH used for titration
PROCEDURE:
Weigh accurately about 0.5 g. of sample and transfer to a Kjeldahl's digestinn flask. Add 0.3 g. of
CuSO4 and 10 g of Na2SO4 to the flask. Add 25 ml of conc. H2SO4 and heat the flask gently in an
inclined position till the clear soln. is obtained. Then heat the flask on a high flame for 3 hrs (total
digestion time 3.5 to 4 hrs). Then cooi the digestion mixture to the room temp. Wash the digest into
the distillation assembly. To the the distilling flask with distilled water. Arrange the distillation
assembly. To thes receiving flask add 50 ml. of 0.1 N HCI using a volumetric (bulb) pipette with 2-4
drops of methy! red indicator. Connect the distillation apparatus with the delivery tube dipping in
the HCI solution. To the distillation flask add Zn metal pieces Then carefuliy add digestion mixture to
the flask. Rinse it with water. Add 90 ml of 45% NaOH soln. to it. Add sufficient water to the
assembly flask. Check whether thet is airtight. Start the water flow through the condenser. Start
heating the solution. Distil the liberated NH3 into HCI soln. Continue the heating till thrice the initial
vol. of HCI in the receiving flask is obtained. Open the tap & wash down the condenser & the
delivery tube into the receiver. Now put off the burner. the distillate with 0.1 N NaOH till pale
vellow colour is obtained. Perform the blank i.e. take 50 ml. of 0.1N HCI in a beaker using a
volumetric (bulb) pipette and titrate against the 0.1 N NaOH used for the test. Titrate For the
calculation on MSNF basis find out the Fat % by soxhlet method and take the value for calculation.
CALCULATIONS:
% Nitrogen = (B S) X 1.4 X normality of NaOH/ Wt. of the sample
% Protein On MSNF Basis = % nitrogen x empirical factor x 100/ 100 (Moisture% + Fat %)

Reagents
1.Prepare 10% solution of Skimmed milk Powder. Take 5ml. In a test tube. gms of soyabean
powder. Mix the contents thoroughly by shaking the e tube. After 5 minutes, dip a red litmus paper
in it. Remove the paper after 1. minute. A change in colour from red to blue indicates the presence
of urea in the sample.
2. If required maintain a positive/ standard tube treating the 5 ml milk sout with 0.1 gm urea
simultaneously in the same manner as given in above st no. 1. to compare the colour change.
SUCROSE TEST: Take 10 ml of 20% milk solution. Add 0.1 g of resorcinol and 2- 3 drops of conc. HCl
and boil in water bath for 2 min. A rose red colour indicates the presence of sucrose.
DETECTION OF STARCH AS AN ADULTERANTS: Milk powder adulterated with starch can be detected
qualitatively by performing following test
STARCH TEST:
REAGENT: lodine solution: Add sufficient iodine to 100 ml of 1 % potassium iodide soiution to
colour it deep yellow
PROCEDURE Boil 5 ml of milk sample for 1 min and cool. Add 2-3 drops of iodine solution. A
characteristic blue-purple colour indicates the presence of starch. Result should always be negative.
PROCEDURE:
1. Take 0.5 gm of the sample under examination & mix it with 5 ml of a 5%% Solution of Urea.
2. Stopper the tube and heat at 40°C in a water bath for 3 hours placing a strip of red litmus paper
at the side
3. The litmus paper should be placed in such a way that it should not touch the sides of a test tube.
Paper should hang at the top of the test tube and also paper should not be dipped in the test
solution. lue owing to th
