The dairy sector in the India has shows remarkable development in the past decade and
India has now become one of the largest production of milk and value-added milk prdocuts
in the world. The dairy sector has developed through co-operatives in many parts of the
state. The state had 73 milk processing plants. In addition to these processing plants, 123
government and 33 co- operatives milk chilling center operate in the State.
Dairy is a place where handling of milk and milk products is done and technology refers to
the application of scientific knowledge for practical purpose.Dairy technology has been
defined as that branch of dairy science , which deals with the processing of milk and the
manufacture of milk products on an industrial scale. In developed dairying countries such
as the U.S.A whereas the rural areas were identified for milk production , the urban
centres were selected for the location of milk processing plants and product
manufacturing factories.
India has the highest livestock population in the world with 50% of the buffaloes and 20% of
worlds cattle population. Most of these are milch cows and milch buffaloes. India dairy
industry is considered as one of the most successfully developed industries from post
independence period.
Dairy industry is dominated by the cooperative sector , about 60% of the installed
processing capacity is in the cooperative sector. Dairy Cooperatives account for the major
share of processed liquid milk marketed in India.
In India, dairying has been practised as a rural cottage industry since the remote past. The
high cost of Milk production, problems of sanitation etc; restriced the practice; and
gradually the family cow in the city was eliminated and city cattle were all sent back to
the rural areas.
The Indian Dairy Industry has made rapid progress since independaence. A large number of
modern milk plants and products factories have since been established.

1. Milk sampling
Accurate sampling is the first pre-requisite for fair and just quality control system. Liquid
milk in cans and bulk tanks should be thoroughly mixed to disperse the milk fat before a
milk sample is taken for any chemical control tests.
Milk samples for butterfat testing may be preserved with chemicals like Potassium
dichromate. Milk samples that have been kept cooling a refrigerator or ice-box must first
be warmed in water bath at 40 ºC, cooled to 20ºC, mixed and a sample then taken for
butterfat determination. Other preservative chemicals include Sodium acid at the rate
of 0.08% and Bronopol used at the rate of 0.02%.
The fat content of milk and cream is the most important single factor in determining
the price to be paid for milk supplied by farmers in many countries. Also, in order to
calculate the correct amount of feed ration for high yielding dairy cows, it is
important to know the butterfat percentage as well as well as the yield of the milk
produced.
Butterfat tests are also done on milk and milk products in order to make accurate
adjustments of the butterfat percentage in standardized milk and milk products.
Fresh milk at approximately 20ºC should be mixed well. Samples kept cool for some days
should be warmed to 40ºC, mixed gently and cooled to 20ºC before the testing .
• Procedure:
Add 10 mIs sulphuric acid to the butyrometer followed by 10.94 or 11 mls of
well mixed milk. Next add 1 ml of Amyl alcohol, insert stopper and shake the
butyrometer carefully until the curd dissolves and no white particles can be
seen. Place the butyrometer in the water bath at 65ºC and keep it there until
a set is ready for centrifuging. The butyrometer must be placed in the
centrifuge with the stem (scale) pointing towards the centre of the
centrifuge. Spin for 5 min. at ll00 rpm. Remove the butyrometers from the
centrifuge. Put the butyrometers in a water bath maintained at 65ºC for 3
min. before taking the reading. The fat column should be read from the
lowest point of the meniscus of the interface of the acidfat to the 0-mark
of the scale and read the butterfat percentage.
- The ends of the fat column should be clearly and sharply defined.
- The water just below the fat column should be perfectly clear.
Procedure :
Mix the milk sample gently and pour it gently into a measuring cylinder (300-500).
Let the Lactometer sink slowly into the milk. Read and record the last Lactometer
degree (ºL) just above the surface of the milk. If the temperature of the milk is
different from the calibration temperature (Calibration temperature may be=20 0C )
of the lactometer, calculate the temperature correction. For each ºC above the
calibration temperature add 0.2ºL; for each ºC below calibration temperature
subtract 0.2 ºL from the recorded lactometer reading.
●Pasteurization
Pasteurization is the process of heating a liquid to below the boiling point to destroy
microorganisms. It was developed by Louis Pasteur in 1864 .
Types of Pasteurization:
There are basically two methods of pasteurization in use today batch and continuous flow.
In the batch process, a large quantity of milk is held in a heated vat at 65°C. for 30 minutes,
followed by quick cooling to about 4°C.
In the continuous flow process also known as HTST, for high temperature, short time, milk is
forced between metal plates or through pipes heated on the outside by hot water.
While flowing under pressure, the milk is held at 72°C. for at least 16 seconds. Before being
chilled
back to 4°C. or cooler, it flows through a heat exchanger to pre-warm cold milk just entering
the system.
:-Procedure
Neutralization with lime water/sodium bicarbonate/ caustic soda increases ash
content and alkalinity of ash. Take 20 ml of milk in a silica dish, evaporate on a
water bath and keep in muffle furnace at 550ºC to get white ash. Dissolve the ash
obtained in 10 ml of water and titrate with 0.1 N HCI. The titer of more than 1.2
ml indicates the presence of neutralizers in milk.
Procedure:
The test is done by mixing equal amounts of milk and 68% of ethanol solution in a small
bottle or test tube. (68 % Ethanol solution is prepared from 68 mls 96%(absolute)
alcohol and 28 mls distilled water). If the tested milk is of good quality, there will be
no coagulation, clotting or precipitation, but it is necessary to look for small lumps.
The first clotting due to acid development can first be seen at 0.210.23% Lactic acid.
For routine testing 2 mls milk is mixed with 2 mls 68% alcohol.
ACIDITY TEST
Bacteria that normally develop in raw milk produce more or less of lactic acid. In the acidity
test the acid is neutralized with 0.1 N Sodium hydroxide and the amount of alkaline is measured.
From this, the percentage of lactic acid can be calculated. Fresh milk contains
in this test also "natural acidity" which is due to the natural ability to resist pH changes .The
natural acidity of milk is 0.16 0.18%. Figures higher than this signifies developed acidity
due to the action of bacteria on milk sugar.
Apparatus:
• 9 ml of the milk measured into the porcelain dish/conical flask,1 ml Phenopthalein is added and
then slowly from the burret, 0.1 N Sodium hydroxide under continuous mixing, until a faint pink
colour appears. The number of mls of Sodium hydroxide solution
divided by 10 expresses the percentage of lactic acid
Resazurin Test
Resazurin test is the most widely used test for hygiene and the potential keeping quality of raw milk.
Resazurin is a dye indicator. Under specified conditions Resazurin is dissolved in distilled boiled
water. The Resazurin solution can later be used to test the microbial activity in a given milk sample.
The 10 min Resazurin test is useful and rapid, screening test used at the milk
platform.
The 1 hr test and 3 hr tests provide more accurate information about the milk
quality, but after a fairy long time . They are usually carried out in the
laboratory.
Apparatus and reagent:
- Resazurin tablets
- Test tubes with 10 mls mark
- 1 ml pipette or dispenser for Resazurin solution.
- Water bath thermostatically controlled
- Lovibond comparator with Resazurin disc 4/9
Procedure :
The solution of Resazurin as prepared by adding one tablet to 50 mIs of distilled
sterile water. Rasazurin solution must not be exposed to sunlight, and it should not
be used for more than eight hours because it losses strength. Mix the milk and with
a sanitized dipper put 10 mls milk into a sterile test tube. Add one ml of Resazurin
solution, stopper with a sterile stopper, mix gently the dye into the milk and mark
the tube before the incubation in a water bath, place the test tube in a Lovibond
comparator with Resazurin disk and compare it colourimetrically with a test tube
containing 10 ml milk of the same sample, but without the dye (Blank).

MILK PLATE COUNT AGAR (7703)
Intended Use:-
Milk Plate Count Agar is used for the isolation and enumeration of
microorganisms in milk and dairy
products in a laboratory setting. Milk Plate Count Agar is not intended
for use in the diagnosis of disease or
other conditions in humans.
:-Product Summary and Explanation
Liquid milk and other dairy products are highly perishable and can spoil
in a few days. Contamination of raw milk can arise from several
sources including, soiled udders, inadequately cleaned milking
equipment, and
poor handling and processing of samples. Prolonged or improper
holding of dairy products may permit microbial contamination to
increase. Bovine mastitis may cause contamination with
Staphylococcus aureus,
Streptococcus agalactiae, E. coli and other microorganisms. Poor
cleaning of the milking equipment may
cause contamination with streptococci, coliforms, or heat resistant
Bacillus spp. Spoilage of pasteurized or
raw milk by proteolytic psychrotrophic bacteria can occur on prolonged
storage below 7C
Milk Plate Count Agar is equivalent to the medium recommended by
the British Standard Institution1,
International Dairy Federation2, and International Organization for
Standardization3 for the enumeration of
microorganisms in liquid milk, ice cream, dried milk, and whey.
Principles of the Procedure
