Effect of quality of milk and sugar level on composition and yield of Malai-Poori – A traditional milk product of Varanasi

The yield of malaipoori was estimated using cow, buffalo and mixed milk and 4, 8 and 12 percent level of sugar on product weight basis. Production was found to be variable with different types of milk and various levels of sugar. The average yield of malaipoori was estimated as 13.50, 12.50 and 13.16 per cent respectively from buffalo, cow and mixed milk. The effect of interactions of different types of milk and various levels of sugar on yield of malaipoori were found to be highly significant (p < 0.01). The fat and protein contents of malaipoori were influenced by kind of milk samples and sugar content. A highly significant difference was also observed in the chemical composition viz. moisture, protein, total solids and ash content of malaipoori in M₁, M₂ and M₃ groups of milk (p<0.01).
