Preparation of Golden kulfi from buffalo milk blended with safflower milk

In the present study attempt has been made to develop golden kulfi from buffalo milk and safflower milk with most economic alternative. Golden kulfi prepared from different proportions of buffalo milk and safflower milk is as 100:0 (T₀), 80:20 (T₁), 60:40 (T₂), 40:60 (T₃). The sensory score for overall acceptability of Golden kulfi of treatments T₀, T₁, T₂, and T₃ were 8.54, 8.08, and 6.99, respectively. It was observed that though the Golden kulfi prepared from 80 parts buffalo milk and 20 parts safflower milk (T₁) was closer to control in acceptability. The acceptability for treatment T₂ and T₃ was rated between like moderately to like very much for all sensory attributes. On an average the golden kulfi of treatment T₁ contained 11.30 per cent fat, per cent protein, 33.54 per cent total solid, 22.01 per cent SNF, 18.58 per cent sucrose and 1.90 per cent ash. Cost of production of golden kulfi of T₀ treatment was Rs. 47.89/kg which was drop down to Rs. 43.98 (T₁), 37.78 (T₂) and 32.78 (T₃). The main advantage of using safflower milk is that it does not contain cholesterol. It is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which helps in reducing blood cholesterol.
