A technology for low calorie flavoured milk was developed by using artificial sweeteners and through cream separation from buffalo milk. Three type of flavoured milks viz. toned milk; doubled toned milk and skim milk were prepared using the developed standardized technology. A reduction in calorie of 30.59 per cent, 36.09 per cent and 43.54 per cent was achieved from these milks, respectively, in comparison to flavoured milk prepared using sugar. Economics of the production of flavoured milks was calculated and it was found that with a capital investment of about one lac, a monthly income of about Rs. 20,000 can be generated by an entrepreneur using this technology.
