Studies on physico-chemical properties of shrikhand from buffalo milk blended with sweet corn milk

In this study, the attempt have been made to prepared shrikhand from blends of sweet corn milk and buffalo milk in different proportion and study the chemical composition shrikhand. On an average the moisture content of Shrikhand blended with sweet corn milk was found to be 32.5, 33.8, 34.3 and 35.9 per cent, fat 9.3, 8.4, 7.4 and 6.5 per cent, protein 9.14, 8.72, 8.33 and 7.74 per cent, ash 0.84, 0.73, 0.64 and 0.45 per cent, carbohydrate 60.3, 65.2, 70.3 and 74.5 per cent and total solids 66.57, 65.57, 64.87 and 63.5 per cent for treatment T₀, T₁, T₂ and T₃ respectively. It was also observed that as the blending of sweet corn milk increased, there was decreased in fat, protein, ash, total solids content of Shrikhand blended with sweet corn milk and increased in moisture and total sugar content.
