The present study was conducted to observe the effect of various heat treatments on sensory characteristics and shelf-life of skimmed milk at the Department of Animal Products Technology, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam, during year 2012-2013. The skimmed milk was produced from buffalo milk through cream separator and then divided into four groups viz. A, B, C and D. The group A was kept as untreated (control) and B, C, D (treated at 60C for few s (thermization), 65C for 30 min (pasteurization), 110C for 10 min (sterilization), respectively. The parameters studied included; sensory attributes such as appearance/color, taste/flavor and body/texture scores and shelf-life at cold storage (6±2C) and at room temperature. Appearance/color of pasteurized and sterilized skimmed milk was not acceptable compared to thermizide and control skimmed milk. Sterilization process improved the taste/flavor and body/texture of skimmed milk. Shelflife of skimmed milk was remarkably (P<0.05) better with sterilization process at room temperature as well as at cold storage (6±2C).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
