Abstract:
The study was conducted with an objective to develop healthy flavored milk drink with incorporation of wheat grass juice in double tonned milk. Sugar (6 and 7%) and flavor (rose and vanilla) was selected on the bases of sensory evaluation. The experimental C₁ (without- autoclaved) and C₂ (with autoclaved) of flavored milk drink were developed with different combination of double toned milk and wheatgrass juice in the ratio of 6:1, 9:1, 12:1 and selected on the bases of sensory evaluation. The control product was prepared with the addition of sugar (6%) and rose flavour without wheatgrass juice. The different samples were evaluated for physic-chemical properties. The treatment C₂ with 12:1 milk and wheatgrass juice, 6% sugar and rose flavor was at par with the control in terms of organoleptic and physico-chemical attributes. It is concluded that wheat grass juice can be incorporated for development of healthy milk drink without compromising the palatability and quality of the product.
