Chakka was made from milk standardized to 4.5% fat and 8.5% SNF, 2% inoculum and later on adding 25% sugar. where T0 being the control sample with no Moringa leaf powder-Experimental product was evaluated for various physico-chemical (percent Ash, Acidity, Carbohydrate, Total Solids, Fat, Moisture, Protein) organoleptic (Colour and Appearance, consistency, overall acceptability) and microbiological parameters (yeast & mould and standard plate count) Four treatments combination were replicated five times in the study. Cost of production (Rs. Per kilogram of finished product) for experimental sample were T1 (132.4), T2 (142.3), T3 (152.2) and that for control was T0 (122.5).
