Abstract:
Physico- chemical characteristics of dairy whitener brands available in Bengaluru market were investigated for determine the quality of powder. The five different brands (B1, B2, B3, B4 & B5) from three different outlets were purchased and obtained results in this investigation were compared to Indian standards for acceptability criteria. B1 sample showed significantly (P=0.05) high moisture content (3.20%), lower total solid content (96.80%) and lower sucrose content (17.60%). B2 sample had showed significantly (P=0.05) preeminent fat content (20.40%), total ash content (5.5%), acid insoluble ash content (0.05%) and acidity (1.20%) content. B4 dairy whitener had showed significantly (P=0.05) higher protein content (20.70%) and lactose content (39.80%). Scorched particles content in B5 and B3 dairy whiteners was showed superior (7.42 & 7.30 mg) as compared to other brands. Storage stability of B4 dairy whitener showed significantly exceptional stability in terms of solubility, free fat, moisture, total solids and titratable acidity as compared to other brands during 6 months of storage.
