3. Introduction
ï MOTHER DAIRY CALCUTTA, a Government of West Bengal project, was started under
Operation Flood II of National Dairy Development Board . It was set up initially to cater to
the demand of the Kolkata urban agglomeration spread over the Kolkata Metropolitan area.
ï Mother Dairy is also reaching out to the consumers of other Districts. The commissioning
of the Dairy started in July 1978 and the first Distribution vehicle loaded with milk sachets
rolled out of the Dairy in the morning of 8th December 1978. Initially, the management of
Mother Dairy was looked after by the National Dairy Development Board .
ï Mother Dairy safeguards the interest of the rural milk producers by encouraging co-
operative movement & marketing the surplus milk available from the villages, thus helping
the milk producers to realize their own potential for organized endeavour & the creation of
more rural wealth in the shape of 'Anand Pattern' as profounder by Dr. V.Kurian , The Milk
Man of INDIA.
ï In November 1996 , the management of Mother Dairy was taken over by West Bengal
Cooperative Milk Producersâ Federation.
4. Vision And Mission
Vision â âProvide quality food and beverages to consumers at
affordable prices while ensuring fair returns to the producers.â
Mission â âMother Dairyâs heritage is intrinsically linked to the
cooperative movement in India. With determination & pride
we will continue to serve our farmers, rural India & our
consumers. Our values reflect who we are & what we firmly
believe in.â

20. ïMilk is tested for adulterations and quality at the time of collection
ïThe temperature is judiciously maintained less than 4°C always
ïNo contamination by human hands takes place, since processes
are automated.
ïThe trucks that deliver milk have specified guidelines
ïTravel time between collection and distribution points is always
less than 36 hours to ensure milk freshness.
Quality Control
21. Why is Testing Necessary ?
ïMilk testing and quality control is an essential component of any
milk processing industry whether small, medium or large scale.
Milk being made up of 87% water is prone to adulteration by
unscrupulous middlemen and unfaithful farm workers.
ïMoreover, its high nutritive value makes it an ideal medium for
the rapid multiplication of bacteria, particularly under unhygienic
production and storage at ambient temperatures.
Product Testing in QA Lab
22. Some Tests Carried out in QA Labs
Organoleptic Evaluation
Check taste and flavor of milk.
COB Test
Conduct COB test by taking about 2 ml milk in a test tube, boil on the flame of a spirit lamp
formation of clots in the test tube indicates COB positive milk and is unacceptable.
Acidity Test
Taking 10 ml milk in 10 ml conical flask. Titrate against N/10 NaOH using phenolphthalein
indicator to check acidity. Acidity above .153% is not acceptable.
Rosalic Acid Test
To 5 ml 60% alcoholic Rosalic acid in a test tube add 2 ml of milk . Rose red color
development indicates neutralizer presence in milk and formation of flakes indicates disturbed
salt balance.
23. Some Tests Carried out in QA Labs
Alcohol Test
Alcohol test is done to know the quality of milk. To 2 ml milk in a test tube add 2 ml 68%
alcohol. The presence of flakes indicates alcohol positive and such milk is rejected. The
alcohol test determines the susceptibility of milk to coagulation due to developed
acidity, salt unbalance or high albumen content.
FAT & SNF
Fat & SNF can be determined using Gerberâs method or using a Milcoscan.
SNF can also be determined using lactometer reading and Fat value and putting the
formula CLR/4 +Fat x .2 + .29
Milkoscan is the latest technology machine for scanning of milk and uses infra red rays
to analyze the milk for
âą Fat
âą Protein
âą Lactose
âą SNF
24. ContinuedâŠ
Tests Carried out in QA Labs
Microbe Test
For testing the presence of microbe, plating method is done. In this process 1ml
of various sample (milk, yoghurt, ghol ,butter and paneer) is collected and its
dilution is prepared. Then it is plated according to the drop plate method. For
paneer 1gm paneer is grinded with sterile phosphate buffer and then its dilution
is prepared. Also for preparing dilutions of other samples sterile phosphate
buffer is used.
For plating two types of media is used :
âąViolet Red Bile media- it is used to observe the coliform growth in the sample
âąMilk agar media- it is used to determine the total plate count of the sample.
25. ContinuedâŠ
Tests Carried out in QA Labs
Paneer Test
Appearance -- Shall be clear and free from dirt, surface discoloration and insect's
contamination. It shall not have any free moisture.
Flavour -- It shall have pleasant odour and characteristic mild acid flavour
Texture â It shall have a closely-knit smooth texture and spongy body.
Moisture
2 gm. shredded paneer is weighed in a dish. Mix with 4 ml hot distilled water with glass
rod. Wash off the particles on glass rod using 1 ml water. Mix the contents thoroughly.
Heat the dish at 100 + 2⊠C for 4 hrs. Cool in desiccators. Observe the final weight.
Calculation :
Moisture % = 100 (W1 - W2)
(W1 â W)
W1 = dish + sample before drying
W2 = dish + sample after drying
W = Mass of empty dish

Tests Carried out in QA Labs
.
Lactometer Test
It is an instrument use to measure the SNF present in milk. In this process the lactometer is
dipped in milk n it shows the reading.
Calculation: SNF= (CLR/4) + .25f+ .44
CLR = Lactometer reading
f = % of fat
Lactometer Test

Milk Polypacks
42. Test Result And Discussion
Test Name Result And Discussion
COB TEST (Clot On Boli) Formation of clots in the sample indicates COB positive milk and is
unacceptable.
Generally milk from Midnapur district were sometimes COB
positive.
ACIDITY TEST Acidity above .153% is not acceptable
All milk samples have acidity below the given standard.
ROSALIC ACID TEST Rose red color development indicates neutralizer presence in milk
and formation of flakes indicates disturbed salt balance.
Peach color tends to deepen if caustic (neutralizer) is present
depending on the amount of caustic.
Generally all sample produce light peach color indicating the
presence of little amount of caustic in it, added to increase the self-
life
ALCOHOL TEST The presence of flakes indicates alcohol positive and such milk is
rejected. The alcohol test determines the susceptibility of milk to
coagulation due to developed acidity, salt unbalance or high
albumen content.
Majority of the samples tested were alcohol negative.
43. Test Result And Discussion
Test Name Result And Discussion
FAT & SNF TEST It is done either by Garber method or with the help of Milkoscan
Majority of the time the results were according to the standard, if it
was more or less than the standard then the batch were rejected.
MBRT TEST Milk with MBR time of less than 7 hours is unacceptable.
All the milk samples had MBR time of around 7 hours.
TEST FOR PRESENCE OF UREA Appearance of yellow color indicates the presence of urea making
the milk unacceptable.
Majority of the samples were Ammonia free.
PHOSPHATASE TEST Yellow color determines that pasteurization was not done properly.
Pasteurization results in inactivation of phosphatase enzyme.
All samples appeared colorless i.e. properly pasteurized.
MICROBE TEST Microbes were observed only on plates that were plated by Dahi
samples. Count of around 400 colonies (approx.) was accepted.
More than that were recorded and reported.
Generally all samples gave a colony count below the standard.
MOISTURE TEST FOR PANEER Differences of about 2gm were acceptable before and after drying.
e.g.: BNIL paneer weight around 16.7191 before drying and
14.7160 after drying. Therefore the diff is around 2gm
44. Test Result And Discussion
