Objectives
Preparation of Paneer from cows milk using different coagulants Sensory analysis of different paneer products Testing the efficiency of coagulants Nutritive analysis of the chosen paneer product
Preparation of Paneer
Add citric acid source 5 ml (one teaspoon) with continuous stirring the milk, until the milk separates; the solid curds will separate from the watery whey
The cheese cloth containing coagulated curd is then wrapped on itself in order to squeeze out moisture from the curds
Conventional sources
Lemon
Vinegar
Curd
Potential sources
Orange
Tomato
Tamarind
Methods
Paneer preparation with all the different coagulants. Sensory analysis: By 60 volunteers
Product 1- Commercially available (Nilgiri) Product 2- Lemon juice Product 3- Curd Product 4- Vinegar
Results
450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0
Sensory analysis mean Time taken for preparation (in sec) Amount of Whey obtained (in ml)
Nutritive Analysis
1. Protein estimation by Lowrys method
Paneer Sample
Nutrient composition
Commercially available
Paneer (Nilgiri)
Conclusion
Tamarind was found to be a better and more potent source of coagulation of milk for paneer preparation
