Studies on physico-chemical changes occurred during storage in Lassi prepared from cow milk blended with sapota pulp

Abstract

Present investigation was conducted to study the physico-chemical changes occurred in Lassi prepared from cow milk blended with sapota pulp during storage at refrigeration temperature (7±1°C). Fresh cow milk was standardized at 3.5 per cent fat and 8.5 per cent SNF then used for the investigation. Five treatments of sapota pulp blended lassi i. e . T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , T 4 and T 5 with different levels of sapota pulp (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 %) by weight of lassi added during preparation. The physico-chemical analysis was followed to observe the chemical changes occurred in lassi during storage and it was observed that moisture, fat and pH was decreased, while total solids, protein and acidity were increased.
