INTRODUCTION TO COMPANY
The Punjab State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Limited (MILKFED) came into
existence in the year 1973 to improve dairy farming in the province of Punjab. The
essential point was to give a worthwhile milk market to the state milk makers by esteem
expansion and showcasing of produce Another of its goal was to give specialized
contributions to the improvement of milk creation. In spite of the fact that the alliance was
enlisted very before, it came into its genuine structure in the year 1983 when the milk
plants of the previous Punjab Dairy Development Corporation Limited were allowed to the
Cooperative Sector under Operation Flood. The move was completed in the state to give
more ideal arrangement to the ranchers and better items to the clients MILKFED is set-up
as a three- level framework with Federation as the summit body at the State Level, Milk
Unions at the District Level and Cooperative Societies at the town level The association
has ceaselessly progressed towards its pined for destinations clear cut in its by-laws.
OBJECTIVES OF A COMPANY:
a. To guarantee quality milk acquirement at gainful cost combined with improved creature
usefulness for decreasing expense of milk creation for economic development of the milk
makers.
Milk Union Mohali enrolled during 1978 and began working on Anand Pattern from Sept.
1979 It buys new Milk double a day straightforwardly from Milk Producers by getting
sorted out Milk Makers' Co usable Societies (MPCS) at town level in whole Ropar and
Mohali Distt. furthermore, part of Fatehgarh Sahib and Patiala Districts. By and by. The
Ropar District Cooperative Milk Maker's Union Limited, Verka Mohali Dairy is a front-line
Milk Plant in Co-employable Sector having introduced taking care of limit of 5,00.000 liters
of Milk for every day 1210 utilitarian milk maker co-usable social orders shaped at town
level are providing about average of 3,62,000 liters of Milk each day This milk acquisition
goes to around 5,20,000 liters in a day during top flush season New milk is acquired
straightforwardly from milk makers through village level social orders double a day The
principal capacity of this plant is to give best nature of Pasteurized Liquid Milk to the
buyers in Chandigarh and its satellite cities. A part from Liquid Milk supply (Full Cream
Milk, Std. Milk, Toned Milk, Double Toned Milk &Skimmed Milk), this Plant likewise produce
Ghee, Pancer, Curd, Plain Lassi, Kheer. Spiced Lassi, Sweet Lassi, Raita. To safe
gatekeeper the interest of regarded buyers and our milk makers, assembling of Verka
desserts with unadulterated Desi Ghee and Khoa in plant grounds has been dispatched.
Every one of the items are produced under the brand name of VERKA Being a practical unit
with strong monetary wellbeing, this plant delivers profit to all part social orders out of its
procuring each year.

4. Checking the quality of reagents, packaging materials, glass wares for testing
Acidity test
► MBRTtest
► Adulteration test
ACIDITY TEST: Bacteria that normally develop in raw milk produce more or less of lactic acid in the
acidity test the acid is neutralized with Sodium hydroxide and the amount of alkaline is measured.
From this, the percentage of lactic acid can be calculated
Procedure:
► Take 10 ml of sample (can be milk, lassi, cream, Dahi etc) in 10 ml conical flask.
► Hold the flask against whitesurface
► Add 4-5 drops of phenolphthalein to the sample and stirgently
► Titrate against N/10 NaOHsolution
► Continue until the appearance of a 10-20 seconds and down the volume of NaOH used
Procedure:
1. It's the method of estimation of total bacterial count of milk.
2. To 10 ml of milk in a sterilized test tube a
dd 10 ml of methylene blue dye Plug with a sterilized cork, invert the tube to mix the contents.
3. Incubate at 37°C in a water bath. 3. Note down the time in which the colour of dye gets
disappear and that will give the MBRTtime
4. Note down the time in which the colour of dye gets disappear and that will give the MBRT time.
Procedure:
1. Take 10ml of Sulphuric acid (10% dilute for milk and 20% dilute for
lassi) inbutyrometer.
2. Add slowly 10.75 ml sample (can be lassi or milk) init.
3. Add 1 ml isoamyl alcohol and adjust level with distilledwater.
4. Cap butyrometer with lockstopper.
5. Centrifuge for about 5minutes.
6. Take reading of the % fat by reading thebutyrometer.
Observations:
First and Third sample is of packaged milk and second sample is of rawmilk.
ALCOHOL TEST:
The alcohol test is used on fresh milk to indicate whether it will coagulate on thermal
processing. This test is especially important for the manufacture of UHT milk, evaporated
milk and milk powders. This test is more sensitive than Clot-on Boiling (COB) test.
Procedure:
► Take 5.0 ml of milk in a test tube using graduatedpipette.
►Close the mouth of the test tube with thumb and mix the contents well by inverting
Result: Formation of any flakes on the wall of the test tube indicates positive test.
DETECTION OF GLUCOSE:
Take strip for glucose detection and dip it in milk. If blue color persists, it indicates
positive glucose
DETECTION OF SALT:
Procedure
1. Take 2ml of Silver Nitratesolution.
2. Add few drops of potassium chromate and 2ml milksample.
3. Yellow color indicates positive salttest.
DETECTION OF UREA :
Procedure:
1 Take 2ml urea detecting agent (DMAB-Dimethyl Amino Benzaldehyde reagent) andadd
2ml milk
2 Deep yellow color indicates positive ureatest
PHOSPHATASE TEST:
Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme which is naturally present in milk but is destroyed at a
temperature just near to the pasteurization temperature Alkaline Phosphatase test is used
to indicate whether milk has been adequately pasteurized or whether it has been
contaminated with raw milk after pasteurization.
The alkaline phosphatase enzyme in raw milk liberates phenol from a disodium para-nitro phenyl
phosphate and forms a yellow-colored complex at alkaline ph. The intensity of yellow colour
produced is proportional to the activity of the enzyme
Procedure:
1. Take Al tubes and fill it withsample
2. Then keep these in centrifuge so that cream layer is formed ontop.
3. Then take the cream with the help of spatula and heat cream so as to makeghee

2. ON the stirrer & wait till reading is stable, when ready is displayed.
3. Note down thereading.
STEPS:
1. Centrifuge the sample for 15min.
2. Separate the cream and heat it to makeghee.
3. Take 5g of ghee inflask

round bottomflask
10. Distillate is filtered andchilled
11. Titrate it against N/10 NaOH using phenolphthaleinindicator.
12. RM Value = (ml of NaOH used: 0.4) xl 1
In quality control lab sensory evaluation of milk and milk products is done, in which there
is testing of shelf life
A check is put over cleanliness of dairy equipment's and overall sanitization of plant.
The products produced in the plant are checked for their quality and shelf life before they
aresent to the market.
HARDNESS OFWATER:
This test is performed to check the hardness of water 1.e., whether the water used in
various production units s suitable to use or not.
STEPS:
1. Take 100ml water sample in aflask.
2. Add 1-2ml NHbuffer

FLOW CHART OF MANUFACTURING OF PASTEURIZED AND STANDARIZED MILK

PasteurizerLineCPL
PASTEURIZER
It is device used to pasteurize the milk, to remove pathogenic microorganisms from milk
i.e. heating at 63 degrees Celsius for 30 min or 70 degrees Celsius for 15 sec in approved
and properly operated equipment. At one end of the device the temperature is 75-80
degrees Celsius and at the other end it is 4-5 degree Celsius i.c., instant cooling of milk is
done after exposure to high temperature which kills almost all germs in milk.
Pasteurization is of two types-
HOMOGENIZER
Homogenization is a process where in fat globules are broken down to 2 microns or less
under high pressure.
It consists of high-pressure piston pump that forces the milk and thereby subdivided into
smaller particles of more uniform size.
CREAM SEPARATOR
It is a device which separates cream from the milk by means of a set of plates which
rotate around a central axis using centrifugal force
1. There are 135 plates in each creamseparator
2. Cream and skim milk areobtained.
3. After extraction cream is chilled to 4-6 degree Celsius through platechiller
STORAGE TANK: To store the milk in different states like raw, chilled, pasteurized and
standardized. They have capacity of 10000-20000 liters
MILK PACKAGING
1 10 machines of packing are used each of which has two packingsections.
1. Each machine has capacity to pack 1000 liters of milk per hour 1.c. 2000 pouches of
500ml per hour.
