Abstract:

Khoa is a concentrated milk product. It is very rich in total solids and hence highly nutritious food in the diet of human beings. The digestibility coefficient and biological values of protein of khoa is 90% and 60% respectively. The product could be preserved for several days and also used as a base for different kinds of sweets like Pedha, Burfi, Gulabjamun, Kalakand, Halva, Kalajamun, Lalmohan, Kunda etc. The investigation was carried out to evaluate the sensory as well as chemical quality of Washim city, Karanja and Risod khoa samples. Variations in composition of khoa samples might be due to uncontrolled heating as well as rate of concentration of milk, highest level of sugar addition and quality of milk used for preparation of this product. Therefore, an attempt was made to evaluation of organoleptic & chemical quality of khoa sold in Washim district. For the qualitative preparation of Khoa, the comparison made between Washim city (T1), Karanja (T2) and Risod (T3) of Khoa samples. The highest score was found for organoleptic quality in treatment T1 samples as well as lowest in T3 khoa samples. The finished product was subjected to sensory evaluation by panel of judges on the basis of 100 point hedonic scale. The overall acceptability score for different treatment of khoa ranged from 90.31 (T1), 83.37 (T2), and 82.22 (T3). The washim city khoa sample contains moisture (27.20%), fat (27.70%), protein (18.89%), lactose (21.74%) and ash (3.91%) which lower than other treatments.
