Chemical Composition of Peda Prepared from Cow Milk Blended with Skimmed Milk Powder

Peda was prepared from cow milk blended with skimmed milk powder in the Dairy Technology laboratory, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science, Dr. PDKV, Akola. Peda prepared from five different combinations of cow milk and skimmed milk powder i.e. 100:00 (T₁), 40:60 (T₂), 50:50 (T₃), 60:40 (T₄) and 00: 100 (T₅) were analyzed for chemical composition and it was found that maximum fat and total solids content was recorded in Peda prepared from 100 per cent cow milk Khoa i.e. 15.76 and 80.94 per cent, respectively. While maximum protein, moisture and ash contents were recorded in Peda prepared from 100 per cent skimmed milk powder i.e. 26.45, 22.23 and 2.20 per cent, respectively.
