For Ages, India’s traditional milk products have brought joy into the life of the people of the Indian sub-continent. Time has come, and so has the technology, to spread this joy around the world.
To shape this dream into reality, four of India’s distinguished dairy professionals have co-authored this handbook. It is an effort that seeks to celebrate the revival of all things traditional, coupled with the emergence of India as a technology-driven society.
The compendium explores ways of modernizing the manufacture of Indian milk products, highlighting emerging market opportunities and investment prospects. It also aims to serve as a practical guide of recommended practices for the industry as well as scientific and educational institutions.
This handbook provides data on process modernization and product formulations. It deals with production planning and implementation, and incorporates process flow charts, list of equipment and engineering layout drawings.
This volume will be useful to all segments of the food and dairy industry including producers, entrepreneurs, consultants, plant and quality assurance managers, suppliers of inputs and services, planners, extension workers, R and D scientists, students and scholars.
