AMUL SYSTEM WHY DID THE AMUL SYSTEM SUCCEED? In the old system of middlemen the guiding principles were: lowest possible price to the producer, highest possible price to consumer, and lowest possible quality of milk and product for sale. The middlemen pocketed the profits. Under the Amul system the reverse held well: highest possible price to the producers, lowest possible price for the consumer and highest possible quality of milk & products for sale. The profits were used for the milk producers' welfare. milk milk milk milk

The system was a two-tier one. The village society was concerned mainly with the purchase of milk from producers; it also acted as a channel for milk production enhancement schemes. The District Union looked after policy formulation, processing and marketing of milk and provision of technical inputs to enhance milk production in animals like artificial insemination service, veterinary care, better feeds, etc. The system is same now, except for a third tier: a Federation: an apex co-operative of district unions for marketing.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE MANAGING DIRECTOR GENERAL MANAGER ASST. GENERAL MANAGER MANAGER DY. MANAGER SUPERINTENDENT DY. SUPERINTENDENT SENIOR OFFICER ASSISTANT JR. ASSISTANT CERTIFICATION HACCP and ISO Amul has achieved HACCP and ISO22000-9001 certifications. These standards are basically implemented at each and every stage of processing from farm to home. The uses of these standards are as follows 1) The standards protect the consumers from the hazards of adulteration and help the industry to produce safe, hygienic and healthy products. 2) The standard in manufacturing promotes efficiency and quality assurance, minimizes wastage, increase production and profitability. 3) Standards ensure optimum utilization of scarce resources.

HACCP HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) systems are a systematic approach in preventing hazards that may harm a consumer, from occurring or developing during the course of food production. Role of HACCP HACCP was originally developed during NASA's Apollo programme in the early sixties. The objectives was to ensure that astronauts who spent extended periods in space would not be exposed to any food borne hazards especially microbiological, thereby jeopardizing their personal safety as well as the success of the space programme. HACCP implemented first time in food products on 1971. ISO Certifications The international organization for standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 140 countries, one from each country. ISO is non-governmental organization established in 1947. The mission of ISO is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. It also defines basic and fundamental terms relating to quality concepts applicable to production and services. "ISO" is a word, derived from the Greek word "ISOS", meaning, "equal". ISO organization is a company, firm, and institution, corporation that has its own functions and administration. Amul is India's most successful & first cooperative movement who has achieved ISO22000:2005 certification that is highly recognized achievement for any unit in term of quality assurance & food safety. Amul has introduced a changed management process where field staffs are encouraged to become consultants rather than supervisors, facilitators rather than decision-makers, trainers rather than doers.Because of this research and developing units of Amul that has made it comply all the regulations of the ISO certifications. INTRODUCTION TO ISO22000:2005 As ISO 22000:2005, food safety management system- Requirement for any organization in the food chain is an industry standard which, for the first time: 1. 2. 3. Is internationally formulated & will be internationally recognized; Is application for all organization through & and across the food supply chain; Embodies and maintains the codex Alimentarius HACCP principle;

CONCEPT OF AUTOMATION
Automation means that all action required operating a process with optimal efficiency are ordered by a control system on the basis of instructions that have been fed into it in the form of a control programmed. Programmable logic control (PLC) The PLC which controls the automated operation of plant areas, with sequence control and process regulation programmes written and stored in the PLC's. The PLC's operate only as actuators of programme sequences. Initiation and co-ordination of operations are managed either at operator level or by upper levels of the central management system. Principles of automation Automation refers to actions which are carried out automatically rather than by human agent. Automation implies some decision making as well as the per formation of physical tasks.

Automated control may be divided into two categories 1. Sequence or logic control 2. Process regulation Automated control may be limited to Sequence control of a simple operation such as filling of silo or regulation of a continuous process such as pasteurization, where operating parameters must be monitored and adjusted continuously. In Process Regulation the objective of controller is to regulate a characteristic of a system which is subject to disturbances. The controller counteracts the disturbances to keep the characteristic close to constant. The controller has a set point for a parameter under its control which is the required value for proper operation of the plant. It's aim is to keep conditions close to this set point by manipulating other process variables. Sequence control is only concerned with whether equipment is activated or not. Digital computer equipment lends itself very well to this type of control. Sequence control by a PLC system involves the activating and de-activating valves, pumps and other equipments according to a pre-determined sequence. This sequence is written in a code or language, which the computer can read and use. The use of computer system to control a CIP sequence is a good example of the application of sequence control rather than process regulation. Modern systems are capable to perform both sequence control and process regulation. In this way they can control all aspects of manufacturing process, including cleaning and sanitation. Controllers Controllers are microprocessors which receive inputs or messages from sensors on the plant and sends outputs or instructions to actuators which activate the plant. Computer based controller must deal with two types of inputs/outputs (I/O's), analog and digital. Analog signals may continuously vary for example temperature or pressure. Digital signals are only of the "on or off" type. The difference between the two is that digital signals can only take one of two possible values. Analog signals can take any value within a continuous range. A microprocessor is programmable which means that the rules which govern what it does at any particular time are defined in a set of instructions written for the particular application. The instructions are read in sequence by the microprocessor as digital signals. The order of steps written in the programme is important. The way the PLC operates is to scan the programme repeatedly, starting at the top, reading each step in turn, until it reaches the bottom and then starting at the top again. As it comes to each step of the programme the PLC compares the actual situation to the instruction to decide whether any action is necessary. All possible data is read by the controller before it starts each scan of the programme and the values of this inputs is used to evaluate each step during the scan. A change in an input variable would not be detected until the next scan begins. The time taken to scan a complete programme depend on the size of the programme but is usually a small fraction of a second. Once a scan is completed any actions arising out of the evaluation of the situation at each step are done before the next scan commences. The speed of modern systems means that they can be used to control even the most critical processes.

Sensors To ensure good performance from automated control systems it is essential to have accurate measurement of process conditions. Sensors have developed to a sophisticated level and may be constructed in a hygienic manner for food processing plant applications. Examples of sensors which may be used on the process and service equipments of a dairy industry include: Pressure sensor Photo cell Temperature sensor (thermocouples, thermostats) Flow rate sensor Conductivity sensor Proximity sensor (infra red magnetic flux etc.) Level sensor (pressure actuated) pH probe Viscosity sensor Moisture sensor Density sensor (with flow sensor can measure mass) Infra red radiation sensor (flame detection). Signals transmitted from sensors may be converted to digital signals before entering the controller. They may also be conditioned that is transformed into another form of signal or filtered to eliminate extraneous interference with the signal called "noise".

Actuators On the basis of input signals received from sensors, the controller may decide to adjust the process operating conditions in order to compensate for a disturbance or alternatively to activate a process element to move on to the next stage of an operating sequence.The output signals from the controller activate an actuator on the control element of process equipment to bring about the required change to the operating conditions. The actuator is the converter of the control signal into action on the control element. Pid control In process regulation the task of the controller is to adjust the process so that a controller variable remains close to a pre-defined set point. Adjusting manipulated variable in response to disturbance in the system does this. To do this effectively the controller must be tuned. In other words, it must be able to manipulate variable which will affect the variables to be controlled. A number of types of control action are available:On off Control: It is a simple type of control which may be used in Electrical systems e.g. an electric water heater. When the temperature reaches a certain level the electricity is switched off and temperature will start to fall. At the lower temperature the electricity is turned on again to once more heat the water. This type of control creates oscillation in the controlled variable and has limited use for manufacturing processes.

Proportional Control: It responds to the current value of the error (the difference between the actual and set point). A large error will result in a large correction being made and as the error reduces the correction applied will reduce. The correction is proportional to error. Because there must be an error to cause a correction, proportional control alone can never return the controlled variable to the set point value when a disturbance occurs. The difference between the new actual value and the set point is called the offset. Derivative Control: It acts on a rate of change of the error. It anticipates that the error may worsen. It does not assume that the error is constant. If the difference between the actual and the set point values is increasing rapidly, the correction due to derivative control will be strong. As the rate at which values are moving apart is reduced the derivative correction will diminish thus smoothing out response to the control action. If the difference between the actual and the set point values is constant there will be derivative correction and it can not be used to correct offset. Integral Control: It acts on the cumulative error over time. The longer an error has existed, the stronger will be the corrective action due to integral control. Thus, if there is an offset between the actual and set point values, the integral control will exert a stronger correction according to the time which the error persists. This will correct the offset. The best controller will use a combination of these control techniques to bring about a smooth and rapid correction of any deviation of the controlled variables. User interfaces Modern process control systems usually allow the operator to interact with the process through a computer system. The computer display will usually consist of a number of "screens" which may mimic the process, display process conditions, display alarms, log process variables, show trends and any other information useful to the operator. Some of the screens may be animated to give a better simulation of the process operation. The operator may use a computer keyboard or more usually a specially protected key pad which is simplified too suit the particular task without having the full range of keyboard functions. A printer may also be provided to allow the production of reports, print outs of alarm conditions and a log of the process operation. .

AMUL-2 RAW MILK RECEPTION DOCK AND PROCESS SECTION

The RMRD at AMUL-2 receives cow milk and buffalo milk in separate cans. The milk
is received in the morning and evening shift from different societies. The milk is collected from 1092+5 societies on 93 routs by trucks and is brought to the dairy. The total milk reception in first shift is around 170000 liters and in second shift is around 150000. This milk is than standardized to prepared standardized milk or is homogenized (in Amul-3 Process section) which is sent to Bombay, Calcutta etc and cow milk is collected separately for the preparation of cow milk. The surplus milk is sent to AMUL-3, where it is standardized to make different milk products. Total milk collection: 3.2 - 3.5 lakhs Flush season: 1.91 lakhs (per shift) Lean season: less than 1.51 lakhs Milk collection from different chilling centers S.NO. NAME OF CENTER 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Milk reception
For reception of milk there are two reception lines. When the cans come, they are manually put on the conveyor. Firstly, when the milk cans is put on the conveyor is tested by the person. The person checks the milk by putting plunger inside it and also smells the milk to segregate the sour milk and curdled milk. Milk is then dumped in the weighing tank and is weighed and sample is drawn for Fat & SNF testing. Then the weighing tank valve opens automatically and the milk is collected in the collecting tank and cans move to can washer. On each line there is a can washer and each can washer has a capacity of 12-15 cans/minutes (presently)

Pouch packing section deals with packing of milk into pouches. There are three packing machine. Each machines consists of two identical heads for packing, each head draws heat sealable polyethyelene sheet from a separate roll and is fed with milk to be packed from the overhead tank by gravity. The material moved continuously in a strip, the film is folded longitudinally. Firstly vertical sealing occurs, as continuous cylinder moves downwards transverse heat seals are made by jaws which have the effect of closing the bottom of pouch, so that measured volume of milk is filled into the space above a seal.

Standing on them with 1 foot, throwing them against a wall or tossing them high in the air to drop on the ground etc. That may be impressive but is hardly a proper a testing method. 2. The correct method of testing horizontally seals is to grip the pouch in its centre with both hands, then squeeze slowly until the film begins to stertche. If the pouch can be ballooned in this way the seals are ground.

Raw milk silo (RMS) - All unloaded milk is finally stored into the Raw Milk Silos.

Process
Milk from various villages is collected in chilling centers and from there the milk is out to the dairy in tankers by road or by railways routes. After that the sample is tested/analyzed in the reception lab, by milko-scan the corresponding fat, SNF (solid not fat), protein, lactose readings are recorded and the most important factors. On the basis of acidity and temperature milk is unloaded or rejected is also performed in the reception lab. The tanker with acidity less than 0.15of Lactic acid and temperature less than 10 are unloaded and rests are rejected. This unloading is done in a milk buffer tank with storage capacity 15,000 liters. The processing of milk starts now. The milk is chilled to 4oC and then is sent for clarification. Clarification This is very important process in which the dust, dirt or any kind of milk impurity is removed in a clarifier. From the clarifier the milk is sent to raw milk silo and stored temporarily. Clarifier has centrifugal force 2000 rpm. Therefore the milk is unloaded and is sent for pasteurization. Pasteurization is a process whereby the germs pathogens are killed. In this process the milk from raw milk silo is heated up to 783oC for 16 seconds and then is cooled to 4oC. Simultaneously after heating milk is separated in a separator to milk and cream. Milk contains 5-6 % fat and cream contains 40 % fat. The surplus cream is sent to cream buffer. This is standardization. It is done in ALFAST UNIT i.e. Alfa Laval Fat Analyzing Standardization Unit. The separated milk is used for manufacturing powder i.e. WMP, ASP (Amulspray-Infant food), Amulya (Dairy whitener), and sent in the market for sale (in purchase). The separated cream is further pasteurized to make it human consumption capable. The process includes heating of cream at 90oC and then cooling to 8oC. After that it is stored in cream buffer tank with capacity 2 lakh. From this cream buffer tank the cream is used in manufacturing butter.

The various sections under the process control are:A. Reception B. Milk Standardizing and Processing C. Cream processing D. Dispatch

Control room
For the successful operation of these activities a control room is provided. The operators at the control room continuously monitor all the process activities. All the operation in the Dairy is PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controlled. A set of logical programmes through a programmer on PC is prepared and stored in the memory (RAM) of the CPU of the PLC. This is possible because of microprocessor based technology. Whenever the operator performs the operation, these programmes are recalled and executes according to the programme prepared and signals for activating/ deactivating of solenoid valve, thereby opening and closing of pneumatic valves and start and stop of pumps are affected. There is one PLC in the control room. All valves, transmitters, PLC etc. run on 24V DC supply which is converted from 220V AC supply by transformer in each unit of PLC. Incase of power breakdown the PLC continues to get power supply of 24V DC through dedicated UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) system.

Management Information System (MIS)

For proper monitoring and management control MIS is a very effective tool. The control room also has information system for updation of production data of milk, cream, raw milk intake, center wise milk reception and dispatch record, inventories, CIP programming and its timing, trend charts, consumption of steam, electricity, air water etc. in which data are transferred from the PLCs. Along with this various log sheets are also maintained by the operator of all of the above listed production data.

Reception lab
All the incoming milk is tested for its acceptance and rejection at the reception lab. Following facilities are provided at reception lab for testing milk: Milko scan for the estimation of Fat % and SNF %. pH meter and temperature recorder. Water bath Refrigerator Gerber centrifuge Oven

 Computers and printer

Operation
As the tanker arrives at the Reception bay, Sample of the milk is taken by lab analyst after plunging. The temperature is recorded as the sample is taken. Then the milk is tested for its quality by reception lab analyst. Firstly organoleptic test is done. If the temperature of milk is below 10oC and it's acidity is less than 0.136 % of L.A. and the fat and SNF percent matches with delivery channel sent by the center which is automatically updated by the computer as the analyst measures these parameters on the instruments whose terminals are connected to the main computer, the computer "Accepts" the milk. The lab analyst enters the password in the computer and gives signal "READY" for unloading of tanker at bay. RAM is selected by shift in-charge from Control Room. After connecting the hose pipe and checking that the manhole of tanker is slightly open. Signal is accepted by reception in-charge from local panel and unloading of milk from tanker starts. The milk unloaded at the bay is pumped through a de-aerator, centrifugal pump, NRV, vortex generator, density meter and flow transmitter (which is then converted into kilogram by PCMM display unit), then through duplex filter and to chiller where the temperature is reduced below 4oC, then finally stored into the RMS.

Note - As there are three bays (RL1, RL2 and RL3) for unloading milk tankers all four can be
used at a time i.e. milk is unloaded at the rate of 3 x 30,000 LPH in any of the four RMS. However, combination of other bays can not be used to unload milk in the same RMS. It is having following sections:Raw cream chiller - Some quantity of the raw milk coming from the RMS is utilized for the chilling of the raw cream which is separated from the separator. Regeneration II - Here the heat of out going milk is utilized to heat incoming milk. Regeneration I - Here the standardized milk is further heated before going to heating section by the milk coming from the holding tube. Heating section - Here the milk from regeneration II is heated to pasteurization temperature by the hot water. Holding tube - Pasteurized milk is hold in the holding tube which is 42 m long with 72 mm diameter. Water heating section - Here steam is used to heat the water which is further used to the heat the milk in heating section.

Preventive maintenance of valves

A faulty seal normally starts leaking slowly. It's therefore often possible to continue production until the end of the day before repairing the valve. Valves in plants are not all used to the same extent and not under the same conditions. Consequently, the exact life of the seals etc. can not be stated.

Regular inspection of valves for Product leakage

General Creation Instructions

The spray drier comprises mainly of 3 units. 1. Primary fan and air heating system 2. Concentrated feed system 3. Drying system

1. Primary fan and air heating system

a). This primary air system involves the use of primary fans which are being run by 125 HP motors directly coupled to the fan shaft. Since the fan is rotating at 2900 rpm, care should be taken in the centering and alignment of fan and motor shafts. b). The heating system involves the following. i). Air heater chamber and heating elements ii). Flame exhaust and recirculation fans iii). Hot air valves iv). Hot air ducting

2. Concentrate Feed System

a. The system involves the following Feed pump with motor The Rotary pump, which is a positive displacement single screw pump directly, coupled to D.C. motors. This D.C. motor is a variable speed motor with 0 to 1500 rpm controlled directly from the panel by adjusting the knob of diameter stat of three-phase silicon rectifier control panel. The pump can run in either direction with equal efficiency, which is maintained over a wide range of speed and pressure. Since the motor is a unidirectional, care should be taken for deciding outlet and inlet connection of pump. Concentrate pre-heater This is a tubular pre-heater with shell and tube design. Steam is the heating medium. This is a double barrel type with two barrels. S.S. feed line and sprays nozzles The inter connections of pre-heater, balance tank and pump is made by S.S. tubes of 38 mm diameter, whereas the nozzles are connected with 28mm tubes.

Drying system
a. This covers the following items. Drying Chamber

The most important of all points, which should be taken care of during fabrication and installation, is the concentricity of top and bottom openings. All openings viz. chamber door, top platform, and blow back duct connections flexible connections between power and cyclone etc. should be airtight. The surface of drying chamber should be smooth and without any dents etc. which would be otherwise obstruct electric vibrations fitted on the drying chamber should have minimum amplitudes of vibrations. The star valve fitted at the bottom of drying chamber helps I regular discharge of powder to the conveying system, which ensures a proper and uniform cooling of the powder. The rotor running should not scratch the body; this should be ensured after each run when the rotor is reassembled after cleaning. b. Cyclone separators and Powder return system: Cyclone separators are the most critical part of the spray drier. To have minimum losses separator leveling and concinnity of basket is most important. The fine powders separated by cyclone are discharged into a screw conveyer. A special fan is attached to each nozzle for supplying the air which passes through the steam heater and gets hot. The steam heater is connected with steam and condensate is drained off through steam trap cum strainer. The flexible connection between the screw conveyer and the nozzle should not be air tight and that small quantity of air should be allowed to be sucked in through the opening. Powder conveying system: This involves the use of cooling filter, conveying duct and conveying cycle and exhaust fan. Cooling filter supported on three legs has a woolen filter cloth trapped between two wire mesh, which are clamped to the filter frame with quick release clamps. The filtered air, sucked through the filter carries the powder discharged by the star valve to cyclone separators through S.S. ducting. The S.S. ducting has male-female type points, which are machined for easy fittings. The powder is bagged off at the bottom of cyclone where a rotary valve is fitted. Separator leveling and concentricity of basket should be properly done.

c.

Cleaning Of Plant
Chamber is opened and is manually scrapped and cleaned when felt necessary.

Note 1). The powder manufactured is filled directly into the bags at collecting cyclone/bagging cyclone. CWP is packed into 25 kg bags. 2). The outlet temperature of air is maintained and regulated by feed rate of condensed milk, which is controlled by speed variable pump. When we increase feed, then decrease outlet temperature and vice versa.

This whole process is divided into following sections:1. Evaporator 2. Concentration tanks 3. Packing 1) Evaporator

Milk from milk silos first comes to this section. Here mechanical arrangement is made such that milk inside tube comes in contact with hot steam which heats the milk and some of its water part about 35%, is evaporated during this section and we get 48% total solid (TS) in milk. Evaporator has following components:1. Balance tank 2. Six pre-heat3. Flash vessel 4. Holding tube 5. Calendria 6. Vapour separator 7. Vacuum system 8. Thermo compressor A) Balance tank: Milk from silo comes to it, the level and flow is controlled in the balance tank. B) Pre-heater: From balance tank milk goes to pre-heater. Here milk is heated step by step in different pre-heaters. It is heated up to 55oC. C) Flash vessel: It has two components D) Regeneration: Here milk is heated up to 95C. E) Cooling: Here milk heated during regeneration process is cooled. F) Holding tubes: Here, milk is heated up to 95oC to kill bacteria in standard milk. I. Calandria: It is shell and tube type heat exchanger. Inside the shells, milk is dropped while steam comes in contacts with shell and milk is heated. II. Vapour separator: Vapour which is produced in calendria is separated here and condensed milk is added in transfer pump. III. Vacuum systems: There are two stages to get vacuum. A. Barometric condenser B. Vacuum pumps IV. Thermo compressor: Steam is added in calendria shell side by thermo compressor to get required set point density.

2) Concentrate tanks

L&T packing machine

Powder comes in auger from the hopper through the vibrating tube. On the top of the auger one high level sensor is located which sense quality of powder. Then powder enters or stopped accordingly in auger. Nitrogen pipe also fitted in auger. Powder flows down by the steel tubes where pouch film folds in round closed shape that moves between tube and rubber belt. Here both edges of film heat sealed but only inner side due to inner part is laminated of the film. Where tube keeps spiral ring inner side which is maintained in specific angle according to quality of pouch for export. For 1/2 kg dosage angle is 114, where as for 1 kg it is 160. When pouch moves downward, there is one set of jaw (called front jaw and rear jaw) and heat seal at the bottom of the pouch besides jaw keeps one knife which cuts the pouch in the bottom when this process continue, then automatically pack of pouches make. The pouches falls in the conveyer belt and the pouches reaches for continuous weighting which is pre set, and there is one sensor located which senses the weight. If the weight is below to the pre set weight, then pouch pushes out side and except it other pouches move to case packer through the conveyer belt. There are three sensors in the pouch film side. One is for sensing availability of film (if film is unavailable, machine will be stopped). Second sensor senses black rectangle of the film by which coding is possible (date, price etc.). Third sensor also senses the black rectangle, but it works for cutting the pouches. Another sensor is located in the machine which sense the door situation (if door will be open, then machine will be stopped).

QUALITY CONTROL LAB (AMUL 3) All products manufactured by dairy must comply with the legal standard and should be acceptable by the consumers. To ensure this a quality control laboratory has been constituted. The product must be safe for the consumers and follow BIS and PFA standard. Also GCMMF has let down its own requirements for all the products. In laboratory all the raw material, ingredients, products in progress, finished products as well as packaging materials are tested for their physical as well as chemical characteristics. In addition, the finished products and ingredients are checked for their microbiological quality to maintain hygienic condition in the production area. To ensure all the appropriate processing and processing parameters are followed, quality assurance personnel take a round in dairy plant and rectify any anomalies. Lab technician collects product sample in the sample containers from each section mostly for various products. The sample is analyzed for various tests and result obtained is communicated to respective laboratory for reference. Sample meeting the desired standard of a particular batch that is passed for further packaging. Packaging material is also tested for required strength and leakage and graded accordingly. The products are graded according to PFA. Various tests conducted for different products are as follows A) For Raw Milk - Amul dairy receives raw milk from village chilling units and other chilling centers, such as Kapadvanj, Khambat, Balasinor and Khatraj. Milk when received from different chilling units & societies is measured & sample is drawn for quality testing. The temp. Of milk should not exceed 8-10OC. A small bottle of milk is also given by the centers along with the Chelan data to compare the result of fat, SNF, acidity. This helps in determine whether adulteration has takes place or not during transportation. Following test are performed for raw milk; 1). Titratable acidity 2). Clot on boiling 3). Alcohol test 4) Methylene Blue Reduction Test 5) Fat test 6). Determination of phosphatase activity 1) Determination of Titrable Acidity Procedure - Thoroughly mix the milk sample & pipette out 10ml of milk in 100 ml beaker & add equal amount of water, & 1 ml phenolphthalein indicator. Rapidly titrate against N/9 Sodium hydroxide till pink colour comes which remains for 10-15 sec. NOTE- Acidity of raw milk should be between 0.12-0.14 % LA. 2) Clot on boiling - This is quick test to determine developed acidity & suitability of for processing. milk

Procedure - Transfer 5 ml of milk sample to the test tube & place it in boiling water bath for 5 min. Remove the tube & note it in an almost horizontal position & pour the content in a clean petri dish & examine for any precipitated particles. Result - The formation of clot is indicative of positive test. 3) Alcohol test Principle - The alcohol test is used for rapid assessment of stability of milk to processing particularly for condensing & sterilization. The test aids in detecting abnormal milk such as colostrums milk, mastatic milk, & milk in which the mineral balance has been altered. Procedure - Place 5 ml of milk in a test tube & add equal amount of ethyl alcohol (68% w/v). Mix the contents of the test tube inverting several times. Not any flakes or clot. Result - The presence of clot or flakes denotes positive test. 4) Methylene Blue Reduction Test (MBRT) Principle - This test is based on the oxidation-reduction potential. The speed of the reduction of the stain is an indication of rate of taking place. Procedure - Take 10 ml milk in test tube & add 1 ml of methylene blue solution & cork it. Incubate at 37 OC in water bath & observe the milk, colour at every half an hour till the blue colour of the dye in the milk decolourises. Note the time. Result - Standard MBR time min. is 5 hours. 5) Fat test - The Fat content of raw milk is estimated with the help of an instrument known as milkoscan, which also gives the estimation of protein, lactose, SNF. The milkoscan is standardized in morning in term of fat & SNF content present in the milk sample, which has been gravimetrically tested for fat & TS. Procedure - The fat is tested by Gerber method. In this method, 10.75 ml of milk is taken in butyrometer & add 10 ml of Gerber sulphuric acid then add 1 ml of amyl alcohol & shake the content properly. Than centrifuge for 5 mins & note down the reading. Testing of adulterants of raw milk 1). Urea Detection 2). Ammonia Fertilizer detection 3). Nitrate Fertilizer / pond water test 4). Starch & Cereal flour detection test 5). Sugar / Sucrose detection 6). Glucose detection 7). Salt detection 8). Neutralizer detection 9). Hydrogen peroxide test 10). Formalin detection 11). Test of ammonia compound 12). Test of ammonia sulphate B) For Table Butter 1) Moisture content 2) Salt content 3) Curd (SNF) content

1) Moisture content Procedure Weight a clean & dried flat bottomed dish, which is preweighed. Transfer of 10 ml sample into the dish & note the weight. Heat butter on a hot plate, rotate the dish while heating so as to aid the moisture to escape. Heat till light to dark brown colour appears, this will indicate that all the moisture is driven off. Cool the dish & contents to the room temp. & weighed the cool dish immediately. The percent of moisture is calculated from the loss in weight. Calculation - wt. of moisture / wt. of butter 100. Where, wt. of moisture = (wt. of dish + butter) (wt. of cool dish) Wt. of butter = (wt. of dish + butter) (wt. of empty dish) 2) Salt content Procedure Firstly perform the moisture test. Add 100 ml of distilled water to the dish with residue. Shake the contents thoroughly, so as to distribute the salt evenly through out the solution. Pour the solution into a separating funnel. Remove the brine solution, pipette out 10 ml of brine solution. Add 4-5 drops of 5% potassium chromate solution, a lemon yellow colour is imparted. Titrate with N/10 silver nitrate solution. The end point is indicated by the appearance of brown colour. Calculation Salt % = ml of N/10 silver nitrate 0.0585 100 /wt. of butter. 3) SNF (Curd) content Procedure Firstly perform the moisture test. Add 10-20 ml of petroleum ether to the residue.

 Slowly heats until the sediment get dried. Cool & weight. Add 100 ml of water at 60 OC to the sediment & run the salt test. Calculation Curd % = wt. of residue / wt. of butter 100 Where, wt. of residue = wt. of sediment dish wt. of empty dish This gives total of curd & salt percentage. Subtracts salt % from the total %, this gives the curd %. Result Table butter content = 0.8- 0.9 % White butter content = 1.1- 1.3 %

C) For Ghee 1). Organoleptic grading test 2). Moisture test 3). Free fatty acid test 1). Organoleptic grading test - In this, ghee is taken & smell for any off flavour, uniformity of colour etc. Good quality ghee must be free from any off flavours & must contents pleasant nutty flavour & granular size. 2). Moisture test Procedure Weight a clean & dried flat bottomed dish, which is preweighed. Transfer of 10 ml sample into the dish & note the weight. Heat the ghee in hot plate until appearance of dark brown colour & cool. Wt. the cooled dish immediately. Calculation Moisture % = wt. of moisture / wt. of ghee 100 where, wt. of moisture = wt. of moisture = (wt. of dish + ghee) (wt. of cool dish) 3). Free fatty acid Reagent - Nutrized spirit Take 100 ml spirit & add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator, then titrate it with N/10 NaOH till light pink colour appears. Procedure Take 9.4 ml of ghee in conical flask.

 Add 50 ml neutralize spirit & put a cotton plug. Place it on the hot plate till boiling. Cool it at room temp. Titrate with 0.1N NaOH solution using phenolphthalein as a indicator. Light pink colour appears. Calculation Free fatty acid % =Titrate value 0.3 D) For Flavoured milk 1) pH reading 2) Acidity 3) TS 4) Alcohol test 5) Creaming Index 1). 2). pH reading - measured by pH meter, it should be between 7-7.2. Acidity Procedure Take 10 ml of flavoured milk in 100 ml beaker. Add few drops of phenolphthalein indicator. Titrate with N/9 NaOH solution, till light pink colour appears.

3). Total solids Procedure Weight a clean & dried flat bottomed dish, which is preweighed. Transfer of 2 ml sample into the dish & note the weight. Heat till all moisture evaporates. Cool the dish to bring down the temp. at room temp. Again wt.. the dish. Difference the wt. gives the % of TS 4) Alcohol test

Procedure - Place 10 ml of milk in a test tube & add equal amount of ethyle alcohol (70 % w/v). Mix the contents of the test tube inverting several times. Not any flakes or clot. Result - The presence of clot or flakes denotes positive test. 5) Creaming Index - It is one of the most important test by this, we can come to know the % of cream present in the sample. The creaming index should be less than 10. Procedure Take the milk & heat upto 21 C, then transfer 50 ml of milk in two separate in round bottom tube. Centrifuge 1100 rpm for 15 mins. The fat cream layer & non fat portion separate out. Take out the fat- cream layer portion from both tube & assign it as (A). Mix the non fat portion or the portion containing less fat assign it as (B). Now both test tube portion A & B for fat content & note down the reading. Calculation % creaming index = A-B / B 100 E) For Milk Powder 1) Moisture 2) Reconstitution test 3) Sieve test 4) Coffee test 5) Insolubility index 6) Fat test 7) Wettability test 8) Bulk Density 9) pH 10) Titrable acidity 11) Grade test 12) Leakage test 13) Nitrogen content test

Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)

Introduction - For any industry ETP is very important as water of industry is recycle & then is used as the industry is having effluent treatment plant is so called environmental friendly industry. If effluent is not treated then will pollute the environment. As in this unit waste water of the whole units accumulated & is tried to be converted to the normal water, which can be safely use for irrigation purpose. As now-a-days the environmental load is very active & that check every month for the control of the pollution & if the industry effluent plant is found not proper grade than the board has full right to shut off the plant.

Method of treatment
Raw effluent - It is effluent of all production section including wash water. Channel - It is small settlement tank which settles heavy materials. Gate valve - To pass or obstruct effluent to the next channel. Equalization tank - the effluent is collected in equalization tank through screens filter & oil trap. Air blowers are provided to maintain its uniformity. Normalization tank - If pH is less than 6 then 10 % solution of lime is added to maintain the pH 7-8. Fat separation tank - To separate the fat of effluent which come on top due to density differences. Aeration tank - Treatment to wash water is done at aeration tank. Oxygen to washes water is supplied by surface aerators. Clarifier - Effluent from aeration tank after treatment flows by gravity to clarifier where the sludge settles at the bottom end treated effluent over flows into the next clarifiers. It is tested one for pH, BOD, oil content & COD. The settle sludge is pumped brake to aeration tank. Excess sludge is pump to drying bed. Drying bed - The excess sludge gets dried by filtration & evaporation in drying beds. The filtered effluent goes by gravity to equalization tank.

CHEESE PLANT, KHATRAJ

Introduction Kheda Satellite Dairy Khatraj, inaugurated in 1996, by Prof. Madhu Dandvate, Deputy Chairman- Planning Commission. Product manufacturing in KSD 1. Cheddar cheese (Raw cheese for Process cheese) 2. Process cheese 3. Emmental cheese Uniqueness of KSD KSD is the largest cheese plant of Asia. In KSD, 50 % of Buffalo milk is utilized for manufacturing of cheese.

RMRD (Raw Milk Receiving Dock) Milk Reception Milk is collected at village societies (mandalis) and from there transported by trucks to the Dairy Plant in cans. In all 168-village societies supplies milk to Kheda Satellite Dairy (KSD). 19 routes are identified; mandalis on the same route bring milk in the same truck. Each route is given a specific time for the delivery of milk at the Dairy. Each reception line is provided with a chain conveyer and a can washer. Cans are manually loaded on the conveyers from the trucks. The can lids are opened and the inside contents (milk) is agitated. The milk inside the cans is observed for any curd formation, and examined for other organoleptic tests. The name of the society from which milk is received is painted on the cans. The cans are conveyed to the tipping point where they are inverted manually and milk is taken in the weighing tank. A filter cloth is applied to the inlet duct of the weigh tank to remove any suspended foreign matter from the milk. Milk from each society is weighted separately, for which cans from each society are emptied in weigh tank, the reading of the weight is recorded in the computer by the operator.

Then the operator opens the pneumatic valve beneath the weight tank is opened and the milk is dispensed to the dump tank by gravity. Two valves are there on the base of weighing tank, one opening in the buffalo milk dump tank and another in cow milk dump tank, which are opened according to the milk tipped in the tank (whether cow or buffalo). Sampling of the raw milk is done from the weighing tank, which is taken to the laboratory for further analysis. Different routes are identified for milk collection. The milk cans from societies lying on the same route are brought in the same truck. Trucks are loaded with the can in a specific sequence and unloaded on the Raw Milk Receiving Dock in synchronization with the sequence of list of societies in the computer. The cans and the lid are placed (in inverted position) on the conveyer, which carries it through the straight through can washer. A drip saver is placed beneath the conveyer leading to can washer, to recover the residual milk dripping down the inverted cans. After passing of milk to the dump tank the operator tares the digital weight indicator. Now the can from another society are emptied in the weight tank and so on. Based on the weight of the milk received, each society is given the receipt of receiving milk. There are in all three-dump tanks, two for buffalo milk and one for cow milk. For identification of cow milk and buffalo milk, the necks of cow milk cans are painted with red or green strips. The capacity of weight tank is 500 Kg and dump tank is: Buffalo milk dump tank = 5000 liters (2 no.s ) Cow milk dump tank = 5000 liters (1 no.s) From dump tank milk is pumped to the chiller (in processing section) via filter filters. Two separate duplex filters are installed for cow and buffalo milk. Filtration is carried in order to remove any foreign particles suspended in raw milk.

Tanker Bay Besides receiving milk in cans, milk is also received in tankers (skim milk for standardization). Skim milk is received in tankers which are utilized in standardization of cheese milk. Tankers are filled and emptied at a site called "Tanker Bay." It has a plane horizontal cemented surface where the tankers are halted. Ata time four tankers can stand on the Bay. it also has a raised platform with stairs, having height justifying the height of a tanker so as to reach the top of the tankers ( for sampling cleaning etc.). Before arrival of the tanker at the tanker bay it is first weighted at the Weight Bridge. The weight of the incoming tanker is recorded and for empting of tanker a hose pipe is connected to the outlet of the tanker and the other end is connected to the inlet pipe of the filter (2 nos). A centrifugal pump then pumps the milk to the RMRD section. The pipe carrying milk is connected to the suction pipe of the centrifugal pump at RMRD (which is used for pumping raw milk to processing section). The milk is then pumped via buffalo milk filter to the processing section for pasteurization and then to silo number 5 or 6 for standardization of cheese milk.

PROCESSING SECTION
The underlying operations of processing section are Pasteurization Standardization. Whey processing (RO Plant). Tanker loading and unloading. Overview of Operations Chilling of the milk received from R.M.R.D. marks the initialization of operations in the processing section. Chilling of raw milk is necessary to address the growth of microorganisms present in milk and thereby preventing its deterioration. Cow milk and buffalo milk is separately pumped from the dump tank via respective filters and are chilled in cow milk and buffalo milk chillers respectively. Both the chillers are Plate Heat Exchanger type with a capacity of 30 KLPH the cooling medium used is chilled water. Milk is chilled to a temperature of 50C and transferred to intermediate tank, Cow milk and buffalo milk is pumped cow milk intermediate tank (CMIT) and buffalo milk intermediate tank (BMIT) each having a capacity of 20,000 Ltr. The milk and chilled water flow in a counter current fashion, which ensures maximum heat transfer. The chilled milk is stored in buffalo milk intermediate tank and cow milk intermediate tank and then pumped to pasteurizer via a balance tank. The pasteurizer is again a Plate Heat Exchanger with a capacity of 30,000 LPH. The pasteurized milk is then pumped to silo no. 5 and 6 (for cheese making), Silo no. 1 and 2 (for tanker filing). Pasteurization Pasteurization performed at 783C. Importance of pasteurization from cheese making point of view: 1. To destroy all the pathogenic microorganisms and spoilage agent. 2. To ensure uniformity of product PHE Technical Details Make : Alfa Laval

To regulate the fat in the dry matter of cheese. (2. To producer the maximum amount of cheese per kg. of fat in cheese milk. (3). To ensure desirable body and texture characteristic in the finished product. Approach The % fat and % protein of milk estimated by the milkoscan. This gives rapid results as compared to other methods of estimation. As it is known that 80% of milk proteins are casein, there fore the total casein % of milk is calculated by multiplying the % protein by 0.8 (80/100) which gives the % casein in milk. Now % casein is divided by %. Fat in milk. The resulted value is the C/F ratio of non standardized milk. For a given % of casein, % fat is calculated which will give C/F = 0.7. Now the difference between this fat % and fat % of non-standardized milk is calculated, and fat % is reduced by adding proportionate quantity of skim milk.

Whey Processing

Introduction Whey is the by product obtained during the manufacture of cheese, paneer Composition Sr.No. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Constituents Water Fat Protein Lactose Ash Percentage (%) 93.1 0.3 0.9 4.9 0.6

Whey has always been a bugbear for cheese manufacturers. The quantity produced is approx. 88% of the milk taken for cheese making, which itself poses a problem in handling of whey. Further, the low TS content and high acidity hinders the efficient utilization of whey. Traditionally, whey was drained and no sort of commercial utilization technique was practiced. This is obviously undesirable both from economic point of view, and environmental aspect, as well. Membrane Processing Dairy industry witnessed a real break through in the whey processing with the advent of Membrane Processing Technology. The membrane separation processes are based on the ability of semi-permeable membranes to discriminate between molecules on the basis of size, shape & chemical composition. The role of a membrane is to act as a selective barrier. It permits the passage of certain components, referred to as 'permeate' and retains certain other components concentrate or 'retenate' of a fluid mixture. Ultra Filtration (UF) is a fractionation process separating molecular species on the basis of size, using a membrane, which retains the large molecules and allows water and other molecules to pass. Thus from milk, some water, salts and lactose can be filtered out, leaving a concentrate richer in protein and fat. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is similar in operation to UF. But employs a tighter membrane able to pass water only. The RO is therefore, concentration process. In the UF & RO processes, the solution is forced through the membrane under pressure and particles with a sufficiently high molecular weight are separated.

The whey is then chilled (upto 7-80C) and then pumped to silo no. 3 or 4. From whey silo it is pumped to balance tank (Tank A). Tank A is fitted internally with coils, in which hot water is circulated through a hot water set & pump assembly. The temperature of whey is brought upto 18-250C .A feed pump then pumps the whey to the micro filter module at a pressure of 3-4 kg/cm2 which is a type of duplex filter. The fat residues in the whey are separated and the whey is passed to the dampener. A pressure drop of 0.5 to 1 kg/cm2 occurs in the microfilteration module and the outlet pressure is the range of 2.5- 3.00 Kg/cm2 The dampener removes the air bubbles from the whey if any. The whey is then pumped by a high pressure reciprocating pump (Triplex Plunger Pump) to the 1st stage of the NF set (HPA-I). The inlet pressure must be in the range of 11-15.5 kg/cm2. Filtration of whey is carried out. Only water is permeable through the nanofilters &the rest solids are retained back in the concentrate which respectively constitute the permeate and retentate. The whey concentrate (retentate of HPA-I) is led to the tank B and water (permeate) is used for irrigation purpose. The whey, after passing through the HPA-I, NF modules has a TS content of 12-13%. The partially concentrated whey is now pumped by the feed pump to another set of micro filters and to Dampener. A high pressure reciprocating pump then pumps the whey to the HPA-II .NF modules at the pressure of 12-18kg/cm2 .Water is further removed from the whey and thus the latter is concentrated to about 16%TS. A pressure drop of 1-1.5 kg/cm 2 will occur in the HPA-II and outlet pressure will be 11-17 kg/2 . This concentrate is passed to tank-C. From Tank-C it is passed to a chiller (PHE type) so that outlet temperature is about 5-60C. They chilled concentrated whey is stored in Horizontal Milk Storage Tank (HMST). From where it is filled in tanker and transported to Anand (AMUL) for whey powder manufacture. Standard operating parameters HPA-1

Cheese Manufacturing Section

Introduction This section involves manufacturing of cheddar cheese from standardized milk (C/F = 0.7). Mechanization of cheddar cheese manufacture involves State of the art technology with highly sophisticated equipments coupled with PLC control.

Cheese
PFA Definition (Hard) Cheese means the product obtained by draining after the coagulation of milk with a harmless milk coagulating agent, under the influence of harmless bacterial cultures. It shall not contain any ingredients not found in milk, except coagulating agent, sodium chloride, calcium chloride (anhydrous salt) not exceeding 0.02 % by weight, annatto or carotene colour, and may contain certain emulsifiers and / or stabilizers, namely citric acid, sodium citrate or sodium salts of orthophosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid not exceeding 0.2% by weight; wax used for covering the outer surface should not contain anything harmful to the health. In case the wax is coloured, only permitted food colours, may be used. Hard cheese shall contain not more than 43.0% moisture and not less than 42.0% milk fat of the dry matter. Hard cheese may contain 0.1 % of sorbic acid or its sodium, potassium or calcium salts or 0.1% of nisin. Principle of Cheese Making Cheese making involves coagulation of milk protein (casein) by the action of rennet. Before addition of rennet, starter cultures (LAB) are added to provide congenial conditions for the activity of rennet. Starter culture is rightly called "Heart of the Cheese" as it is heart not only furnishes favorable conditions for rennet activity but also aids in flavor development during ripening and generation of special features in some varieties. (Such as eye formation in Swiss cheese). The coagulation of milk protein is carried out by milk coagulation rennet, which is basically a combination of enzymes rennin (Chymosin) pepsin, principally the former being responsible for milk clotting and the later for proteolysis. Principle of Rennet Action / Mechanism Rennet contains enzyme rennin (80%) and pepsin (20%). Rennet brings about clotting as well as proteolysis in milk during cheese making.

(A) Clotting Action Clotting process occurs in two stages: First, a specific action of rennin on the caseinate and second coagulation or clotting of the product under the influence of calcium salts in the milk. It is easy to separate the two stages by manipulating the temperature or the calcium content. First Stage (Destabilizing Stage):

In this stage it appears that rennin induces a specific irreversible change in the casein. This change is only very slight since the altered product (often called as "paracasein") does not differ detectably from the original case in most properties. In this step casein micelle is destabilized by disturbance of its colloidal nature as a result of action of rennin on K-casein fraction of casein, as indicated below. Rennin Casein micelle Para K-casein + Glycomacropeptide (K-casein) The above reaction is due to the cleavage of peptide linkage between amino acids at 105 and 106 positions in the peptide chain of K-casein, which has a total length of 169 amino acids. K Casein

Pyroglutamyl ----Para K casein

Phe 105

Net ----Valine 106 169 K caseinomacropeptide Rennet

(B) Second Stage (Coagulation Step) The paracasein obtained after destabilizing of K-casein is almost similar in properties to the original casein fraction, of milk. However, the most spectacular difference in properties between the intact casein and rennet treated case in is the sensitivity to precipitation by divalent cations, such as calcium. Rennet treated casein (para casein) gets quickly coagulated in presence of calcium ions. The reaction takes place as follows. Para K-casein + Ca2+ Calcium para K-caseinate (Clot)

(C) Proteolytic Action Milk proteins are broken down to peptides of varying lengths due to rennet activity mainly during ripening of cheese. The primary action consists of a mild proteolysis of the case in involving the liberation of small amount of a peptide or more than one peptide from the molecule. Rennin has been found to have this action on -casein but not on - or - casein. About 2% of the total nitrogen of -casein is thus liberated in the form of low molecular weight peptides. Before the product is rendered coagulable with calcium. Rennin Protein ( -casein) Peptides

Receiving cheese milk Cheese milk is received from processing section where it is pasteurized and standardized (for C/F = 0.7) cheese milk is stored in Silo No. 5 and 6 in manufacturing section. Milk from silos is sampled and sent to laboratory for checking the C/F ratio and for alkaline phosphatase test etc. 2. Preheating Cheese milk is pumped from silo to a pre-heater (plate heat exchanger) via a Balance Tank where it is preheated to a temperature of 310C. Purpose: To provide optimum condition for culture and rennet activity. 3. Receiving Milk In Vat The preheated milk is then pumped to the "Double O" Vat. About 15000 ltr. milk is taken for one batch. The milk is continuously agitated in the vat. 4. Starter Culture Addition Purpose 1. The basic purpose of addition of starter culture is to increase the acidity and decrease the pH so as to furnish congenial condition for rennet activity. 2. To produce flavour compounds during ripening of cheese. Starter Culture is prepared in a separate room. For culture preparation, the freeze dried mesophilic homo-fermentative culture preparation is added to 1000 lit of milk which is first preheated to 900C and then cooled to 35-400C, followed by incubation for 8 hr. The final acidity of culture is about 0.5-0.6 % LA.. Starter culture is added to vat @ 1-1.5% of milk. The acidity is allowed to develop for 30 min to the extent of 0.02% from the initial level of acidity of milk. 5. Renneting Purpose - The purpose of rennet addition is to coagulate milk protein (casein) and formation of a firm curd. Approach - After proper development of acidity renneting is carried out. The commercial rennet preparation "Chymax", prepared from Aspergillus Niger var. awameri by recombinant technology (supplied by Chr. Hansen) is used for carring out the coagulation of milk. This preparation is in granular form and is added with 20 to 30 times its weight of potable water having neutral pH. This solution is then added to cheese milk in the vat. Stirring is continuously carried out for mixing of the rennet.

6. Setting Purpose - The purpose of setting is to give sufficient time for rennet action which will result in a firm curd. Setting is done by leaving the milk in vat undisturbed for 1 hour. 7. Cutting Purpose: - The basic purpose of cutting is to increase the rate of whey expulsion from the curd by increasing the surface area for removal of whey. Cutting is carried out by rotating blades for 10 min after cutting. 8. Cooking Purpose cooking aims at further contracting of the curd particles and expulsion of whey. These changes are manipulated by temperature and agitation during cooking. Approach - cooking is done by circulation of steam in the jacket of the double O vat. Cooking temperature vary in the range of 36 to 400C for 30 min. Acidity of the curd drops down during cooking due to continuous expulsion of whey (syneresis) from curd pieces and attains a final value of approximately 0.09 to 0.1. After the cooking is completed a sample is drawn out of the vat and tested for acidity and pH. After cooking is completed the curd mass is stirred for 15 min. 9. Transferring To Cheese Master The curd whey mixture is then transferred from the vat to the top of the cheese machine (also called cheese master) where it falls on the first belt. The curd whey mixture is uniformly distributed on the belt where most of the whey is removed which is collected in the whey sump. The curd pieces moves with the belt and passes through stirrers which adds in further whey drainage. Here matting and fusing of the curd is done. It is then transferred to the second belt where the mat is inverted and cheddaring takes place at the end of second belt the curd is milled to chips of uniform size which falls on the third belt. After milling dry salt is sprinkled on the curd pieces. Further stirring is carried out for efficient mixing of the salt. On the first belt the acidity of the curd is about 0.118% LA and it increases gradually as the curd moves forward on the belt and is reaches to final value 0.68 to 0.70 %LA on the third belt. Due to salting of the curd further whey removal occurs this salted whey is collected in a separate sump from where it is pumped to salted whey tank. In salted whey tank gravity separation is carried out which results in separation of fat which is recovered and filled in cans. The remaining salted whey is drained out. The whey collected in the sump of first and second belt is pumped to a fine siever where by the application of the centrifugal force suspended curd particles and whey is separated. The whey is then transferred to a whey intermediate tank. From this tank it is passed on to a separator where fat is centrifugally separated from the whey The fat is transferred to a whey fat tank and the defatted whey is transferred to silo 3 and 4 via a chiller (plate heat exchanger). From where it is transferred for membrane processing. The fat is taken in cans from the whey fat tank and is transferred to Anand for Ghee making.

10. Transfer To Cheese Tower The milled and salted chips (curd pieces) are drawn by vacuum to the top of the cheese tower. The tower is filled; curd begins to fuse into a continuous columnar mass. Regular blocks of identical size weighing 20 kg are automatically guillotined (G-cut), then pressing of each block is carried out at a pressure of 6 kg / cm2 for 39 sec. during pressing some whey is remove from the block which is removed and transferred to tower whey tank. Multilayer cryovac barrier bags are applied to the door of the tower. The block is ejected and bagged which is manually pulled out and put on the conveyor. 11. Vacuum Packaging Of Blocks Purpose 1. To protect the cheese from attack by molds, insects and fault inducing microorganisms. 2. To prevent moisture loss from cheese blocks during ripening. In the vacuum packing machine first of all the air inside the bag is evacuated and the open ends of the bag are sealed. One of the major advantage of vacuum packing is that it eliminates the requirement of humidity control in ripening room. 12. Weighing Of Blocks After the vacuum packing of blocks each block is weighed on the weighing machine and its weight is recorded.

13. Transfer To Blast Room Blocks are kept in crates which are then transferred to the blast room. In blast room cooled air at about 80C is circulated at high velocity. Blocks are kept in blast room for 8 hours. Purpose 1. To reduce the temperature of cheese blocks to arrest microbial activity. 2. To reduce the heat load in the cold storage. 14. Curing Of Cheese The curing or ripening of cheese involves storage of green cheese for two months or more according to requirements of processed cheese, for a temperature about 5-6 0C. Profound changes occurs in the physical, chemical, and bacteriological properties of cheese due to activity of starter organisms and enzymes as a result of which protein breakdown, fat hydrolysis etc. occurs, which results in the production of flavour compound and imparts desirable body and texture characteristics. Description of Equipments (A). Double O vat This type of cheese vat resembles an open figure of eight, and can be used for production of curd for majority of cheese varieties. The capacity of vat is 15000 lit. The vat is totally enclosed.

Double blades operate in one direction for stirring and reverse for cutting. Cheese making operation starting from addition of culture to the cooking of curd is carried out in the double O vat. The local PLC system attached with the vat helps in carrying out various operations with efficient control. The construction the vat offers improve cheese yields production of consistent high quality cheese and minimizes fat and curd fines loses in the whey. There are 4 such vats in the manufacturing section. (B). Cheese Machine Cheese machine is also called as cheese master (Make: Wincanton Engineering). It is highly advanced mechanized cheddaring machine. In this, the curd whey mixture is uniformly distributed on a special drainage screen where most of the whey is removed. The curd then falls in the first belt, which has stirrers for further whey drainage. In cheese machine, there are in all 3 belts each of which made of Teflon and perforated for removal of whey. The top and bottom belt moves in same direction while the middle one moves in opposite direction. The belts complete one rotation in 30 min . matting and fusing begins in the first belt itself. It is then transferred to the second belt where the mat is inverted through angle of 900 which results in cheddaring of curd in due course. At the end of second belt the curd is milled into chips of uniform size which falls on the third belt. The milled curd is salted by the to and fro motion of the sprinkler. Stirring is carried out for proper mixing of salt. (C). Cheese Tower (The block former system) Critical problem in cheddar cheese making has long been that of producing well formed uniform blocks. The block former, utilizing a basically simple system of vacuum treatment and gravity feed solves this problem. The continuous block former has eliminated the use of moulds. The milled and salted chips are drawn by vacuum to the top of the tower. The tower is filled and the curd begins to fuse into a continuous columnar mass. Vacuum is applied to the column throughout its height to deliver a uniform product, free from whey and air, at the base of machine. Regular blocks of identical size, having a weight of 20 kg, are automatically guillotined (G-cut) i.e. they are cut from the continuous column. The blocks are then pressed to a pressure of 6 kg / cm3 and then automatically ejected and bagged by opening the door of the tower. High capacity is achieved by linking all the three towers together.

Ingredients used in processed cheese

In manufacturing of processed cheese following ingredients are added to raw cheese and each ingredient plays very important role in body, texture, appearance, taste and keeping quality of final processed cheese. These ingredients are; i). Water ii). Salt iii). Sodium Citrate iv). Citric acid v). Tricalcium phosphate vi). Sodium hexameta phosphate, vii). Sorbic acid and Nisin Besides these basic ingredients other optional ingredients can also used for their specific utilities viz. skim milk powder and / or whey powder DSP (Di sodium phosphate), butter etc. Function / Role of Basic Ingredients in Processed Cheese 1. Water - To maintain the moisture and body of final product as per its packaging requirements. 2. Salt - It enhances sensory attributes in processed cheese and complements the final taste of the product. It also acts as a preservative.

3. Sodium Citrate - It regulates the body and texture of processed cheese. It gives specific soft and smooth body and texture characteristics in finished product. It also produces desirable melting and slicing properties in the finished cheese. Sodium citrate acts as a emulsifier and it binds calcium which is necessary to stabilize the cheese, so that it will not release moisture or fat during heating. 4. Citric Acid: - It acts mainly as a acidifying agent and regulates the pH of final cheese. 5. Tri calcium phosphate (TCP) - Tri calcium phosphate is added to the processed cheese batch only when slice is prepared. The basic purpose of TCP is to provide a shining appearance to cheese slices. 6. Sodium Hexametaphosphate - Sodium Hexametaphosphate is added to the processed cheese when intended for chiplet form of packing. Sodium hexameta phosphate impart specific anti threading property, which is important during filling of the cheese through nozzle in the cup formed by the body foil. 7. Sorbic acid and Nisin - These acts as a preservative and enhances the shelf life of the product. Sorbic acid is a antifungal agent and nisin is particularly effective against the Gram positive bacteria. Procedure 1. Selection of Raw (Natural) Cheese Selection of raw cheese mainly depends upon the desired flavour, body and texture and end use of final product. Raw cheese is selected under the criteria of type, flavour, maturity, texture composition and pH. Relatively young cheese produces mild flavour, smooth texture, firm body and has good slicing properties, while older well cured cheese produces a strong flavour, grainy texture, weak body and has poor slicing properties. Highly acid cheese tends to produce a grainy texture. 2. Computation of Ingredients After selection of raw cheese for blending, ingredients are divided and their amounts are calculated. It varies according to final a body and texture characteristic requirement which mainly depends upon its packaging form. For example in the chiplet packing, the mechanism needs to avoid thread formation in processed cheese which is normal characteristic of a normal composition of processed cheese hence for this requirement we have to add. The anti threading agent "sodium hexameta phosphate" to the processed cheese and similarly in slice packing, the cheese requires soft body and shining surface with some sweetness in taste. Hence here the ingredients are changed rather than the ingredients of chiplet form of cheese. Hence computation of ingredients is done for following purposes. 1. To achieve desired body and texture characteristic in final cheese 2. To achieve legal standards in quality of cheese. Quantity of ingredients is calculated for 66 kg of raw cheese while during calculation the quality standards are kept in mind. Raw cheese is tested regularly for fat salt, moisture and pH, and a quality standard is prepared previously for each packing form of processed cheese in which required maximum level of fat salt, moisture and pH are described.

Blending Blending is the operation of bringing together for processing cheese of different age groups. Purpose 1. To prepare a separate batch for processing 2. To facilitate subsequent operations After selection of raw cheese they are arranged in a batch. Each batch contains 10 blocks of raw cheese and each block having average weight of 20 kg. Blending is done 24 hours before processing. In the mean time tempering of cheese block is carried out.

Advantages
1. It makes a separate batch of raw cheese being special formulae for a special quality of processed cheese. 2. It facilitates subsequent operations.

3. Makes easier to handle the batch and programme planning for production of processed cheese. 4. Tempering And Cleaning Tempering of cheese refers to brining it to proper consistency or hardness and cleaning refers to the removal of inedible portion of cheese before processing. Tempering Purpose:-To bring the cheese to proper consistency or hardness that facilitates subsequent cutting process. Before blending the cheese blocks are stored in curing room at about 9 100C at this stage it is very hard and difficult to cut into pieces. Hence after blending the cheese blocks are brought to blending room from the curing room where it is kept for about 24 hr during this time the cheese blocks attains a temperature of about 210C. Now the tempered cheesed blocks have achieved proper consistency and hardness and are ready for cutting. Cleaning Purpose - 1. To remove inedible portion from cheese. 2. To prepare the raw cheese for processing Before cutting the multilayer plastic bag is teared off and any undesirable portion of cheese is scarped off. 5. Cutting Before processing each block of tempered cheese is cut into 12 pieces. Purpose:1. To facilitate subsequent processing operation. 2. To facilitate dividing each batch of raw cheese into 3 lots for processing. For cutting of raw cheese it is first cleaned and then feed into a machine called cheese cutting machine or cheese cutter. In the machine two pushers are assembled perpendicular to each other which work in synchronization with each other. Machine is operated automatically. The cheese block is cut into four pieces and then it pushes across 2 wires by next pusher and each quarter of one block is cut into 3 small pieces consequently one block of 20 kg of cheese is cut into 12 pieces of equal size and shape. After cutting one batch of raw cheese having total weight of 200 kg is divided into 3 lots hence each lot of cheese will contain 66 kg of raw cheese. During dividing into 3 lots precaution should be kept in mind that equal portion of each cheese block should be distributed into each lot. For this 4 pieces out of 12 pieces of one block are taken in each lot. Therefore 3 lots are prepared for processing to processed cheese. 6. Addition of Water And Other Ingredients After preparation of lots, one lot of 66 kg of raw cheese is fed into a Stephan cooker also called kettle for cooking of cheese. Before cooking of cheese the calculated amount of water, salt and other essential ingredients are added to the batch and then it is processed in the kettle. 7. Thermal Processing / Cooking of cheese

The mixture is heated in steam-jacketed kettle at a temperature of 850C. Agitators in the kettle constantly agitate the mixture during heating to avoid scorching. The cooking process takes place under vacuum which offers advantage from the point of view of heating and emulsification. Vacuum decreases the boiling point of mixture which prevents heat damage to the product and also it removes undesirable odors and flavours and makes it easier to regulate the moisture content. Due to heating processed cheese mass acquires more plastic, homogeneous smooth and glossy characteristics. Three different speed options are provided in the kettle, viz. slow, middle and fast. During start of the batch, the agitator is run in slow mode with steam circulation in the jacket. When a temperature of 700C is achieved, the speed is turned on to middle, and is maintained to a temperature of 850C. This takes around 3-5 mins after which steam supply is cut off and agitation is stopped and the bleeder valve is opened to release the vacuum. The lid of the kettle is opened and the processed cheese is transferred to a pan by inverting the kettle. 8. Packaging It is very essential that packaging of processed cheese is carried out when it is hot; otherwise it gets solidified on cooling and will not be able to pack in any form. Hence as soon as the processed cheese is obtained in pan it is pumped to the hopper of packaging machines. Processed cheese is packed in four different forms viz. Chiplet Slice Tin Block (or refill) Each packaging form have a specific machine which utilizes special mechanism for forming of package filling of processed cheese and sealing. Packets / Tins of processed cheese are weighted and are arranged conveniently in cartons, which are sealed with tapes. Packaging Forms and Machines (1). Chiplet Chiplet is cuboids in shape and weights 25 gram. Make: Sapal (Switzerland) Capacity: 500 chiplets / min (max.) Packaging material used: Aluminium foil. Operation Body foil roll and lid foil roll is loaded in the machine. Body foil is cut into octagonal shaped pieces. Four pieces are made at a time. The product is then intermittently filled in the body foil of chiplets four at a time.

The top lid also made up of aluminium foil is cut in square shape and put on the top of body foil that covers the product. The sides of chiplets are then folded in a folder machine. The folded ends of chiplets are sealed by heat sealers. The chiplet is then taken out of the cup by lifting the table. Now the chiplets are placed on the conveyer belt where they are manually picked, kept in cardboard boxes to which stickers are applied and placed on a conveyer. The conveyer carries the boxes beneath a printing machine where batch no, date of manufacture and MRP is printed. (2) Slice Make: Green Bay Machinery (GBM), USA Capacity: 600 Slices / Min Packing material used: LDPE The mechanism of slice making of GBM closes resembles the form fill seal (FFS) machine. In GBM machine the product is pumped from a balance tank and filled in a continuous film of LDPE which is vertically sealed just before filling of the product. This continuous film is sprinkled with coldwater. The film then passes through a bath of potassium sorbate, which acts as a antifungal agent. The film then passes through a roller which creates the final shape of the slice. The gaps generated by the rollers are sealed by horizontal scalers and witting is done from same position. The cut slices are arranged in 3 stacks each having 10 slices. The GBM machine is coupled with Hayseen RT 1000 (modified atmospheric packaging machine). The roll of Biaxial Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) is loaded in machine. As the roll moves forward the batch no., date of manufacturing and MRP is printed. Further it comes on a belt conveyor on other hand lots of 10 slices are arranged manually in chain conveyor that carries the slices to the belt conveyor on the package. The package is then sealed vertically which makes an enclosed chamber. The mixture of N2 and CO2 in ratio of 3:1 is forced in the enclosed film which removes the oxygen. The packets are then sealed, cut and weighted and packed in cartons. (3) Tin Make of machine: - Gasti Packaging material used: - Tin (Coated internally with food grade epoxy phenolic lacquer) Final Weight: - 400 gm Operation

The machine consists of a long conveyor on which tin cans are placed upside down after passing over a vacuum pump, which removes adhering dust inside the can. The can then moves through conveyor and is filled with processed cheese which is being pumped from the kettle assembly to the hopper of filling unit. The bottom of hopper is fitted with an arrangement (piston and cylinder) which allows intermittent filling of the product. The can moves below of the hopper and is filled with the product. After some length, bottoms are placed manually on the tins and they are allowed to move to the sealing machine. The sealing machine presses the bottom on the can and seals them The cans are then cleaned for any product residues which may be sticking to the outside surface. The cans are now dropped from chain conveyor to belt conveyor. The belt conveyor moves the bottom can surface beneath the printing machine which prints the batch no., date of manufacture, and MRP. Plastic lids are applied manually on the top of the can and then they are loaded in crates. One crate contains 45 cans. The cans are then placed in cartons, one carton contains 36 cans. (4) Block Packing Processed cheese is packed in 200,400 gram and 1Kg.blocks. The machine consists of a hopper in which processed cheese is fed from the kettle. Cartons of 25 gram are placed on the platform, with the top side opened. The box is lined internally with Aluminium foil. A motor operated filling system is used to fill the boxes with fixed quantity of product. ..

Refrigeration Section of KSD

Definition The term 'REFRIGERATION' may be defined as the process of removing heat from a substance under controlled conditions. It also includes the process of reducing and maintaining the temperature of a body below the general temperature of its surroundings. In other words the refrigeration means a continued extraction of heat from a body whose temperature is already below the temperature of its surroundings. Introduction Refrigeration is one of the prime utilities in a dairy plant. Milk and milk products being extremely perishable in nature, requires to be kept under refrigerated storage. Also, it is required

for maintaining comfort conditions in offices and labs. (A.C.).etc. Mechanical Vapour Recompression system is the most feasible refrigeration system for large size plants. Refrigeration System The refrigeration system installed at AMUL is a mechanical vapour recompression system, with ammonia (R-717) (NH3) as the primary refrigerant. This system works on the principle of vapour recompression cycle. Water is used as the secondary refrigerant by chilling it to about 00C by the primary refrigerant ammonia. The chilled water is then circulated through a network of pipelines in the plant according to the need. This type of refrigeration system is called as indirect refrigeration system. In such system evaporator is conveniently called as Ice Bank Tank. Basic Components 1. Compressor Compressor sucks the vapour at low temperature and low pressure from the evaporator and discharges at high temperature and pressure to condenser. The compressor compresses the vapour refrigerant and raises its pressure so that the corresponding saturation temperature is higher than that of the cooling medium. It also continually circulates the refrigerant through the refrigerating system. 2. Condenser The Condenser is an important device used in high pressure side of refrigerating system. It consists of coils of pipe in which the high pressure and temperatureerature vapour refrigerant is cooled and condensed. The refrigerant while passing through the condenser gives up its latent heat to the surrounding condensing medium and changes its phase from vapour to liquid state. 3. Receiver Receiver is a vessel in which the condensed liquid refrigerant is stored and from where it is supplied to evaporation through expansion. 4. Expansion device Also called throttling device or metering device, is an important component of a refrigerating system. The function of expansion device is to allow the liquid refrigerant under high pressure and temperature to pass at a controlled rate after reducing its pressure and temperature. Some of liquid refrigerant evaporates as it passes through the expansion device but greater portion is vaporized in the evaporator at low pressure and temperature.

5. Evaporator It consists of coils of pipe and is used in the low pressure side of refrigeration system. The liquid refrigerant at low pressure and temperatureerature enters into evaporator from expansion valve where it takes heat from the surrounding of the evaporator coils and change into vapour. In evaporating, the liquid refrigerant absorbs its latent heat of vaporization from the medium, which is to be cooled.

Refrigeration Process One cycle of mechanical vapour recompression system is completed by four basic processes. 1. Compression 2. Condensation 3. Expansion and 4. Evaporation Vapor refrigerant at low pressure and temperature from evaporator is sucked by the compressor and discharged at high pressure and temperature, by mechanical work of compressor. The lubricating oil used in compressor gets mixed with refrigerant which is removed in a oil separator. The high pressure and high temperature vapour refrigerant from compressor enters into the condenser where it losses its latent heat and acquire liquid phase, but the pressure and temperature remains unchanged. The condenser is a shell and tube type, water cooled condenser. The cooling medium (water) extracts latent heat from the vapour refrigerant and gets partially heated. It is collected in sump at the bottom of condenser and from where it is pumped to the cooling tower. It is a induced draft type cooling tower in which the water from condenser is cooled and pumped back to condenser top. The liquid refrigerant is collected in receiver from where it passes to the expansion device. A capillary tube is used as expansion device. Due to the frictional resistance offered by small diameter capillary tube, the pressure of refrigerant drops and the temperature as well. The refrigerant is introduced in the economizer where due to sudden pressure drop some part of liquid refrigerant acquires vapour state, which is passed to the compressor. The liquid refrigerant is now passed to the accumulator, from where it is pumped to the Ice Bank Tank. The IBT contains, coils submerged in water. the liquid refrigerant extracts latent heat of vaporization from water and gets evaporated. The temperature of water drops down and it is continuously agitated to avoid form of ice. The chilled water is circulated through pumps in different sections as per requirements. The vapors from IBT coils enters into the accumulator top from where it sucked by the compressor.

For improving the heat absorption efficiency it is important to ensure that heat transfer surfaces both on fuel gas and water side are clean. These are fouling deposits and salt due to bad water on water side and bad and bad quality of oil gives soot and sublimed and condensed salts on the gas side. Measurement of stack temperature gives an indication of absorption efficiency.

Safety 1. The most important in the operation of boiler is that it is the presence of water on the heating surfaces which prevents the buckling oof pressure parts taking point of safety. The water inside boiler is really to cool the boiler to prevent heat damage to the flame swept area rather than producing steam. 2. Flame temperature us 1100o C. It is important to put water level above the combustion chamber. Achieved by designing of automatic water level controller. 3. A mechanical relief of pressure in case everything fails is to be provided, open at combustion pressure. Description of Boilers 1.

Process details The fermented and dried cocoa bean are purchased by the department:A. Fermentation and drying A good flavour in the final cocoa or chocolate due to fermentation and drying. During fermentation and drying process, the unfermented wet beans taken from the pod lose about 65% of their weight assuming the final optimum moisture content of 6% is attained. B. Cleaning To remove foreign matters. To remove adhesive matters stones. There is vibrating action so adhesive matter can be separated. Air is blown forcely to remove light material. C. Roasting Roasting is done to eliminate the moisture. To produce the special chocolate flavour and aroma. Roasting is done at 120-1300 C with the help of steam at 5-6 kg/cm2 . Roasting procedure reduces the moisture level below to 2.5%. After roasting cocoa beans are cooled for 10 min. and transferred to winnower. D. Winnowing Winnowing machine crushes beans into smaller pieces and separates the shells from nibs. (i.e. the Cotyledon). Shells or husks are separated by vibrating and shaking action and also beans are broken by rollers. Husk are transferred to cattle feed factory. The separated nibs are transferred to cocoa mass making machine. E. Cocoa mass making machine In this machine, there are three rollers. There is breaking knife to obtain mass. Pressure maintained is 40-50 bars and temperature is 30-400 C. Mass is heated and agitated and collected in tanks. Magnet is present in the machine to remove metal pieces. Cocoa mass is stored at 900 C. F. Hydraulic pressing Pressing is done to separate the cocoa butter from the cocoa liquor and to get the cocoa cake. Cocoa cake is made for making cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is used in chocolate & malted milk food manufacturing.

Pressure is 400 kg/sq.cm. at 700 to 1400 rpm. The end of we get cocoa butter & 5 cocoa cakes. G. Grinding The cocoa cake is then ground to make cocoa butter. Cocoa cake is broken into small pieces, then put into cake breaker to get small pieces & then put into Pin mill. Cocoa powder is collected into drums and packed. H. Mixing For milk chocolate mass, cocoa liquor is to be taken first and then icing sugar or milk powder and finally cocoa butter is mixed into the mixer. For dark chocolate mass, first cocoa liquor then icing sugar. For compound coating mass, first vegetable fat and icing sugar, milk powder, cocoa powder and lecithin. For chocopaste, first vegetable fat and then icing sugar and cocoa powder is mixed into the mixer. I. Refining The mixed mass is allowed to refine and reduced in the particle size to get the smooth mass. The rollers rotate in opposite direction. It has 5 rollers, each roller has different pressure. st 1 Roller 2 3 kg/cm2 26-280 C 2nd Roller 3 4 kg/cm2 28-300 C rd 2 3 Roller 4 5 kg/cm 28-300 C 4th Roller 4-5 kg/cm2 38-400 C 5th Roller 2 kg/cm2 28-300 C J. Conching There are three conches having different capacities. The refined mass is than subjected to the conching operation for flavour development. To attain the required moisture content. To get smooth texture & body of chocolate. First dry conching is carried out by adding emulsifier and flavours for 2 hrs. Then wet conching is done by adding remaining cocoa butter for 20 hrs & temperature is < 550C. For milk chocolate mass max. temp. is 550C & dark chocolate mass max. temp. is 750C. After conching moisture of chocolate should be less than 1.5%. K. Tempering There are two sectors in tempering machine.

The temp. is maintained at 26-28 0 C in 1st sector and 28-300 C in 2nd sector. It is done to get good consistency . Tempering is done for attaining the proper or stable crystallization. Tempering converts all the unstable forms into the stable form. If stable form of crystallization has not been achieved, the chocolate will not leave the mould surface. Shining property of chocolate. Note Four forms of crystals are found in cocoa butter viz. alpha, beta, beta prime and gamma. The beta prime is the more stable form. Moreover the property of chocolate is to shrink when cooled and leave the the surface of the mould when demoulding is done. L. Moulding After tempering chocolate is poured through depositor into suitable moulds to get the desired shape and structure. M. Vibrating belt After moulding moulds are transferred on conveyor and simultaneously vibrated by vibrator so chocolate is properly disturbed. N. Cooling It is cooled at temperature 8-10 0C for 20-22 mins. and then demoulded by 2-3 stroking action and then transferred on conveyor for packing. Packaging and storage Chocolate is wrapped in aluminium foil and then by paper. The packets are sealed and chocolate are packed in paper boxes. Then chocolates boxes are packed in big cartons and stored in cold storage. Three SIG packing machines.80 gm ,40 gm and 35gm,18gm are provided for packing chocolate and then chocolate is stored at 150C-200C.

BREAD SPREAD
History The food complex at Mogar, a plant 8 km. away from Anand facilitates to manufacture malted milk foods, Chocolate, Bread spread (Delicious, Amullite) and ready to eat extruded food products. It was a humble effort by Amul to prove the world that a farmer's co-operative can also manufacture Chocolates. Definition Margarine or fat spread Margarine or fat spread are product made from emulsion of fat/oil and water/milk solids dissolved in water. Water or aqueous phase is dispersed/mixed in fat/oil phase (continuous phase) after adding emulsifier to get emulsion. The emulsion is then chilled to get margarine. Bread spread Bread spread is a water-in-oil emulsion consisting of continuous phase (aqueous phase) finely dispersed in the oil phase. The oil phase contains fat crystals, which give body to the product. Bread spread is a type of fat spread or margarine. Usage 1.Consumed with bread and bun. 2. Used in bakery. Intended use The product is intended for consumption by general population, which will include children and the elderly.
