12 crores.
A requisition form is filled for the requirement of any material by any section. This form is
approved by the relevant section chief and is forwarded to the store, which provides goods
according to the requisition. The raw materials like chemicals, packing materials sugar, color,
stabilizer etc. that are required in the factory are demanded by the factory to the store
according to the need. The store demand good on the basis of the demand made by the factory
to the administrative section. They in turn order these inventories directly or through tender.
Transaction and recording of inventories are done through store.

For milk polyethene film made from virgin food grade LDPE film is used and green
color printing is used as designed by NMC dairy. Polyethene packs are used for paneer
and butter also.
Green colored plastic crates made from HDPE are used for milk pouches.Each crate has
capacity of 24 milk pouches.
For the yoghurt cups blue colored HDPE crates are used.each crate stores 24 cups of
18
2000ml and 6 cups of both 500ml and 1l.
6. Analysis performed
Principle
When sulphuric acid is added to milk the proteins will be digested thus destroying the
membrane of the fat globules. The free fat is released. The fat remains in liquid due to the
heat produced and during centrifugation the fat being lighter will be separated on top of the
solution. Addition of the amyl alcohol has the function of separating fat from other
components.
Procedure
10ml of Gerber Sulphuric acid was measured into the clean butyrometer.
10.75ml of the milk was pipette out and transferred carefully into the butyrometer
without allowing it to mix with the acid.
1ml of the amyl alcohol was taken in the butyrometer.
The stopper was tightened and then mixed by shaking.
It was kept for 5min in water bath at 65 ˚C +2 ˚C in order to fully dissolve the casein
particles.
It was then centrifuged in Gerber centrifuge at 1100 rpm for 4-5mins and again kept in
water bath for 5mins.
Observed for the clear fat layer in the label of the butyrometer.

6.2. Determination of Acidity of the milk
Principle
The amount of acid developed in the milk is expressed as % of lactic acid. Milk have pH 6.8-
7.2 but the presence of LAB converts lactose into Lactic acid and thus acidity develops.
Procedure
1. 10 milk is taken through the pippete and poured in the beaker
2. 1-3 drops of phenolphthalein is added
3. It is titrated against 0.1 N NaoH.
It is the amount of solid remained after fat removal. Higher the concentration of
lactose higher will be the corrected lactometer reading(CLR) and higher will be
the SNF.
SNF= (CLR reading + Fat + 2 )/4
Principle
Free fatty acids are readily soluble in rectified spirit or absolute alcohol. A suitable amount of
oil is therefore mixed with neutralized rectified spirit to extract free fatty acids and the amount
of the latter calculated by titrating with standard NaOH or KOH using phenolphthalein
indicator. To facilitate extraction,the mixture may be warmed to about 70°C and swirled
vigorously.
Procedure
1. Weigh about 5gm of sample in conocal flask.
2. Add 50ml neutral alcohol
3. Add 2-3 drop phenolpthalein indiicator
4. Swirl the contents and place flask on the hot plate.
5. Warm the mixture to about 70°C and swirl well.
20
6. Titrate with 0.1N NaOH to persistant pink color.
Calculation
21
In line quality control:
1. Standard milk production line
Milk samples are sent to lab and are inspected for fat content, acidity and SNF to
meet the standards.
During filling weight of milk pouches are continuously observed and machines are
adjusted according to requirement.
Pouches are also examined for proper sealing and leakages.
Pasteurization and cooling time, temperature are checked frequently.
Pipelines, vats and tanks are cleaned in place (CIP) after processing each lot.
Records are kept for each parameters.
Over and under filling of ghee packets and their proper sealing are checked.
22
8. Storage
Storage condition
During milking microorganism can enter the milk through skin of the teats which are
often contaminated by dungs, soil, dust, flakes of skin, hairs, etc. Several types of
microorganism can contaminate the milk like coliforms, faecal Streptococci, other
intestinal bacteria, spores and yeasts and molds.
23
b. Soil,manure and dust;
All these contaminants can reach the milk and increase the counts.Moreover,the spores of
bacteria,yeasts and molds also occur in air.
The other sources of contamination includes tanker, trucks, transfer pipes, sampling utensils,
equipment at the milk plant and other milk products processing plants. Pipelines, vats, tanks,
pumps, valve, separator, clarifier, homogenizer, cooler.
Stirrers and filler may serve as main possible sources for bacteria. The level of contamination
from each of these sources depends on cleaning and sanitizing methods.in addition, the
employees, particularly their hands and arms, are the possible sources of contamination and
pathogens. The packaging materials are also the main sources of contamination. The methods
of production, handling,
Storage and manufacture are also main sources of contamination.
d. Water used:
Tap water and surface water also contain many microorganism, including human pathogens,
and it must not be used for cleaning and rinsing.Pseudomonas, Achromobacter,
Flavobacterium and Alcaligens spp, are often occurred in contaminated water.

3 phase line used.
Frequency : 50Hz
Manufacturer’s name : Neek
25
4.Compressed air
Requirement: clean, oil free, dry, odorless and particularly sterilw uses in dairy plant.
In pneumatically controlled automatic system.
Powering the actuators in some machines such as filling machines.
Emptying product from pipes.
Agitation in storage tank.
Compressed air tools to the workshop.
5. Pumps
6. Homogenizer
In dairies and all the food producing and processing firms, absolute cleanliness is vital.
Because of the versatile composition milk and milk products are excellent media for
microorganisms. So microorganisms may develop if proper cleaning is not achieved during
cleaning of all dairy equipment. So Clean in Place (CIP) program is used. CIP means of
circulation of rinsing water and cleaning solutions through machines and other equipment
interconnected to form a cleaning circuit. The passage of high velocity flow of liquid over the
surfaces of equipment generates a mechanical scoring effect, which dislodges deposits of dirt.

12. Conclusions:
45 days of in plant at NMC Dairy Industry provided me the great opportunity to utilize the
theoretical knowledge gained in totally practical way. During this period I developed the
confidence to work in the food industries in systematic way. It was really such a great
27
pleasure to get linked with the production as well as quality control system inside the
industry. After this training following conclusions were made:-
Quality was maintained
Hygienic condition was maintained
Skilled manpower was maintained
Good disposal of wastage
Well-equipped laboratory
Good packaging material were used which gives good preservation to product.
13. Recommendations:
As in dairy industry hygiene and cleanliness is a key to keep the raw materials and
product clean,safe and quality, Many hygienic condition should be brought in practices:-
Workers handling the products should be provided with gloves and masks as their spit
are directly passed to the products.
CCP(critical control point) should be applied separately in every process that are
hazardous, of every products and control should be done.
Training and information to the workers about different hazards should be conducted.
Temperature reading was found to be not working as it is very important parameter
for quality and volume reading is not found in any of the milk storage tanks which is
creating problems in milk stocks.
Only the trained person and authorized person should be given permission to enter to
QC lab and should be expanded.
Dairy plant consumes large quantity of water for various purposes such as cleaning,
cooling, steam generation and also in processing, which must be of the highest quality,
exceeding the requirements for acceptable drinking water.
The acid value and peroxide value of ghee can be checked for rancidity case.
Coliform, Bacillus cereus and B.subtilis should be checked as they spoil pasteurized
milk by sweet curdling, a bad off flavor,or clumps of fat globules.
The spoilage microorganism in raw milk like coliforms, mesophilic lactic acid
bacteria and psychrotrophsare inactivated by pasteurization but as the heat resistant
28
like Micrococci, some thermophilic Streptococci are not killedit should also be
checked.
In dahi coliform count, yeasts and mold count can be done.
There should be consistency in the weight of milk pouch and other products too.
Mouth pipetting should be avoided
