Abstract

The experiment was conducted to compare the quality of rasomalai manufactured from cow milk and buffalo milk, two types of rasomalai were prepared named as- A (cow milk) and B (buffalo milk). The qualities of prepared rasomalai were evaluated physically, chemically and microbiologically. It was found that flavor, body and texture, color and appearance and total score of A and B type samples differed significantly (P<0.01) and taste score non-significantly (P>0.05). The total solids, protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate content of A and B were 461.10±6.45 and 540.17±3.77; 61.67±1.20 and 84.00±1.15; 75.33±3.18 and 125.67±3.48; 9.13±0.09 and 12.50±0.12 and 314.97±4.53 and 318.00±1.53 g/kg, respectively. All of them varied significantly (P<0.01) except carbohydrate (P>0.05). The acidity of α and β were 0.21±0.00 and 0.19±0.003 per cent, respectively and showed significant difference (P<0.01). Total viable count of A and B type samples were non-significantly (P>0.05) different and the values were 3.84±0.05 and 3.77±0.07 log cfu/g. The Coliform was absent both in A and B type sample. Buffalo milk rasomalai earns extra profit of Tk. 35/kg than the cow milk rasomalai. Physical examination revealed that type A was better than type B but the chemical and microbiological findings and also the pricing of rasomalai showed that buffalo milk rasomalai was superior to cow milk rasomalai.
