DEVELOPMENT OF MILK PROTEIN BASED COMPOSITE EDIBLE COATINGS AND ITS APPLICATION ON PANEER

 PROJECT NAME :

DEVELOPMENT OF MILK PROTEIN BASED COMPOSITE EDIBLE COATINGS AND ITS APPLICATION ON PANEER

Attempts were made to develop composite milk protein based edible coating using whey protein concentrate and Sodium Caseinate as protein source. 

Negative results were observed during storage study of coated paneer when WPC based edible coating solution was applied. Sodium Caseinate based edible coating solution with CMC as carbohydrate source, bees wax as a lipid source, Tween 20 as emulsifier and Glycerol plasticizer showed edible coating film formation ability. 

The best coating solution when coated on the Paneer showed contradictory results on the moisture loss of the Paneer. The moisture loss in the coated sample was higher as compared to control. Also negative results were observed in the textural attributes of the coated Paneer. Hence further investigation is required in development of composition with application of Statistical Design.
