COLLEGE OF FOOD AND DAIRY TECHNOLOGY, ALAMATHI - KODUVALLI

DAIRY FOOD QUALITY CONTROL LABORATORY (DFQCL)

Objectives

  • To analyse milk and milk products for its nutritional content.
  • To assess the physio-chemical properties of foods of Dairy origin.
  • To enumerate differential count of microbial load in processed Dairy products.
  • To find out any adulterant in milk based food stuffs.
  • To assess the safety of Dairy foods in forms of residues of chemical derivatives.
  • To issue food testing lab report on the above quality parameters for various trading activities and licensing procedures from food regulatory agencies.

Available Facilities

DFQCL is an ambitious project of CFDT under the ambit of TANUVAS to extend the facilities and expertise available with higher learning organization. The facility would meet out the immediate requirements of food processing industries in accomplishment of manufacturing units at a nominal cost. The lab is equipped with scientific machineries to screen the samples for assessment of its quality in terms of nutritional and storage stability of Dairy food products. Dairy chemists and Dairy microbiologists would critically analyse the products for its microbial load during various stages of raw milk handling up to reaching the Consumers, Producers, Processors, Packers and Promotional activities involved in food value chain.

Major Activities

  • Detection of various preservatives, neutralizers and adulterants.
  • Study of physico chemical properties.
  • Identification of phytochemicals.
  • Identification of contaminants.
  • Estimation of proximate principles.
  • Quality of Milk and Milk Products.
  • Quality of water.
  • Estimation of macro and micro nutrients.
  • Quantification of fat and water soluble vitamins.
  • Physio – Chemical analysis of meat and meat products
