Question

Give the legal standards of double toned milk and standardized milk.

Answer 1

Hi   Double toned milk (DTM) is made from cow and/or buffalo milk by adding fresh skim milk or a mixture of water and skim milk powder and/or by removing fat by partial separation, or by doing both.  Standardization of milk refers to the adjustment which means rising or lowering of fat and solids not fat levels of milk. The standardization of milk is commonly done in case of market milk supply and also in case of manufacture of milk products. e.g. condensed milk, milk powder, ice-cream and cheese etc. the standardization is mostly done to have a uniform milk fat content in the finished dairy product.
