Some areas of Indian dairy industry can be strengthened by the induction
of specialized technologies and equipment from overseas. These include:
 | Raw milk handling: It needs to be
upgraded in terms of physico-chemical and microbiological attributes of the milk
collected. The use of clarification and bactofugation in raw milk
processing can help improve quality of the milk products. |
| Milk processing: Better operational
efficiencies are needed to improve yields and reduce wastage, minimize fat/protein losses
during processing, control production costs, save energy and extend shelf life. The adoption of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and HACCP (Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Points) would help manufacture milk products conforming to
international standards. |
| Packaging: Another area is the range
of packing
machines for butter, cheese and the like. Better
packaging can help retain nutritive value of products packed and extend shelf life.
A cold chain distribution system is needed for proper storage and transportation of dairy
products. |
| Value-added products: There's immense
scope for value-added products like desserts, puddings, custards, sauces, mousse, stirred
yoghurt, nectars and sherbets. |
In this 21st Century, the Indian dairy industry
has set its goal to better manage its national resources for enhancing
milk production and upgrading milk processing through newer technologies.
Multinational dairy giants can carve a niche for themselves in this
challenging task — a win-win situation that can be won!
