Dairy Chemistry

About Department:

Since 2016, the Department of Dairy Chemistry in College of Dairy Science and Technology is responsible for the teaching of various courses related to Dairy Chemistry, Food Chemistry and Quality Assurance at Under Graduate level. The postgraduate programme i.e., M.Tech. in Dairy Chemistry has been started from the academic year 2020-21. The department also handles research projects related to the subject matter and participates in the extension activities. The department has a fully equipped undergraduate and postgraduate research laboratory for quality analysis of milk and milk products. Presently, broad area of research undertaken in the department is the antibiotic residues in milk and milk products. The department so far has developed and validated the HPLC method for detection of antibiotic residues in Dahi and Khoa. Apart from that, screening of milk for various adulterants viz., water, neutralizers, preservatives, glucose, sucrose, urea etc. is also being carried out in the department.
