Author: Bohra R.C.& Jaipuriar V.S.
Fat Rich Dairy Products presents a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the science, technology, and commercial significance of dairy products characterized by high fat content, such as butter, ghee, cream, and various types of specialty cheeses. The book is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the composition, processing, quality attributes, and nutritional aspects of these products, which hold an important place in both traditional diets and modern food industries. As consumer demand continues to evolve toward premium, flavorful, and energy-dense dairy products, the need for scientific knowledge and technological expertise in their production has become increasingly important. This text addresses that need by integrating fundamental dairy science with advanced processing techniques and industry practices. The book begins by introducing the basic composition of milk, with particular emphasis on milk fat, its structure, properties, and behavior during processing. It explains how variations in fat content influence the texture, taste, stability, and overall quality of dairy products. Through a clear and systematic approach, the text explores the principles of cream separation, fat standardization, and the role of emulsions in dairy systems. These foundational concepts enable readers to understand the transformation of raw milk into a wide range of fat-rich products through controlled processing methods.
