Abstract

To assess the quality of sweetened condensed milk of Bangladesh, four different brands of sweetened condensed milk were selected viz. Danish, Fresh milk, Star ship and Goalini. Five samples were analyzed for physical (organoleptic), chemical and microbiological qualities. From the physical test, it was observed that all samples were in good grade i.e. fresh, free from odour, viscous and smooth, rich cream to yellow in color and very sweet in taste .The average physical score was 88.20±4.15, 86.20±3.90, 89.20±3.90 and 87.60±5.55 for Danish, Fresh milk, Starship and Goalini, respectively, and these were not differ significantly (p>0.05). Sweetened condensed milk had a titrable acidity of 0.146 to 0.155 % and fat 78.40 to 78.80 (g/kg) that were not significant (p>0.05) for all brand of milk. Whereas significant (p<0.05 to p<0.01) difference was found for protein (g/kg) 75.50±0.02, 67.84±0.23, 78.54±0.07 and 74.04±0.13; ash (g/kg) 15.00±0.07, 16.60±0.06, 17.02±0.04, carbohydrate (g/kg) 550.76±0.38, 544.16±0.69, 553.58±0.034 and 545.70±0.46 and Total solids (g/kg) 720.86±0.60, 706.35±0.53, 727.14±0.52 and 715.84±0.52 for Danish, fresh milk, Starship and Goalini respectively. The total viable count was in the range of 13.60+2.51 and 16.60±2.41(102/g) and no. coliform bacteria were found. Among the brands no difference was found in physical test, but considering chemical properties star-ship was better than others.
