‘‘A tool that protects and contains our goods with the aim of minimizing the environmental impact on our consumption.” “A technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use.” WHAT IS PACKAGING 9/29/2016 7
At early stages-cow's udder was the basic container. Development of containers in 1860-70 for distribution. These were metal cans of up to about 80L First significant development in milk packaging- process for sterilized milk ( end of last century) In the third decade of this century- bottling of pasteurized milk developed Development and introduction of plastic materials for packaging in the dairy industry (initially polyethylene) in 1940.

PRESENT STATUS AND SCOPE OF MILK PACKAGING 9/29/2016 11
In 1995, money spent on packaging materials nearly Rs. 29,000 million. Packaging activities engage about 60% of the 5 million labour force in the food industry. 46 % of the total milk production in the country consumed as fluid milk Only 15% of milk is packed. Of this, the flexible pouch accounts for approximately 94 % . 89 % of the households in India consume loose milk Only 9 % households use packaged milk. STATUS IN INDIA 9/29/2016 12
Penetration of packaged milk high amongst towns having a population of more than 10 lakh Production of tinplate containers 0.46 MT Use of tinplate containers for packaging 0.4 MT About 0.3 million tinplate containers are exported Alluminium cans accounts to 0.035 MT The production of glass bottles for packaging 0.9 MT Plastics used in the milk industry in the form of containers as well as films & laminates Contd.. 9/29/2016 13
The glass bottle for milk introduced in USA in 1884 Plastic containers, i.e. single-service HDPE containers were introduced in 1964. Milk also sold in LDPE pouches, but not popular Paperboard industry in USA introduced a new twin pack comprising two-half gallon containers ( Goyal , 1986). PACKAGING TRENDS ABROAD 9/29/2016 14
In German Federal Republic pasteurized milk packaged in cartons. In UK, plastic bottle weighing 23 g was made from a 50/50 blend of high and low density PE. Liquid milk in Berlin packed in plastic bags placed in returnable plastic crates. The Rhineland Milk Supply of Germany marketed pasteurized milk in ‘Tetra King’ one litre packs. CONTD.. 9/29/2016 15

LIQUID MILK Flexible pouches 92 %, glass bottles 7% and aseptic packaging 1%. Plastic materials in aseptic packaging of milk product are polyethylene , polypropylene, polystyrene etc. P opular commercial systems available are Tetra pak , Combi block, Pure pak , Hind pak , etc. Economic saving realized 9/29/2016 23
2. CREAM Shelf life of refrigerated creams 1-2 days Packaging consists of PE coated paperboards. In India, cream generally packaged in 250 ml glass bottles, individual pack or consumer’s own container Tin plate containers also used for larger sizes . Whipped creams sold in AEROSOL cans and PE tubs Imitation cream packed in wax-coated paperboard cartons. 9/29/2016 25
3. WHOLE MILK POWDER Produced either by roller or drum process. Rapid flavour deterioration due to oxidation. General procedure is to remove oxygen by subjecting the product to vacuum within 24 hours of drying. Less than 2% final oxygen considered satisfactory. Coating with an impermeable material or the addition of antioxidants also done. 9/29/2016 27
Upon prolonged storage, ghee undergoes lipid deterioration. Tin plate container: Protects the product against tampering and being sturdy, can be transported to distant places. Semi Rigid Containers: Provides a moderately long shelf life, lightweight , economical and transport-worthy. Flexible Films/Pouches: Limited quantities of of less than 1 kg packed. Most economical. 9/29/2016 28 4. GHEE

5. PANEER Short shelf life of about 7 days at refrigeration storage and less than 24 hours at room temperature . Sachdeva et al .(1991) vacuum packaged paneer blocks of 10x4x6 cm size in polyethylene bags using a vacuum packaging machine. The body and texture of paneer improves on vacuum packaging No deterioration observed upto 30 days at 6 ±10 °C in vacuum VACUUM PACKAGED PANEER FROZEN PANEER CUBES 9/29/2016 30
6. KHOA Limited shelf life of 5 days at room temperature Hot filling (80-90° C) of khoa in tin cans increases shelf life to 14 days at 37° C Recently, high barrier structures/laminates based on polyester/ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH)/polythene being developed ( 10 days at 37°C and 60 days at refrigerated ) Tin cans and rigid plastic containers of 15 kg capacity can be used. 9/29/2016 31
MILK SWEETS BURFI AND PEDA Currently , packaged in paper cartons or duplex board boxes with or without butter paper lining. Recently, packaged in HDPE/polypropylene boxes and cartons of 500g and 1 kg size. They observed the shelf life of 52 days at 30 ° C in vacuum packaged samples against 16 days without vacuum packaging PAPER CARTONS POLYPROPYLENE BOXES 9/29/2016 32
b. GULABJAMUN AND RASOGOLLA Rasogolla preserved in sugar syrup, in tin cans of 500 g and 1 kg capacity. Proportion of rasogolla and syrup is 40:60 ( stays good for 6 months ) Gulabjaman largely packaged without syrup in paper cartons or polyester boxes Though lacquered tin can most suitable, it is very expensive. 9/29/2016 33
8. FERMENTED PRODUCTS Dahi , Misti dahi and Shrikhand most popular. Dahi and Misti dahi are sold in earthen pots and PE containers.
