The market for traditional dairy products in India exceeds $10bn and
is the fastest growing sector of the Indian dairy industry. For example,
consumption of 'dahi' traditional plain yogurt exceeds 5m tonnes a
year, 50-times the total consumption of yogurt in the US. There is
also a flourishing and growing market for for Indian ethnic milk products
overseas. In north America alone, its value is estimated at $500m,
mainly among the 4m south Asian residents. In Canada, a dairy farm
co-operative has recently set up a pilot plant in New Brunswick for
the production of traditional Indian milk delicacies. Some
20yrs ago, for the first time, a leading Indian dairy company began
producing traditional handmade Indian milk-based sweets and desserts
on an industrial scale. The project has been a huge success and products
are now being exported. India's experience
in mechanising the production of these dairy products is detailed
in a massive new publication from 'Dairy India' called Technology
of Indian Milk Products which explores the scope for the large-scale
manufacture of ethnic dairy products and it highlights opportunities
for investment prospects in emerging markets.
In this first book of its kind, a multidisciplinary
approach is used to provide detailed technical information
supported with 60 process flow charts and engineering drawings. The
book also provides an update on India's vast dairy market, the world's
largest, valued at $22bn, with wide-ranging analysis of the demand
and supply situation.
This publication comes at a time when there is a growing international
search for exotic new dairy products, one source of which may well
be in the wide range ethnic specialities.
This handbook, specifically designed for dairy and food professionals,
provides key basic data on the chemistry and functional properties
of milk needed for producing these specialised products, problem-solving
tips, processing characteristics and product specification. The
book places a lot of emphasis on project design, equipment specifications
and plant layouts for the design of projects for the industrial
manufacture of these products and consumption market data to cater
to local preferences.

| Technical advances in
the production of dairy foods are creating new economic opportunities
for a range of agri-business enterprises to expand avenues for
enhanced income in India. These exciting developments have triggered
a revolution that is transforming the socio-economic life of
millions. Their relevance can be extended to other countries
of South Asia and perhaps to a large extent to other third world
countries with a strong base for traditional milk products. |
