Comparison of a Few Raw and Pasteurized Milk Samples from Minor Milch Animals in the Palpa Area

Abstract

Milk is a whitish liquid that mammals secrete and is a vital source of sustenance for a newborn baby. Milk contains vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids, milk sugar, and other nutrients. After 28th days of pregnancy, the physico-chemical characteristics of raw milk (RaM) and pasteurized milk (PaM) from some female milch animals, such as goats, cows, buffalo, and humans, in the Palpa area were compared. The pH, water content, fat, milk sugar, and chloride levels of the RaM and PaM samples from goats (GM), cows (CM), buffaloes (BM), and humans (HM) varied, according to the documented parametric analysis. Standard United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requirements were met by all tested physico-chemical parameters, with PaM exhibiting better qualities than RaM. Water content is decreased but other parameters are increased when RaM is pasteurized to obtain PaM. Infants respond better to PaM samples than RaM samples. The community will be able to properly use pasteurised milk instead of raw milk thanks to this study.
