Abstract

Kalakand is a milk sweet prepared by blending cane sugar with khoa-a heat desiccated milk product. It is characterized by grainy texture and caramelized flavour. Kalakand has a slightly longer shelf-life as compared to khoa owing to its sugar content. Addition of preservatives like potassium sorbate, nisin, sodium and potassium metabisulphite have been found to be useful in extending the shelf-life of khoa. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of addition of nisin (PI) and potassium metabisulphite (P2) on the shelf-life of kalakand during storage,
