INTRODUCTION

➝Natural milk is an opaque white fluid secreted by

the mammary gland of female mammal. The main
constituents of natural milk are proteins,
carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats and water
and is a complete balanced diet. Fresh milk is
sweetish in taste. However, when it is kept for a
long time at a temperature 35 ± 5°C it becomes sour
because of bacteria present in air. These bacteria
convert lactose of milk into lactic acid which is
sour in taste. In acidic conditions casein of milk
starts separating out as a precipitate. When the
acidity in milk is sufficient and temperature is
around 36°C, it forms semi-solid mass, called curd.

➝ Soya bean milk is made from soyabeans. It

resembles natural milk. The main constituents of
soya bean milk are proteins, carbohydrates, fats
minerals and vitamins. It is prepared by keeping
soyabeans dipped in water for sometimes. The
swollen soyabeans are then crushed to a paste
which is then mixed with water. The solution is
filtered and filtrate is soyabean milk.
Aim:
Preparation of soyabean milk and its comparison with
the Natural milk with respect to curd formation ,
effect of Temperature and taste etc.

Apparatus:
➝Pestle and mortar
➝Glass rod
➝Beaker
➝Thermometer

Chemicals Required
➝Soya bean
➝Buffalo
➝Milk
➝Small amount of curd
➝Muslin cloth
 ➝Taste the curd of each beaker and record your
observation with respect to firmness, thickness,
taste

➝You may also find out the time of curd formation

when the milk is heated to 50°C

Observation:
➝Comparison of sweetness of soya and buffalo’s
milk.
➝Curd formation.

Type Temperature and Quality of Curd ,

of milk Time of formation Thickness and Taste
Buffalo
35°c

Soya 50°c

Conclusion:
➝Buffalo’s milk is sweeter than soya milk; hence
contains higher amount of carbohydrates than soya
milk.
➝Good quality of curd forms in:
(a)buffalo’s milk at (b) soya milk at
