Description :
Khoa is dehydrated whole milk product. It is traditionally prepared and marketed in Bhandara district. Total 60
samples of khoa collected from four different sources of Bhandara district. In present study sensory quality of such
traditionally prepared khoa was determined by sensory evaluation for different sensory attributes by using 100
point scored card comprising of flavour (45), Body & texture (35) and colour and appearance (20) and organoleptic
evaluation for overall acceptability by a 9 point hedonic scale was developed. Result shows that the overall sensory
quality score of east, west, north and south region khao were 80.67, 86.37, 87.23 and 81.23 out of 100
respectively, however total score of overall acceptability of khoa samples of north region khoa was found
significantly more than other region khoa samples. So sensory quality of north region was good than east, west
and south region khoa which were fair in quality.
