Publisher: 2016Dissertation note: Commercially synthetic antioxidants like ButylatedHydroxytoluene (BHT),Butylatedhydroxyanisole(BHA), and ascorbic acid were added in cheese as antioxidants. Researches reveal that synthetic antioxidants havehuman health side effects. With increasing food safety demand, the synthetic antioxidant needs to be replaced with natural antioxidants. Rutin is a natural flavonoid, which has antioxidant and antimicrobial activity and can be used as natural antioxidant to reduce lipolysis and decrease microbial load.
Rutinin combination with BHT in various concentrations was added as an antioxidant and antimicrobial agent in Cheddar Cheese to reduce lipolysis and microbial load in Cheddar Cheese.
Total no. of treatments (n=7) of cheddar cheese were prepared and analyzed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Rutin in combination with BHT. Each treatment was done in replicates. Cheddar cheese was ripened for three months at 8ᵒC. During ripening different types of tests i.e., antioxidant (includes Total phenolic contents, Antioxidant activity in linoleic acid, Anisidine value, Peroxide value, Thiobarbituric acid value, Free Fatty Acid value), antimicrobial (includes Total plate count, Yeast and mould count, Antimicrobial test for S. aureus and E. coli.) were performedat 0, 30, 60 and 90 days of ripening. Sensory evaluation was performed by a penal of five semi trained panel of judges, samples were evaluated for color, taste, flavor and overall acceptability at 0, 30, 60 and 90 days of ripening.
Total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity in linoleic acid tend to increase with increasing antioxidants concentrations from T1 to T5. In current study T5 showed slightly more antioxidant capacity than positive control. On the other hand, TPC and AA tend to decrease during storage time from 0 to 90 days which shows that the phenols contents are being utilized during the time to stop free radicles to produce.
Anisidine test is used as a chemical indicator of lipid oxidation and to measure the secondary lipid oxidation. In current findings anisidine value increased significantly (p < 0.05) in all treatments from 0 to 90 days storage.
In current findings antioxidant activity of the rutin in combination with BHT has no effect on free fatty acid value. But free fatty acid value increase during the time 0 to 90 days due to moisture present in the samples. In current study Peroxide value increased during storage. PV was highest for negative control. T5 had low peroxide value and positive control showed lowest PV.
In sensory evaluation color of all the experimental cheddar cheese treated with rutinin combination with BHT and controls were not different from each other (P>0.05).The result showed that increasing rutinin combination with BHT concentration had no effect on the color at storage from 0 to 90 days.In current study taste scores of all the treatments having different concentration of rutinin combination with BHT showed the decreasing trend with storage from 0 to 90 days. Lower sensory score of T5 is maybe because of the high phenolic content in it. T4 has good sensory score and good antioxidant and antimicrobial capacity. Thus, it is concluded that T4 is the best combination of Rutin in combination with BHT in it. Addition of Rutin in combination with BHT increased the total phenolic content and Antioxidant Activity of Cheddar Cheese.It also has significant results for Total plate count and Yeast and mold count. This indicates that Rutin in combination with BHT has the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential in Cheddar Cheese.

which shows that the phenols contents are being utilized during storage time to stop free radicals to produce.
Anisidine test is used as a chemical indicator of lipid oxidation and to measure the secondary lipid oxidation. Anisidine value increased significantly (p < 0.05) in all treatments from 0 to 90 days storage.
Antioxidant activity of the rutin has no effect on free fatty acid value. But free fatty acid value increase during the time 0 to 90 days due to moisture present in the samples.
In current study per oxide value increased during storage. PV was highest for negative control. Per oxide value and positive control showed lowest PV. PV value decreases with increasing rutin concentration.
In microbial test antimicrobial potential of rutin was evaluated. Total plate count, yeast and mold count showed the significant (p <0.05) during storage of 90 days. While increasing rutin concentration showed the significant reduction the total plate count and yeast and mold count.
In sensory evaluation color of all the experimental cheddar cheese treated with rutin and controls were not different from each other (P>0.05).The result showed that increasing rutin concentration had no effect on the color at storage from 0 to 90 days. Antimicrobial potential of rutin against E.coli and S.aureus showed the non significant (p > 0.05).
In current study sensory scores of all the treatments having different concentration of rutin showed the decreasing trend with storage from 0 to 90 days. The change in the taste of all the treated cheddar cheese showed the significant (p < 0.05) declining trend, this could be due to the change in the chemical composition of the cheese during storage.

Conclusion
The study showed successful incorporation of various concentration of rutin in cheddar cheese as natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent. All the treatments showed decreased rate of lipid oxidation. Study showed that rutin increased the total antioxidant activity and total phenol in cheddar during 90 days of storage. Oxidative storage stability of rutin in cheddar cheese was evaluated by TBAR, Anisidine value, FFA, Peroxide value. Antimicrobial potential of rutin was also evaluated by total plate count and yeast and mold count. The results showed that increasing rutin concentration significantly reduced the TBA, FFA, PV,Anisidine Value and microbial load. This could be due to the phenoilic and phytochemical properties of rutin. Incorporation of rutin in cheddar cheese improved the antioxidant activity and storage stability of cheese and can be served commercially as a natural preservative in other cheese as well.
Recommendations
Increasing rutin concentration increased the antioxidant activity, total phenol and linoleic activity in cheddar cheese.
Oxidative/storage stability of cheddar cheese can be increased by increasing rutin concentration.
T4 with 80ppm of rutin is the best among all the treatments.
Rutin can be used as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent industrially in other variety of cheeses. Availability: Items available for loan: UVAS Library [Call number: 2735-T] (1).

Publisher: 2017Dissertation note: Milk is the rich source of all nutrients when compared with other food items. Milk
procurement, collection and marketing system in Pakistan is quite old and informal markets
always involve milk sale through unregulated channels. Due to the large numbers of
uneducated and non-technical smallholding farmers, milk handling processes in the
traditional system are extremely unhygienic and there is insufficient enforcement of
standards, resulting in adulteration and at the end poor quality products. Adulterated milk is
selling in Sahiwal region and this study helped to identify milk adulteration in milk supply
chain during milk collection, transportation and selling at shops.
This comparative study has two phases. In first phase, total 80 milk samples were
collected from farmers in rural areas of Sahiwal region. All samples were analyzed to detect
adulterants (Starch, Urea, Hydrogen peroxide, Detergent/Soap, Sorbitol, Boric Acid, Cane
Sugar, Sodium Chloride, Carbonates, Formalin, QAC and Hypochlorite) in raw milk
produced by local farmers. In the second phase, total 60 milk samples were collected from
different shops located in urban areas of Sahiwal region. All samples were analyzed to detect
adulterants (Starch, Urea, H2O2, Detergent/Soap, Sorbitol, Boric Acid, Cane Sugar, Sodium
Chloride, Carbonates, Formalin, QAC and Hypochlorite) in raw milk sold in urban areas of
the region. All milk adulteration tests were performed by using University of Veterinary and
Animal Sciences (UVAS), Quality Operation Laboratory (QOL), Milk Adulteration Testing
(MAT) kit.
Summary

The aim of this study was to identify sources of adulteration in raw milk collected
from rural farmers and sold at shops in urban areas of Sahiwal region.
Total 140 milk samples were collected both from rural and urban areas of Sahiwal
region. 18 (13%) milk samples out of 140 were found adulterated both from urban and rural
locations of Sahiwal region. Sixty (60) milk samples were collected from urban locations of
Sahiwal for detection of adulterants. Total 12 (20%) out of 60 samples were found
adulterated in urban locations. 80 milk samples were collected from rural locations of
Sahiwal region for detection of adulterants 6 (7.5%) out of 80 samples were found
adulterated in rural locations.
Milk adulterants were detected in both rural and urban locations of Sahiwal region.
These adulterants were present in milk samples collected from Sahiwal region urea, formalin,
sugar cane, starch, detergent, sorbitol and carbonates. Boric acid, H2O2, quaternary
ammonium compounds, hypochlorite and sodium chloride were not detected both in urban
and rural locations of Sahiwal.
The conclusion of this comparative study is that milk adulteration is higher in urban
locations (20%) of Sahiwal as compared to rural location (7.5%) of Sahiwal region. This
study also shows the district wise milk adulteration in all three districts of Sahiwal region that
are 10%, 11% & 17 % in Sahiwal, Pakpattan & Okara districts respectively. Availability: Items available for loan: UVAS Library [Call number: 2897-T] (1).
