Abstract

Sorption studies carried out at relative humidities (RH) ranging from 11 to 86% on Kheer ready-mixes based on 30% roasted wheat semolina (Bansi or white soji), 30% powdered sugar and 40% whole milk powder, indicated that an equilibrium moisture content (EMC)of 5.7-5.8% at 44% RH was critical, beyond which sogginess and lump formation were observed. The ready-mixes, when packed in polypropylene (200 gauge) and metallized polyester/poly pouches, kept well for (i) 120 and 150 days respectively at 65% RH and 27°C,and (ii) 46 days at 92% RH and 38°C.
