Traditional Indian dairy products have wide variability in compositions due to methods of preparation, locality and preference for typical characteristics of products. This leads to wide variations in microstructures of the products. Khoa is an important traditional dairy product obtained by partial dehydration of milk. Khoa has interstitial spaces between the granules that fill with viscous liquid. Burfi and kalakand are sweet products prepared from khoa. They have a spongy 3-D structure. Kalakand has a more distinct cooked flavor, greasy or moist body and grainy texture as compared to burfi. Kheer, is a cereal based dessert containing rice, milk and sugar as major ingredients. Chhana is a heat-acid coagulated product having a conglomerated, compact protein matrix with numerous small, uniformly distributed pores. Rasogolla prepared from chhana showed the thick threaded protein bodies interspersed with numerous voids. Shrikhand, a fermented dairy product, consists of crystallites of milk fats and aggregates of colloidal casein micelles. There are a number of other traditional dairy products, but the microstructure of these products have not yet been studied and/or information on these aspects are scattered and not well documented.
