APS NOIDA organized an Educational Trip to Mother Diary for students of
class XII on 15 May 2023. This field trip was part of the CBSE projects to be
undertaken by the students. To understand the testing of milk for adulteration.
To evaluate the phases of mother dairy products’ procurement, processing and
delivery. To gauge the various levels of quality checks on milk and milk
products. The students had the unique honour of witnessing and getting to know
the fascinating and precise journey of milk from the dairy farmers to the
consumer’s house. On entering the premises, they were impressed with the
environmentally friendly landscape and were welcomed with some delicious
vanilla milk. That was followed by an informative session regarding the various
complexities of the milk production process. This involved various processes
such as homogenization, clarification, and pasteurization. They were also
thoroughly informed about the various constituents, enzymes etc. present in
milk. They also learned a lot about the
management of the factory and how the principles of management were being
followed there and all their doubts regarding the same were clarified. What
proceeded next was an extremely interactive Q/A session where all their doubts
regarding storage, production quality and testing were dealt with. Saving the
best for the last they even got to witness a few tests regarding the testing of
the quality of milk to see if any adulteration had taken place. They saw
various tests regarding the addition of salt, urea and sodium carbonate/ sodium
bicarbonate in the milk. All in all, it was an extremely enriching and
unforgettable experience for the students of APS NOIDA.
