Paneer, also known as Cottage cheese, holds a significant place in Indian cuisine, cherished for its versatility and taste. As its popularity continues to soar, particularly in India and across the Asia Pacific region, the demand for paneer is witnessing a steady rise of 10-12% annually. This surge is attributed to shifting food preferences, increased vegetarianism, and the ease of access to raw materials like milk.
At 3i Tech Engineers, we recognize the burgeoning potential of paneer production and aim to facilitate its manufacturing process for entrepreneurs, both new and established in the dairy industry.
Paneer Manufacturing Process Simplified:
Traditionally crafted from cow and buffalo milk, paneer’s production typically favors buffalo milk due to its higher solid content, yielding a superior final product. Our streamlined manufacturing process involves:
- Standardization: Milk is heated to 90°C and then cooled to 76°C to initiate coagulation.
- Coagulation and Straining: The coagulated milk is poured over a muslin cloth to separate the coagulum from whey.
- Pressing and Shaping: The coagulum is lightly pressed to form paneer blocks, which are then submerged in cold water for firmness.
- Packaging: Vacuum sealing ensures freshness and longevity before the paneer is ready for distribution.
