Ice-cream or Frozen desert. Are we being cheated ?

CURRENT SCENARIO

We, the people of INDIA are very less aware about the Dairy Sector. For us it is only confined to the milkman who gives us milk and the seller who supplies us dahi, ghee, butter,ice-cream.
And just because of our this little knowledge, the one who have more are able to cheat on us by providing a low quality product at such a high price of the product with superior quality.
When talking about Ice-cream, the first thing that comes to our mind is one of the delicious, mouth cooling, taste enhancer or the party ending dish which is being preferred in summers. Now-a-days many manufacturers compromise with the raw materials and gives us a low quality product at the price of the Ice- cream and the sufferer is the consumer.
When you see the picture on the carton, you would think it is any ordinary ice cream. Only when you turn it around to look for a title, you see a much smaller font there, and it says - Frozen Dessert.

The LAW says :-

According to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India,
  • Ice cream, kulfi or softy ice cream means that the product is obtained by freezing a pasteurized mix, prepared from milk and /or other products derived from milk with or without the addition of nutritive sweetening agents, fruit and fruit products, eggs, etc.
  • Frozen dessert means the product obtained by freezing a pasteurized mix prepared with milk fat and/or edible vegitable oils and fat having a melting point of not more than 37.0 degree C in combination and milk protein alone or in combination/or vegetable protein products singly or in combination with the addition of nutritive sweetening agents.
So from now being an educated consumer we would be buying by differentiating the product and looking into the Ingredients of the product and preventing us from being cheated on the name of Ice-cream.

DENGUE and Goat milk!! Why so?

When we hear someone suffering from DENGUE, we or the doctors give an advice that you MUST drink GOAT milk. What is there in Goat milk that helps the patient recover faster? Why isn't any medicine made till now  from goat's milk? Is there any chemical or what, which makes the recovery faster? Well,  no evidence is related to its use in increasing the platelet count, but the only reason is that  The GOAT milk is light and Easy to digest and thus helpful in the disease when the patient finds it difficult to drink or eat things which takes time to digest. Conclusion :- Thus the conclusion is that, a person suffering from any disease and doesn't like to eat. Then he/she can be fed with the Goat's milk for proper malfunctioning of the human body.

Why does Mozzarella Cheese stretch?????

Mozzarella cheese was originally manufactured from high fat Buffalo m ilk in Italy, but it is now made all over Italy, in all European countries and USA from  Cow milk It belongs to the cheese classified as 'Pasta- filata' which involves the principle of skillfully stretching the curd in hot water to get a smooth texture and grains in cheese. It is a soft, white, unripened cheese which may be consumed shortly after its manufacture. Its melting and stretching characteristics are highly appreciated in the manufacture of PIZZA, where it is a key ingredient. Shelf life of this cheese is at most 2 weeks. This cheese gives good gritting/ shredding quality.  Milling acidity for Mozzarella cheese is about 0.7%L.A. . Stretching in this cheese is because the di calcium para-caseinate breaks into mono calcium para-caseinate, and this happens because the ph is brought at about 5.6 . It is made either by traditional method or by Direct acid coagulation.
