The present study was carried out in the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science at Dr. PDKV, Akola, to utilise nutrient-rich paneer whey by incorporating aonla juice to develop a value-added product—paneer Whey beverage. The beverage was formulated using various combinations of paneer whey and aonla juice as follows: T₁ - 100% paneer whey + 0% aonla juice, T₂ - 98% paneer whey + 2% aonla juice, T₃ - 96% paneer whey + 4% aonla juice, T₄ - 94% paneer whey + 6% aonla juice, and T₅ - 92% paneer whey + 8% aonla juice. Chemical analysis revealed that with increasing levels of aonla juice, there was a rise in fat, protein, total solids, solid-not-fat, and acidity, while moisture content showed a decreasing trend.
