Abstract: The study has been conducted in one of the reputed milk Processing plant, Nanded. Over the study period from June 2017 to May 2018. The quality of the milk samples checked for the difference in the microbial load in the pasteurized milk sample for different microbial load and finding out variations in methylene blue reduction time in MBRT test. The anticipating quality assessment and finding out contamination after pasteurization during morning distribution at cold storage temperature. The observation was the rate of reduction time in MBRT the colour variation of the pasteurized milk in the average range of 5.3 hrs. to 5.9 hrs.
