Abstract: In all 75 samples of paneer were examined during the course of investigation which were collected from different regions viz., central, east, west, north and south region. From each region, 15 samples were collected and analyzed during three fortnight. These paneer samples were collected by adopting stratified randomization technique and analyzed them for their physico-chemical quality in Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science Section, college of Agriculture, Nagpur during year 2017-2018. Chemical quality was analyzed in laboratory by legal method prescribed in ISI Hand book. Central, east, west, north and south region paneer samples contained on an average moisture 54.49, 51.32, 52.56, 50.33 and 52.79 per cent, fat 22.81, 26.40, 24.13, 27.17 and 24.40 per cent, protein 19.41, 17.91 18.59, 16.73 and 17.89 per cent, ash 1.81, 2.02, 1.88, 1.87 and 1.84 per cent, total solids 45.51, 48.68, 47.44, 50.67 and 47.21 per cent, respectively. During present study, it was found that paneer marketed in east region had better physico-chemical qualities than central, west, north and south paneer, which were fair but full fill standards of FSSAI (2006).
