2 CHAPTER - 4 MATERIALS AND METHODS (A) STUDY OF WASTE WATER QUALITY OF MILK PROCESSING UNIT: [1] Collection and preservation of waste water of milk processing unit: Waste water from milk processing unit is discharged through a underground pipe which terminates in to a pit of size 1.44 m deep and 0.49 m diameter. Waste water sample was collected from the surface of the pit, by using a glass bottle of one liter capacity. The bottle was sterilized and then rinsed with waste water before collection. Collections were made at monthly interval between 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, throughout the study period during the year The collected waste water sample was transported to laboratory from field. Ten liters of waste water sample was used for the analysis of physico chemical and biological parameters for the study of water quality, while liters of diluted water sample in ratio 1:1 (waste water and tap water) was used for the cultivation of plants in the field during the period of investigation ( ). Measurement of temperature and fixation of dissolved oxygen was done immediately at sampling site, while analyses of other parameters were carried out in preserved sample within forty eight hours of collection. The preservation of waste water sample was done as prescribed in APHA-AWWA-WPCF (1980). [2] Methods for physico-chemical and biological analysis of waste water of milk processing unit: (a) PHYSICAL PARAMETERS: (1) TEMPERATURE: Temperature of waste water was measured in C with a digital temperature recorder.

25 (C) BIOLOGICAL PARAMETER: (31) ENUMERATION OF MOST PROBABLE NUMBER (MPN): Multiple-Tube Fermentation Test or Most Probable Number (MPN) Test is the most often used technique for the analysis of water. The test was used to detect coli forms. Coli forms are defined as facultative anaerobic, gram-negative, non-sporing, rod shaped bacteria that ferment lactose with the production of acid and gas within 24 hours of incubation at 35ºC. A statistical method estimated the MPN of bacteria present in inoculums which was used to make a dilution series. Several series were made with different initial volumes of inoculums; the results were recorded as a series of positives, i.e. growth in the tube, can then be calculated to give an MPN. The result is the probable number of micro-organisms that would be expected to yield this result. This method was followed by Aneja (2001). Requirements: Media specification: Lactose fermentation broth (LB 1X and LB 2X). Peptone 1.25 gm Lactose 1.25 gm Beef extract 0.75 gm Brilliant green gm Distilled water 250 ml Following media components were used to prepare Lactose Fermentation broth. ph of the media was maintained at 6.9 after sterilization. Collected water sample were labeled as 5 double strength lactose broth tubes 10 and 5 single strength broth tubes 1 another 5 tubes as 0.1. Waste water sample was mixed thoroughly by shaking. Three sets of 5 tubes each containing (LB 2X, LB 1X and LB 1X) were inoculated with 10 ml, 1ml and 0.1 ml of waste water Materials and Methods 40
26 sample using 10 ml,1ml and 0.1ml sterile pipettes. Later all the 15 inoculated tubes were incubated aerobically at 35 ºC for 48 hours. All the lactose fermentation tubes were examined for the production of acids (yellow colour) and gas after 24 & 48 hours of incubation. Production of acid and gas (appearance of a bubble large enough to fill the concavity at the top of the Durham tubes) after 24 hours incubation indicated a positive presumptive test for coli form bacteria. If there was no gas produced after 48 hours of incubation showed negative presumptive test (i.e. coli form absent). A count of number of positive tubes showed production of gas following the incubation period was taken in to consideration for calculation of MPN. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Pearson Correlation analysis was done for all the physico-chemical parameters investigated during the present study. The correlation was determined at P<0.05 & P<0.01 level of significance. P<0.05 is indicated in the table by single * and P<0.01 by double ** mark. (B) UTILIZATION OF WASTE WATER FROM MILK PROCESSING UNIT IN CULTIVATION OF PLANTS: To study the utilization of waste water from milk processing unit in cultivation of plants, an experiment was conducted, in which three selected plants were grown in field irrigated with waste water. Simultaneously control experiment was also set, which was irrigated with tap water. The net primary productivity of all the plants were determined in both the experiment to investigate the utility of waste water in promoting growth of plants. Determination of Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of cultivated plants: The Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of cultivated vegetables Trigonella foenum-graecum L., Spinacea oleracea L., and Coriandrum sativum L was determined by Harvest method. All the three plants were grown in home garden. An area of 1m x1m in triplicate was used each for experiment and the control. Similar kind of garden soil was used for growing plants. In each of the experimental and control field equal number of Materials and Methods 41
27 soaked, uncontaminated & healthy 200 seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. was sown for the period of 30 days while Spinacea oleracea, 40 days and Coriandrum sativum for 45 days in winter. Experimental fields were irrigated with 18 liters of 1:1 waste water: tap water /day, while control fields were irrigated with same quantity of tap water/day. The 200 seeds of each plant was weighed before sowing and this weight was noted as initial biomass. After the 30 days, 40 days and 45 days interval, harvesting was done. Entire plant body was uprooted and washed with tap water. Later it was wrapped in a paper and dried in hot air oven at 105 ºC for 24 hours. Thereafter, it was weighed and recorded as final biomass (Bf). NPP was determined through obtained value of initial biomass, final biomass & number of days of the plant growth with the help of following formula:- Net Primary Productivity (gm m ² day ¹) = Bf - Bi dt Where :- Bf = Final biomass (gm m ²) Bi = Initial biomass (gm m ²) dt = Number of days of cultivation plants. Entire experiment was repeatedly conducted in winter season of year in order to investigate the utility of waste water in cultivation of plants Materials and Methods 42
