Though the mineral constituents normally represent less than 1 per cent, of cow's milk their importance in many dairying problems is well realised. For example, the calcium-magnesium-phosphate-citrate balance is a most important factor in connection with coagulation by heat and in the alcohol test, even minute alterations in the balance producing a very marked effect.

SummaryThe effect of subclinical mastitis on the citric acid concentration of cow's milk was studied by comparing milk from the mastitic quarter with that from a healthy quarter of the same udder. Forty-two pairs of fore-milk from the morning milking of 17 cows were examined and the citric acid content was measured by an automated carboxylic acid analyzer. The citric acid concentration decreased in subclinical mastitic milk and the extent of decrease was proportional to the degree of mastitis as expressed by the quarter difference value in concentration of Na+Cl in mm/1, i.e. the increase in the Na and Cl concentrations in the abnormal milk over that found in normal milk from the same udder. The correlation coefficient between the quarter difference value of Na+Cl and the value for citric acid was –0·77, (d.f. = 46, P <0·001) and a linear regression equation was obtained. The result showed clearly that subclinical mastitis is one of the causes of variation in the citric acid content of cow's milk. The quantitative change in citric acid concentration in subclinical mastitic milk is discussed with reference to the admixture theory for the formation of abnormal milk.

1. 670 samples of the mixed milk from 15 herds were analysed, and the average percentages of total ash, soluble ash, insoluble ash, lime and phosphoric acid are given.2. Tables showing frequency distributions are also given, with the standard deviation, mean and probable error of mean for each constituent determined.3. Various correlations of these constituents with solids not fat and protein have been prepared, and these correlations are illustrated by graphs.It is observed that the total ash falls with the solids not fat until low values of solids not fat are reached, when the ash content appears to rise. This variation is confirmed by a curve illustrating the variation in ash content of samples of individual cow’s milk. Soluble ash rises as the solids not fat falls, but the insoluble ash shows a reverse variation. Lime and phosphoric acid both fall with the solids not fat.

The "folic acid" content of cow's milk, as listed in the report of the Committee on Nutrition (Pediatrics, 31:329, 1963) is probably too low, as pointed out by Drs. Naiman and Oski. We would agree that these figures should be withdrawn until a more accurate assessment can be made. We are, however, less certain than they appear to be, that the L. casei assay, ascorbate-protected, will provide the information desired, i.e., the true total folate content of foodstuff biologically available to the human. For an understanding of the present situation, it is necessary to review briefly certain pertinent developments in this field.
