SUMMARYOxidized flavour developed in whole milk only through the catalytic effect of either Cu or light. The O2 requirement for the 2 processes differed as did the characteristics of the off-flavours produced. Cu-induced oxidized flavour was described as ‘cardboardy’ and light-induced oxidized flavour was ‘painty’. Light-induced oxidized flavour increased in intensity with O2 loss, and could be prevented in stored milk by restricting access of O2. In UHT milk with a dissolved O2 content of 6·6 mg/1, and in the absence of access of further O2, light-induced oxidized flavour did not develop; similarly, O2 uptake of 7·5 mg/1 in in-bottle sterilized milk exposed to fluorescent light did not result in flavour formation. When light-induced oxidized flavour developed consistently in whole milk none developed in skim-milk, indicating the lipid source of the flavour. In contrast Cu-induced oxidized flavour development was not associated with high O2 uptake. Although nearly complete deoxygenation of whole pasteurized milk contaminated with Cu prevented the formation of the flavour, moderate deoxygenation resulted in even greater flavour intensity than non-deoxygenation. The 2 oxidized flavours also differed in relation to ascorbic acid (AA) oxidation. Light-induced oxidized flavour developed only after AA oxidation was complete, whereas Cu-induced flavour developed with AA still present. AA oxidation was greatly accelerated through the effects of both Cu and light. In milk free from Cu contamination and protected from light, after AA oxidation (plus SH group oxidation in the case of UHT milk) was complete, no further loss of O2 occurred, even during prolonged storage at 5°C, despite the presence of large O2 concentrations. However, at 20°C, a small consumption of O2 was measured, and this was associated with stale flavour.

SummaryThe rates of change in light reflectance and in CIELAB tri-stimulus colour values were compared for direct and indirect ultra heat treated (UHT) and sterilized milk in glass and polyethene bottles stored under different conditions. The rate of change of milk reflectance was higher at shorter wavelengths and the milk colour changed more rapidly at 30 and 37 °C than at room temperature. Sterilized milk in polyethene bottles was bleached when stored in an illuminated cabinet. The colour of skimmed milk changed more rapidly than that of whole milk. The rate of change in reflectance of direct UHT milk above 590 nm was found to be higher than in other milks. A statistical interaction was found between the fat content and the storage temperature for the CIELAB values. The homogenization pressure used in processing UHT milk samples did not affect the rate of change of the milk colour. The main implication of these findings may be that milk colour cannot be used to assess the heat treatment of a milk when the age or storage conditions of the milk are unknown.

Summary Raw milk was processed through a commercial sized plate heat exchanger at temperatures of 160 F through 260 F with a 0.6 sec hold. Milk samples were collected at increments of 10 F during processing and analyzed for psychrophilic, mesophilic and thermophilic counts initially and at weekly intervals thereafter. All samples were held at 40 F after processing. Results indicated that temperatures of processing at 160 F and 170 F were not sufficient to impart acceptable keeping qualities to whole milk held at 40 F for a period of one week. By comparison, processing temperatures of 180 F through 210 F with 0.6 sec hold appeared to impart to whole milk keeping qualities which were approximately comparable to those observed in milk pasteurized according to present standards. When heat treatment in the range of 220 F through 260 F were used, it was indicated that bacteriological keeping quality of the milk was improved to an extent far beyond that experienced with present day commercial pasteurization. There appeared to be somewhat of a tendency for higher count raw milk related to the level of population in the processed product although the magnitude of this relationship was not clearly defined in all cases. It was evident that this process did not produce “commercially sterilized” milk at the processing temperatures and holding time used.

Industrialization and urbanization jeopardized infant nutrition during the 19th century. Cow’s milk was produced in the cities or transported long distances under suspect conditions. Milk was contaminated with bacteria or adulterated with water, flour, chalk, and other substances. When distilleries proliferated in the metropoles, their waste slop was fed to cows who then produced thin and contaminated swill milk. Following a press campaign in the US, the sale of swill milk was prohibited in 1861. Bacterial counts became available in 1881 and helped to improve the quality of milk. Debates on pasteurization remained controversial. Disposal of the wastewater of millions of inhabitants and the manure of thousands of cows was environmentally hazardous. It was not until 1860 and after several pandemics of Asiatic cholera, that effective sewage systems were built in the metropoles. Milk depots were established in the US by Koplik for sterilized and by Coit for certified milk. In France, consultation services named goutte de lait distributed sterilized milk and educated mothers. Efforts to improve milk quality culminated in the International Congresses for the Prevention of Infantile Mortality.

Abstract A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for the determination of am- picillin residues in raw bovine milk, processed skim milk, and pasteurized, homogenized whole milk with vitamin D. Milk samples were deprote- inized with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and acetonitrile. After centrifugation, the clear supernatant was reacted with formaldehyde and TCA under heat. The major fluorescent derivative of ampicillin was then determined by reversed-phase LC with fluorescence detection. Average recoveries of ampicillin fortified at 5,10, and 20 ppb (ng/mL) were all >85% with coefficients of variation <10%. Limits of detection ranged from 0.31 to 0.51 ppb and limits of quantitation, from 0.66 to 1.2 ppb. After appropriate validation, this method should be suitable for rapid analysis of milk for ampicillin residues at the tolerance level of 10 ppb.

Dairy proteins reduce appetite and improve postprandial glycaemic response in adults. However, there are no reports of dairy in amounts usually consumed on satiety and postprandial glycaemia in either young or older adults. In a randomized crossover design, 30 healthy young adults (age: 23.5 ± 0.5 years; body mass index (BMI): 21.8 ± 0.4 kg/m2) and 30 healthy/overweight older adults (age: 65.2 ± 0.5 years; BMI: 24.7 ± 0.6 kg/m2) consumed 1 serving (according to manufacturers’ labels) of skim milk (0.1% milk fat (MF)), whole milk (3.25% MF), plain Greek yogurt (2% MF), cheddar cheese (31% MF), and water (energy-free control) after a 12-h fast. Subjective appetite was measured every 15–30 min over 3 h. Blood glucose and insulin were measured at baseline and every 15–30 min over 2 h. All dairy treatments reduced post-treatment subjective appetite area under the curve (AUC) over 3 h by 8%–17% more than water. Greek yogurt reduced appetite 3-h AUC more than skim and whole milk by 9% and 7%, respectively (p < 0.0001). Post-treatment blood glucose 2-h AUC was 42% lower in young compared with older adults (p = 0.003). It was also 52%–78% lower after cheese compared with milks and yogurt (p < 0.0001). Post-treatment insulin AUC after cheese was only 10%–15% of that after milks and Greek yogurt (p < 0.0001). We conclude that single servings of dairy differ in effect on postprandial satiety and glycaemia and merit consideration in management of metabolic syndrome.

Pasteurized whole milk, ultra-high temperature heated milk, canned evaporated milk, skim milk and instant nonfat dry milk were analyzed for presence of oxidized cholesterol compounds. Effects of heating whole milk and storage of whole milk lipid extracts were also examined. Analytical thin-layer chromatography data indicate that cholesterol in liquid milk was stable during commercial pasteurization, sterilization and evaporation. However, instant non-fat dry milk contained 7-hydroxy-cholesterol. Heating whole milk for 12 h at 85°C did not produce oxysterols, but GC-MS analysis indicate that storage of whole milk lipids may have produced steroidal ketones.

Autoclaved whole milk, low-fat milk, protein-fortified skim milk and regular skim milk were inoculated to contain ca. 105 to 106 Borrelia burgdorferi strains 35210, 35211, or EBNI/ml and stored at 34°C for 16 d. Similarly inoculated skim milk also was held at 5°C for 46 d. Numbers of survivors were estimated by the Most Probable Number (MPN) technique. In all instances, numbers of B. burgdorferi decreased over the storage period. At 34°C, no strain of B. burgdorferi was detected after day 12. The mean D-values, at 34°C, for strains 35210, 35211, and EBNI were 2.2, 2.4, and 2.2 d, respectively. The mean D-values, at 34°C, for all strains in whole milk, low-fat milk, protein-fortified skim milk, and regular skim milk were 2.4, 2.3, 1.9, and 2.4 d, respectively. At 5°C, spirochete numbers in regular skim milk decreased, but all three strains remained at a detectable level for 46 d. The mean D-values, at 5°C, for strains 35210, 35211, and EBNI were 12, 15, and 12 d, respectively.

Milk, naturally contaminated with aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) was separated with a hand-operated separator. Distribution of AFM1 paralleled the partitioning of whole milk into cream and skim milk. Most of the whole milk was recovered as skim milk, which also contained most of the AFM1. Cream accounted for 5–15% of the amount of whole milk and had 2–14% of AFM1 that originally occurred in whole milk. Cream and skim milk were pasteurized at 64°C for 30 min, AFM1 was stable in both products given this heat treatment.

Pasteurization parameters for grade A milk are well established and set by regulation. However, as solids levels increase, an increased amount of heat is required to destroy any pathogens present. This effect is not well characterized. In this work, the effect of increased dairy solids levels on the thermal resistance of Listeria monocytogenes was examined through the use of ultrafiltered (UF) milk, reconstituted milk powder, and the milk components lactose and caseinate. From the results obtained, lactose and caseinate did not appear to affect thermal resistance. In addition, the level of milk fat, up to 10% of the total solids in UF whole milk, did not result in statistically significant changes to thermal resistance when compared with UF skim milk. Reconstituted skim milk powder at 27% total solids (D62-value = 1.16 ± 0.2 [SD] min, z = 5.7) did result in increased thermal resistance, as compared with reconstituted skim milk powder at 17.5% (D62-value = 0.86 ± 0.02 min, z = 5.57) and UF whole milk at 27% total solids (D62-value = 0.66 ± 0.07 min, z = 5.16). However, that increase appeared to be due to the increase in salt levels, not to increases in caseinate, fat, or lactose. Consequently, total solids, as a single measure, could not be used to predict increased thermal resistance of L. monocytogenes in concentrated milk.
