LIGHT DEVELOPS
BAD MILK FLAVOR
Defect May Be Due to Any
of Several Causes.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Sunlight-nature's cure-all for many
ailments-is bad medicine for milk.
Milk kept In the "outdoor icebox" or
on the window sill sometimes devel-
ops an off flavor that has been de-
scribed as cardboard taste" having
an odor like drying linseed oil. Such
defect may be due to any of sew
eral causes, but one of the most COM
mon causes, according to DIR. Will
liam G. Frazier of the bureau Of
dairy industry, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, is ordinarily
light. The light apparently acts as a
catalyst in the oxidation of the milk
fat, he says.
That light is essential for the de-
velopment of the cardboard taste has
been demonstrated recently by Doctor
Frazier in series Of tests in which
duplicate sets Of samples of milk were
prepared, one of which was ex-
posed to daylight and the other
placed In the dark. In all cases the
samples kept in the dark developed
no off flavOrs or odors, even after
seven to nine days at near freezing
temperatures, whereas the samples
kept in the light at the same temper
atures developed the characteristic
cardboard odor and taste after 20 to
4S hours Of which 8 to 26 hours were
daylight.
Further tests showed that the card
board taste is not due to the card
board cap, and that it develops in the
cream or in whole milk and not in
skim milk. Furthermore, milk from
cows that had received no oil feeds
was found to be just as susceptible
when exposed to light as that from
cows that consumed large quantities
Of oil feeds.
Consumers are cautioned to keep
milk in the dark, even when tempera-
lures in the light are near freezing,
to avoid the development of card
board taste and linseed-oil odor.

her Kitchen more convenient after she
had talked with the home demonstra-

able extra planning and work would
have to be done, especially as the sug-

expenditure of about $50. So Mrs.
