Milk Flavor

• Oxidized Flavor
• Rancid Flavor
• Heated Flavor
• Microbiological Flavor
• Absorbed Flavor
• Sunlight Flavor

Oxidized Flavor
Cardboard Due to some lactones (Butter
flavor) Metallic Vinyl methyl ketone Oily
Oct-1-ene-3-one (Mushroom flavor) Tallowy
Trans-2, trans-6-nonadienal Autooxidation of
phospholipids are considered as responsible for
the oxidized flavor

Autooxidation of Phospholipids

• Iodine value of oil in oxidized milk is not
  changed, Iodine value of phospholipids in
  oxidized milk is decreased.
• Sweet cream butter-milk high in phospholipids is
  more susceptible to oxidized flavor.
• Butter oil, free of phospholipids is less
  susceptible to oxidized flavor.

6
Preventive Method

• Avoid cupric iron and ferric ion
• Elimination of oxygen pack under vacuum or
  nitrogen
• Avoid light
• Better quality milk, less bacteria, more
  susceptible to oxidized flavor.
• The bacteria can either using up the available
  oxygen or generate antioxidant compounds.

7
Rancid Flavor
Hydrolysis of triglycerides by lipase. The
lipase are present in the aqueous phase of the
milk at the time of secretion. Any process which
alter the membrane, such as homogenization,
agitation, and warming and cooling will
accelerate the rancidity.
8
Heated Flavor
General information Pasteurization induces
heated flavor. Now people are used to
pasteurization and consider heated flavor as
normal milk flavor. Cooked flavor is the
off-flavor induced by temperature above 75 oC
beyond the pasteurization. Too much heat will
develop caramelized flavor.

14
Sunlight Flavor
Sunlight will induce oxidized flavor and sunlight
flavor and hay-like flavor. Oxidized
flavor Sunlight flavor burnt and / or
cabbage
15
Riboflavin Effect on Sunlight Flavor

• Riboflavin is a catalyst for production of the
  sunlight flavor.
• Milk protein and riboflavin sunlight
  sunlight flavor
• 2) Riboflavin increase in milk will increase the
  sunlight flavor
• 3) Riboflavin removal prevent the sunlight flavor
