Extract

1. Fifteen samples of raw and fifteen samples of commercially sterilized milk from the same bulk were analysed for vitamin C by the chemical method (titration with dichlorophenol-indophenol).

2. The raw milk contained on an average 1·83 mg./100 ml. of total (reduced and reversibly oxidized) ascorbic acid. The corresponding figure for sterilized milk was 1·03 mg./100 ml., a loss of 43% of the original value.

3. Storage of the sterilized milk for a period of 4·6 weeks resulted in a further reduction equivalent to about 30%.
