Extract

The following summary of the effect of increasing quantities of oxygen in producing ‘off’ flavour in gas-packed full-cream milk powder during storage for long periods has been based on observations made in the present series of experiments, supplemented to some extent by results from later work on the gas storage of spray-dried powder which is not here reported in detail.

(a) Full-cream powders stored in the presence of up to 0.01 ml. of oxygen per g. of powder kept very well at both normal and high temperatures. This figure corresponds to 1 % of oxygen (after completion of desorption) in the free-space gas of a can of spraydried powder packed to a bulk density of 0.55 g./ml., or to 0.5 % of oxygen in a can of roller powder packed to a bulk density of 0.35 g./ml. Tallowiness was never definitely detected under such conditions, and there seems to be little or no advantage to be gained, at least so far as palatability is concerned, by improving on this figure. An atmosphere containing not more than 0.01 ml. of oxygen per g. of powder can therefore be considered an ideal pack for milk powder.
