Most of these flavors have been found to have gained entrance to the milk through one or more of the following avenues: (1) feeds fed to the cow; (2) direct absorption of surrounding odors; (5) bacterial growth; (4) variations in the actual chemical composition of the milk; and (5) chemical action. Those flavors developing through chemical change pro- bably cause the greatest concern. The most important, and undoubtedly the least understood, of the "off" flavors in milk due to chemical action has been the "oxidized" flavor. The oxidized flavor in milk is not new. The very fact that numerous names, eg., "papery," "cardboardy," "cappy," ' and "metallic," have "oily," "tallowy," "suety," "emery,' been applied to this flavor at various times merely shows how widespread and confusing the oxidized flavor has been and re- mains up to the present. Confusion in nomenclature pertain- ing to this flavor has made the correlation of the work of European and American investigators on the subject difficult. However, much investigational work points to the fact that oxidized flavor is not caused by a single factor, but probably by several factors. Although a search of the literature shows that a great amount of research has been done pertaining to the various causes of oxidized flavor, little work has been undertaken concerning the effect of certain feeds on the lecithin content of milk and, hence, its relation to the oxidized flavor. This thesis records investigational work chiefly on that phase of the problem. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Introduction. As early as 1905 attention was first directed to the oxidized flavor in milk by Golding and Feilmann (12). Guthrie (l4) pointed out, however, that prior to this time White, in 1901, had designated a "metallic" flavor in butter. Further citations by Guthrie indicated clearly t-at the "oxidized" flavor was mistaken for some time for this "metallic" flavor. Recent research by Roland, Sorensen, and Whitaker (34) indicated the high prevalence of oxidized flavor in commercial bottled milk particularly in the high fat, premium quality product. Since the oxidized flavor was first identified there have been numerous studies made on the subject by foreign as well as by American investigators. The quest has been to find the definite cause of the oxidized flavor, whether it be called papery, cardboardy, cappy, oily, or oxidized. Research has shown that many factors, operating singly or in combination, affect the susceptibility of milk to oxidized flavor development. A review of the literature pertaining to the relationship of various factors to the development of the oxidized flavor is herein given. Effect of ascorbic acid, vitamin C, content of milk on ‘ ascorbic acid (cebione) had a marked retarding effect on the development of oxidized flavor. Sharp, Trout, and Guthrie (57) did some recent work on oxidized flavor and vitamin C. They stated that no relationship was found between the variations in the original ascorbic acid content of the fresh milk and the development of the oxidized flavors, but a very definite relationship was found between the rate of disappearance of the ascorbic acid and the develOpment of the oxidized flavor of milk. They also found that the addition of ascorbic acid had a tendency to prevent the development of oxidized flavor. A recent report from the West Virginia Agriculture Experiment Station (10) carried the following comment. "Evidence that the presence of vitamin C prevents the develop- ment of oxidized flavor was obtained.by feeding tomato juice in the amount of two quarts daily to three cows known to be producing susceptible mi k. The susceptibility diminished and disappeared after several weeks of this treatment, but recurred when the feeding of tomato juice was discontinued. Similar results were also obtained from the feeding of pure vitamin C (cebione) and lemon juice. Likewise, in the case of six cows which produced susceptible milk on a dry barn Ho feeding regime, the susceptib lity disappeared when the animals were on pasture." Riddell and others (32) found that milk from cows fed 4. either on pasture or on dry feed showed no significant biological or chemical difference in vitamin C content. Whitnah, Riddell, and Caulfield (49) added 0.5 gram of copper daily to the ration of certain cows and.found that in the case of these cows it produced a significant decrease in the stability of the vitamin C in pasteurized milk and assumed there would be a corresponding increase in copper content of the mi k. Normal variations of copper in the ration, they stated, would probably not produce any significant effect on the vitamin C of milk. Rasmussen and others (50) studied the effect of breed characteristics and stages of lactation on the vitamin C content of cows milk. They observed that after the first two months of lactation the ascorbic acid content of the milk secreted depended solely upon the ascorbic acid content of the diet of the cow. They stated that in view of a constant intake of ascorbic acid in the diet of the cow and a decrease in milk producti n, such as usually occurs in the later stage of lactation, one might expect milk of higher vitandn C con- tent toward the end of the lactation period especially if the storage capacity of the cow for this substance is limited. They found that mastitic milk gave abnormal ascorbic acid values. They also presented tables which showed that the ascorbic acid content of the various milk samples varied with the cow almost as much as it varied with the breed, and that the ascorbic acid content of milk from some cows varied from period to period. In this work they called attention to the 5o apparent relation between cardboard flavor and low ascorbic acid content although they evidently did not consider it important, since it was not included in their summary. They stated that I—Jo nvariably the samples which developed cardboard flavor on standing, decreased in ascorbic acid content coins cident with the development of the off flavor. They did not determine whether the cardboard flavor was due to the degradation products of ascorbic acid or whether the factors instrumental in the formation of cardboard flavor were also instrumental in the destruction of ascorbic acid. Ross (55) presented data showing that under commercial conditions of pasteurization the destruction of vitamin C was due principally to the presence of copper in the apparatus used. Furthermore, COpper contamination from a bottle filler increased the oxidized flavor and decreased the ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in pasteurized milk. Sharp (36) stated that in agreement with the work of Whitnah and Riddell (47) the vitamin C content of fresh milk was found to be relatively constant throughout the year although variations occurred in individual cows. He stated that no increase in the ascorbic acid content of cow's milk was produced by green feeding nor of goats milk by intra- jugular injection of four grams ascorbic acid daily. He explained the variations in the rate of oxidation of ascorbic acid in milk by assuming the presence of an ascorbic acid oxidase, the action of which was highly catalyzed by traces of dissolved copper and by individual cows which gave milk 6. of varying ascorbic acid oxidase activity. Certain exgeriments indicated that ascorbic acid disappeared sore rapidly from Q t4. :1te r milk produced on dry feed th- it did from summer nilk. This he attributed to different amounts of enzyme or of copper at these seasons. He found the holder met :10d of pasteurization (30 minutes at 143° - 145°) caused a slight destruction of the enzyme while a half minute or longer of his“ temoerature pasteurization (77°C. or lVOoF.) destroyed the enz zyme entirely and so retarded oxidation of the ascorbic acid. Even traces of copper dissolved in the milk pasteurized by the latter method had very little acceleration effe ect upon the destruc- tion of ascorbic acid becaise the enzyme had been killed by the high temperatures. He pointed out that the idea that raw milk contained more vitamin C than holder oaste ri ed milk N has been a false conception since he found that milk heated 0A in lass for one hour at 63 e. contained more ascorbic acid (.17 ‘ after holding cold three days than did an aliquot held raw for the same time. This he stated was because more of the enzyme, oxidase, which catalyzed the oxidation of ascorbic aid was destroyed by heatin than was the ascorbic acid it- self. He attributei any apnrec cia ble destruction of v tamin C in commercial pasteurization to copper contamination, and s stated that most of the destruction of &SC;rDiC acid in commercial bottled milk oce cur‘rei in the cold milk raring holding after pasteurization. re:.'itt (28) had likewise no oted t1at as the pasteurization temperature was incre ----- sei with a shorter period of holding the 7. intensity of oxidized flavor was correspondinjly lessened, and at 95°C. inhibited. Dann and Satterfield (9); Whitnah and Yidaell (48), and Barron, Barron, and Kle.-perer (2) have discovered so hie relationships between the ascorbic acid content of milk and cer tiin of its physical and chemical properties 0;! 1 .P out did not correlate their work with the OKileed flavor, however, this work may be considered to have an indirect bearing on the oxidized flavor studies since thev studied certain processes vnich have been shown by others to es involved in the development of oxidiz d flavor. Enzymes and the oxidized flavor. Duthrie (14) sug3esc ted as early as 1916 that enzymic action was possit cly the cause of H the metallic" F11 flavor which he was then studying. lLiS flavor (n was quite 1ih 1y ide entic a1 with that now known as oxidized. Lat er Kende (22 showed that an enzyme, oleanase, in the presence of copper was the cause of oxidized flavor. He found that the a3ents responsible for the O'ida tion were in no way associated with the fats, but were to be found in the milk plasma, particularly in the albumensglobulin fraction of the milk. Perlman (26) in 1955 published work to show that certain acteria were capaele of pro lucing enzymes whi 'ch affec te:1 the destruction of milk phospholipids, which were found by Brown, Thurston, and Dustman (5), later by Chilson(8), to be oxidized, in part at least, yielding the flavor in question. Chilson (8) found that the add: ion of small amounts of 1 copper sulphate to milk thicn appaie tly would not or :idize C L.) 0 because of the lack of susceptibili y, or of enzyme, did become oxidized. Ehis showed that the enzyme alone wa iot a sufficient catalyst, but had to be aided by the cop; oer. Gondos (15) attributed the devellpment of the 0:: idized flavor in part to the presence of oleinase in the fat, and. in part to aetal contamination which catalyzed t11e activity of the oleinase. Chilson (8) pointed out that there was no enzyme present in the milk of some cows durin3 the summer mont.es, thus accounting for the absence of the o: :idize1 flavor d aring certain seasons of the year. Sharp, Trout and Guthrie (57) indicated that the enzyme was foremost in importance as a so arcs of o: :idized flavor. Effect of feed on oxidized flavor. Not until 1928 was feed su33ested as a factor associated with the oxidized flavor development. Frazier (11) stated that the ox xid ized flavor due to 1i 3ht deve lop “81 o ore rapidly in milk from cows fed heavy rations of cottonseed meal or linseed cake than in milk from cows receiving no oil feed. Kende (27) expressed the opinion that one factor in the production of the "olea3inous" flavor (oxidized flavor) was the condition and type of feed which the cow received. Gondos (1%) expressed the belief that the choice of the proper ration was the key to control of certain reducing substances in dairy products which acted as natlral protective a3ents a3 a; net oxidized flavor. Henderson and Roadhouse (18) stated that milk produced by animals drawing upon their body fat as the result of submaintenance rations showed increases in the percentage of unsaturated fats, and showed, likewise, an increased susceptibility of the fat to oxidation. On the other hand, Chilson (8) stated that the feed did not appear to be a major cause for the seasonal variation in oxidized flavor, as some of the cows in his experiment which gave a very distinct flavor in the winter or spring months, but gave no off flavor in August, were not on pasture, and were getting approximately the same ration which they received in the winter. Prewitt (28) found that the fat level in the ration influenced the development of oxidized flavor and that certain grain mixtures had an inhibitory effect, but that the vitamin A level in the ration caused no difference in the intensity of the oxidized flavor. However, Anderson, Hardenberg, and Wilson (1) found that the addition of 500,000 U.S.P. units of vitamin A was far less effective than the addition of approximately eight pounds of carrots daily to the ration. They suggested that off flavors in raw milk might be due to the feeding of rations in.which certain labile accessory food factors had been greatly diminished by improper curing or by storage. For exauple, artificially dried alfalfa hay was considerably richer in this quality than field dried hay. Also, carrots were much more potent in the factor than the artificially dried hay. Oxidized flavors were eliminated from 10. the milk by addition of carrots to the ration. They believed that carotene alone or with associated compounds was concerned with the prevention of oxidized flavors in raw milk. Prewitt and Parfitt (29) indicated that both the feed and tlie individuality of the cow were factors v.hich goverzied the susceptibility of the milk to oxidized flavor development. They postulated tlia t certain feeds, particularly green feed, impart an antioxidant to the milk, which account, in part, for the lessened tender cy for o: :idized flavor development in summer. Workers at the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station (10) found that the feeding of tomato juice, lemon juice, pasture, or pure vitamin C (cebione) prevented the development of the oridized milk. Tiey at ributei this in! hibitory effect to the vitamin C present in the feed. Brown, Thurston, and Dustman (6) found that changing cows on dry feed to a dry feed plus oa sture regime caused A. a milk to become non-susceptible to oxid’zed flavor development. Kilk fr m individual cows was f und to vary in susceptibility to o: cidized flavor development. Their work indicated that the feed of the cow had a very pronounced effect on the susceptibility of the milk to oxidized flavor development. Tomato juice, lemon juice and ascorbic acid fed to the cows all had a pronounced effect in reducing the susceptibility of the milk to oxidized flavor development. Effect of freezing and thawing of milk on oxidized flavor. Recently Thtw ston, Brown and Dustman (42) called attention 11. to the observation that freezing and thawing caused the reduction or elimination of the suscep ibility of milk to the oxidized flavor development. They noted a close relationship between this effect and the occurrence of cream plugs containing relatively large particles of butterfat, f‘durin' that presumably oiled of g thawing. Whenever an excessive cream plug was observed, the milk ailed to develop oxidized flavor even with 5.9 parts per million of added copper. however, when a less pronounced cream plug was ob- served some development of oxidized flavor usually was BVident o Effect of heat on oxidized flavor development in milk. For some time i has been known that milk susceptible to oxidized flavor and contaminated with copper and other metals develops a pronounced oxidized flavor upon holder pasteurization. Kende (22) found, in addition to the effects of holder pasteurization, that high temperature pasteurization (80°C. for five minutes) would inhibit the development of oxidized flavor even in the presence of heavy metal contamination. Guthrie and Eruecner (15) noted no difference in the intensity of the oxidized flavor developed when milk was pasteurized at temperatures between 140°F. and 150°F. for thirty minutes, but that in milk pasteurized at 160°F. oxidized flavor developed although its intensity was diminished. Pasteurization at 170°F. yielded a cooked flavor but oxidized flavor did not develop upon storage. Perlman (27) found no evidence that heat alone caused 12. the destruction of lecithin and its allied phospholipids, which have been shown (8, 41) to be associated with oxidized flavor. He showed that certain bacteria, however, were capable of producing enzymes which would effect the destruc- tion of milk phospholipids. Prewitt (28) showed that as pasteurization temperature was increased with a shorter period of holding the degree of oxidized flavor was correspondingly lessened until at 93°C. its development was inhibited. He attributed this to reduc- tion of time of contact with the copper rather than the higher pasteurization temperature. Effect gf_homogenization on oxidized flavor in milk. In 1955 Tracy, Ramsey, and Ruehe (44) discovered that homogeniza- tion of milk contaminated with copper caused the tallowy flavor in milk to be less apparent. However, homogenization had no apparent effect on oxidationrreduction potentials of the milk. They also found that the more gelatin they added the less apparent the flavor became. They attributed the lessening in intensity of flavor to some difference in the taste reaction rather than.any actual reduction in the intensity of the oxidation of the butterfat. They stated that the close relationship between Eh values of the homogenized and the unhomogenized milk indicated that the lessened intensity of the oxidized flavor developing in the homogenized milk needed to be explained in some other way than on an oxidation- reduction basis. Thurston, Brown and Dustman (42) found that unhomogenized 15. milk containing no added copper failed to develOp an oxidized flavor; that unhomogenized milk COpper contaminated from the cylinder block and valves of the machine became oxidized When processed without pressure; that 500 pounds pressure reduced the oxidized flavor development materially or destroyed it completely; and that oxidized flavor did not develop in milk containing added copper when.the homo- genization pressure was 5000 pounds or more. Ross (55) observed that pasteurized milk which contained copper and which was homogenized at 1500 pounds pressure did not develop an oxidized flavor whereas lower pressures did not prevent this flavor development. Effect Q; the individual cow 22 oxidized flavor gg milk. Henderson and Roadhouse (18) noted that milk produced by animals drawing upon their body fat by the consumption of submaintenmre rations showed increases in the percentage of unsaturated fats and increased susceptibility of the fat to oxidation. Guthrie and Brueckner (15) found that of 155 cows studied 21 per cent gave milk which distinctly developed oxidized flavor, and an additional 10 per cent gave milk which developed slightly oxidized flavor. They stated that apparently the oxidized flavor persisted in the milk of certain cows even through its appearance for the most part was irregular. Trebler (45) stated that animals might be a cause of oxidized flavor as well as plant equipment. Chilson (8) noted variations of oxidized flavor in the l4. milk from different cows. He found that the milk from some cows developed the flavor more distinctly than that from others. He noted also that with some cows this flavor develop- ment persisted for several weeks or months, and then disappeared. Later he (8) studied the vitamin C content of milk from different cows some of which were on pasture and some of which were on dry feed. Practically all of these cows gave milk which developed the oxidized flavor in the winter months, but none gave the flavor in August. Prewitt (28) recorded an instance in.which a certain cow gave positive mastitis reaction to the brom cresol purple paper test on four different occasions and, although her milk was not judged the best, at no time was it scored low because of the presence of a metallic or oxidized flavor. He called attention to the fact that Horrall (21) had shown that the H per cent of lecithin in fat of milk from mastit s cows range from.0.348 to 5.52 with most of the samples above 0.9. In the fat of milk from health' udders the range was 0.507 per cent to 0.745 per cent. Prewitt believed that in view of Horrall's findings lecithin would appear not to be a source of oxidized flavor. Likewise, milk from a cow which was suffering from mastitis was not more likely to develop an oxidized flavor than the milk from a normal cow. Prewitt and Parfitt (29) found the individuality of the cow to be a factor which governed the susceptibility of the milk to oxidized flavor development. Whitnah and Hiddell (48) showed that the season of the year, the indiviriality of the F" ()1 0 animal, the breed of the c w, and the stage of lactation ap- ’) w eare‘ to be the most important factors causing variations in the vitamin C content of fresh milk, which is thought by several (8, 57, 50, 55) to be directly connected vith the development of oxidized flavor. ”LT affect f light on oxidized flavor development in milk. Hammer and Cordes (17) found that sunlight had a pronounced influ nce on the flavor of milk and cream. They found that with sufficient exposure a definitely oxidized flavor developed .4. H r H and that with less exposure a distinctly of: flavor occurred. They were able to prevent this flavor by using brown glass bottles. n a defect in milk [—30 Frazier (11) became interested } during cold weather which was bothering people who were usiny 0 "outdoor ice boxes" of the open window-box type. The milk developed a "cardboard" flavor and linseed oil odor. He found this flavor to develop in whole milk exoosed to diffuse Laylight for eight or more hours even at about freezing temperatures. The defect developed faster in pasteurized than in raw milk. Guthrie and rueckner (15) found that ultra violet light, acting as a cat V Q) lyst, was the cause of some of the oxidized flavor development in milk. Henderson and Roadhouse (18), in their study of susceptibility of mi “ to the oxidized flavor by use of the photochemical cell, found that exposure of cream to the action of direct sunlight or to diffused light gave definite increases in susceptibility. Oxidized flavor as a_result of m tal contamination. From he knowledge of the fact that oxidized fl avor is the result of tie oxidation of the f t or sore of its constituer Ht rather than the hydrolysis of the fat, the cata lyzina. effect of metal in the OKliM.ti n process has been pointed out by a .1 number of investigators. (.7 I1. FJ o m a (1"; old 1d Fei m nn (12) were the first to correlate Q; 0 the O i N ' zed flavor with copper contamination. They found that when milk was cooled over a little farm cooker which had the greater part of the tinning removed, llowing bare copp er to come into contact v.ith the n~.ilk, a distinct flavor developed in about eighteen hours at room temperature. The milk was found to contain two and one-half parts of copper in 10,000,000 parts of sweet milk. They stated "the clHeListry of the flavor is still only a matter of Speculation, but similar flavors can be produced by other oxidizing agents such as potassium.permanganate, ferrous chloride and hydrogen peroxide." They also tfliou h micro-organisms might be the fundamental cause. WW Guthrie (14) concluded that direct absorption of metals mi; ht cam c=e the metallic flavor in dairy products. In connection with the theory of metal contamination and the oxidized flavor development in milk it is well to review the work of Hiscall, Cavanaugh and Carodemas (24) who showed that the solubility of copper in pasteurized milk increased up to a temperature of 140°F. and then decreased as the temperature was raised. Both increase and decrease 17. in solubility were Shown to have taken place gradually. In raw milk the same type of curve was shown except the temperature of naximum copper solubility was 150°F. They also noted that previously pasteurized milk dissolved more copper at every temperature than did the raw milk. Milk under partial vacuum had a much lower copper solubility than either the raw or pasteurized milk. The maximum copper solubility in this case was at 140°F. Carbon dioxide was sh wn to have a definite depressing effect upon the solubility of copper in milk. When oxygen was used instead of carbon dioxide the maximum dissolving power was exhibited. Guthrie, Roadhouse, and Richardson (16) suggested that corrosion of metals by milk is truly electro-chemical and agreed with Rice and Kiscall (31) that copper once dissolved in milk may plate out on any tin surface with which it comes into contact. Also, that whenever milk is exposed to surfaces of tin and copper together, less copper is dissolved than where there is the same exposure of copper alone. Guthrie and Erueckner (15) in reference to the oxidized flavor stated that so far as was known oxidation of milk fat in milk and cream is the cause of these flavors and that copper, acting as a catalyst, is largely responsible for the development of the flavor. ' Trebler (45) indicated that copper, iron or zinc will cause, or rather accentuate, the oxidized off flavor in milk. Tracy, Ram ey, and Ruehe (44) found that upon innocula- tion of milk with copper he oxidationrrefuction potential 18. was found to move toward the side of oxidation. hitter and Christen (55) found that tallowiness in milk was associated with 0.01 milligrams of copper per liter; five milligrams «L‘ per liter also produced the flavor. Addin3 h dro: 3en peroxide, id ‘T hydrogen ions, or “-methvl-r-awi' .ohenol~sulfate stepped the development of tallowiness. Ascorbic acid and molic acid} cad a like action. Incre sin n3 temperatures of hea ing decreased tr e tendency for this flavor to develop. Kende (22) produced the "oleigenous" flavor by exposing milk to metal squares, a ten cm square to 500 cc milk. He found that salts of the metals were far superior in producing the flavor, also that 1/10 the amount of c0pper would cause the same effect as iron. Gonuos (15) stated that contamination of dairy products with heavy metals which catalyze the activity of the oleinase is among the factors which operate to cause oxidized flavor. In 1954 Henderson and Roadhouse (18) showed that exposure of cream to copper definitely increased its sus- ceptibility to oxidized flavor. // _-o-‘ Thurston, Brown and J‘stman (41) demonstrated that pasteurization of milk to which 0.01 per cent powdered copper has been added produced the oxidized flavor in milk wnen it was cooled to 40°F. and air bubbled through it for 24 hours. This treatment produced a strong oxidized flavor \fi aile the same treatment without the addei copper produced no oxia ized flavor. Brown, Thurston, and Dustman (5) stated that when milk 19. was contaminated with an amount of copper ranging up to two and one-half ppm after being holder pasteurized, developed a more intense oxidized flavor than when identical contamina- tion took place before pasteurizatiol. Raw milk contaminated with copper had a ten1ency to develop the same intezsity o (‘f oxidized flavor as the same milk cor tarnina ed after pasteurization. The exposure of milk to the air whiie being pa sse ed over a surface cooler had no more tendency to produ ce ox xidi zed flavor than tLe passare of the milk through an internal tube cooler.

A survey of the literature on this subjec reveals many conflicting data relative to wlich particular .‘ fatty constituer t yield the 0x1 iaiz ed flavor. Thurston and Barnhart (40) believed that lecithin vas connected with the cxi Mi ed flavor. They 1 ads their studies on buttermilk cause it contained the 'hull' from the fat 3«'lobules in churned *1.“- , U: cream." They w hed the "hull" from some of the fat 3lobu1es and allowed it to remain on others. They made synthetic milk and added lecithin to it and also added lecii thin to skimmilh in which the per cent lecithin was known. They found that samples that conta ned lecithin developed 01 :idized flavor while t1 ose containin3 none and t1ose wi t1 washed fat 3Wlob11e produced no oxidized flavor. Thurston, Brown and Bus na (41) heated milk to 55°F. to 70°F. and separated it. They then stardardized the cream to 55 per cent and divided it into two lots. One lot rt- churned in rlass; he other lot v.as converted ir nto washed 0 i..J butterfat. This was1in3 removed 1 phosptolipids since no phosphorus could be found in the washed butterfat. They r". red 18 persed the washed butterfat in skim milk of good flavor 11 by homo3enlzation. The remade mi1k did not develop or idized . .Ll 111 11‘; i? .L 1,- vb “7' ‘q'. 1.113. C; L)...

Recent investigation, however, has SELOWL that homogenization will in itself prevent the develOpnent of cxid i zed flavor in milk. In t1 is work the milk was remade by homo3enization. Chilson (8) supoorted their theory stating, "The o.idized flavor is never found in the skim milk unless the fat content is too high. This shows that the oxidized flavor due to o; :idation of the fat or substances adsorbed on the fat globule." Later Chilson (8) stated that milk which was susceptible to the oxidized flavor was separated and the fat washed 14 times and then mi} ed back with its original skim milk. The remade milk produced no 0} :ifized flavor even when copper sulfate was added. This evidence he said seems to show that it is not the actual milk fat which is oxidized but something adsorbed or at least something that can be washed off from he fat globule such as lecithin. Lecithin values in dairy produc ts. To understand the t1eory 21. of oxid zed flavor due to ox dation of the lecithin, or perhaps more strictly speahiLa, to the oxiia ation of the ('1’ p. ('1' :1 fatty cons ents adsvroed on the surface of the fat globule, H- it is necessary first to become familiar with he results which come from much specul fit on and invest i'Wa ion on the subject of lecithin as a cause of error in the various fat tests used in the dairy industry. Chapman (7) was one of the fir st to study this error. Th‘rston and Peterson (43) shortly afterward reported indications that leCithin content materially altered the fat te st w.hen certain methods were used. H t Holm and his associates ( C, 50, 51) studied tILe phOSpholipid content of various dairy p1 MO ”Lucts with particular interest in the error of certain fat tests due to phospholipid materials. Palmer and Weise (25) studi d the Iraterials adsorbed on the fat globule and reported that they had found, by di alysing the "membrane" of fat globules from churned washed fat in collodian bags, that there was no casein adsorbed there. however, they found that phosphorus which others had claimed an impurity was not dialysed off, and hence was a definite part of the material adsorbed on the surface of the fat globule. Soon after, Perl~an (23 -) showed that the phospholipid content of fresh cream increased uniformly with the fat content to a point of approzwi ately 55-58 per cent milk fat ( he point at whicn evidently a reversion of the colloidal system took place) after which it decreased with further fat increases. He found no indications that heat alone would affect the 22. destruction of phOSpholipids in milk products. Kurtz, Jamison, and holm (25) analys d the fatty acids of the lecithinecephalin (ether extract) fraction of sweet cream spray dried buttermilk powder. They found that the ether soluble material was made up of 55 per cent cephalin and 65 per cent lecithin and that in contrast to butterfat the lecithinrcephalin fraction of the milk phospholipids contained none of the lower fatty acids. More surprising was the entire absence of palmitic acid so widely distributed throughout most oils and fats of either vegetable or animal origin. The high percentage of oleic acid found shows that a considerable portion of the phospholipid molecules contained only unsaturated acids. Eorrall (21) made an extensive study of the lecithin content of various dairy products. He indicated the lecithin content of milk from a normal cow to be fairlv constant after the first four days of the lactation period. Factory milk was shown to be much higher in lecithin content than milk from a healthy cow. Mastitis cows were shown to give a high per cent lecithin milk. All of these findings by the various investigators just referred to have a direct bearing on the possibility of lecithin being the substance that is oxidized thus producing the oxidized flavor in milk. Of particular importance to anyone studying the relation? ship of lecithin to the oxidized flavor in milk is the work of Eolm, Wright and Deysher (20) who published work on the IV) (A hemical nature of the phospholip ids in milk. They found that 60.45 per cent of the total isolated material was lecithin; 52.57 per cent of it was ccphalin and 7.20 per cent was sphing myelin. The average molecular we; ht of the lecithin-cephalin raction was calculated to be 775.6 on the basis of 8.4 parts lecithin to each 4.5 parts of cephalin. They state that unpublished data they had already collected showed the O O sphin Jomy elin-cerebroside factor to ind1cate the molecular .1. weight of sphin onyelin as 805. The distribution of the lecithinécephalin to sphingomyelin was 12.9 to 1.0. On this basis the average molecular w ei.ht of the pi ospholipid material would be 775.75 or slightly higher than if it were a lecithin of the oleo-stearyl or distearyl type. Phosphorus represen nts four per cent of this weight and hence the lecithin factor for conversion of phosphorus to m1 llisran‘is of phospholipids would be 25.0. They stated that in View of the solubility of these different fractions it is doubtful if extraction of phos pholip ids can be complete without the use of} ot ethanol or the supplementary use of ex raction with chloroform.

The voltage of the ~. _ -. ,0 saturated colomel raif-cell used was +.2i32 volts at 20 C. The determination of phosphcliiids in milk was acts onpl “isiei in two steps. First, the fatty materials were extracted and then the organic phosphorus det erained by a coloricetr.v followed by norrall (Bl) with the excertion t t rather than pipetting a ten-gram sayple o1 milk into the extraction flask approximately a t*ent3 man sample was weighed into two of the extraction flasks. Duplicates were run on each sample of milk. The fat was dried in the :e ular manner and weighed back, after which the per cent fat was calculate 1. If the duplicates did rot check within txo or three one-hundredths clear cla n‘1zs for phos ph rous on reagents used in the acove procedure, purifica- tion of all reagents used in the extraction was found necessary. Ac morii n3ly, phosphorus ahi arsenic free is ill ed water was A. secured; a special ammonia 13droxiie very low in arsenic and phosphorus was obtained; and the ethers and alcohol redistillei. The ethyl ether was reziisti lled over metallic sodium; the petroleum ether u’as reii till ed over alcoholic potassium hydroxide; and alcohol was redistilled over potassium refluxed for ,ne hour over aluminum turnings accoriing to the method of Stout and Schuette (38). After the fat pans were we; 3hed back they were returned ‘ h to the edge of th- fat plate where the lat was again liquified. The fat was then carefully washed into a seven cm Cillimanite crucible by means of a glass rod and a solution of alcohol, petroleum and ethyl other mixed in the sane proportions as that use ed in the extraction. Careful checking on the fat wei3hts s-owe ed no loss through this transfer, although 31. it required some three or four washings before all of the fat was removed from.the pan. This neces sita ed fillin3 the ashin3 crucibles quite full, but no particular difficulty was encounte rel. The ether~alcohol solutiozz was allowed to evaporate from the fat bys wding at room temperature over ni3ht. Then a saturated solution of alcoholic rLa nesium D“! 1itrate was pipetted into them for ashing at the rate of one- half cc for each 0.1 gram of fat. The crucibles were then placed on the Mojonnier hot plates and, by means of the rheostatic controls, the temperature was gradually raised from 90°F. to 180°F. Rotatin3 of the crucibles in such a manner as to mix the contents greatly aided in the dryin3 process. With pr care in increaSins the temperature and .. ~_) in nu:nerous a3itations of the contents of the'cruc hi his all sputtering was eliminated. As soon as the samples were dry they were pl ced in an electric muffle oven at red heat and 9:: allowed to remain there until a white asn revisincd. After cooling, sufficient hot ten normal sulfuric acid was added from a wash bottle to cover the ash. If this did not dissolve the ash, alon3 with a little rotating of the enicible, boil~ ing hot dis tilled water was added and the dissolvi n3 completed by rotating. The dissolved ash was washed fro the crucible into a 200 ml blue lir ne volumetric flash by the use of boilin3 hot vaate r and a clear rubber policeman. Checkin3 of the crucibles for phosphorus disclosed that as mucl as Six washin3s and liberal use of the polio eman were neces sarv to remove all of the phosphorus from the crucible. Accordinely, Q] I O o (ED—:0 all crucibles wer washed t least sev or e'3ht times and a) Li the wash water decanted into the flask oe was set aside. The sample was then neutralized Wlth cp amm nia water u (.0 phenolphthalein as indicator, and the volume made to 200 ml with arsenic and phosohorus free :3. istilled water. From tt e 20 3 n1 0: solution, 10 ml was carefully pipetted into a 1001 ml volu:met1i flask. To this flash the colorimetric rea3ents for phos;1;orus were added and the volume made up to lOO n1. Solution from this flasg was poured into the cup of a Easuch and Low b Biolo3ica al Colorimeter with the standard set at 20. The phosphorus was determined by the colorime ric method of Bodanshy (4) with the e: :cepti on that t1 e standard phosphate solition was made up accordin3 to the method us ed.by Ioriall (21) and his method of converting the reading to milli: rams of phosphorus was followed. The factor 25.94 was used for converting m3 of rh-s phorus to m3 of lecithin since the newer figure of Helm, Wright, and Deysher (20) was not published at the time the conversior s were fi3ured.

These two groups were made up of two Erown Swiss, one Guernsev, two Holsteins and three Jerseys. The two groups of cows were started, one on a low fat ration, the other on a high fat ration. The only difference _in the two rations as set forth in the procedure, was that the high fat SPOLlp received soy bean oil accor: lin3 to the fat in the milk in addition to the basal low fat ration. After 24 days the two group s of cows were reversed, the low fat group receiving the oil this time and the high fat 3roup receiving none.

Further analysis of the relationship between the ration and the lecithin content of the milk is given in Tables 11 and 12 and in Graphs l and 2. Distribution.2£'1ecithin.igithg_milg, The number of samples which fell in the various class intervals over the range of the per cent lecithin.in the milk, also the percentage distribution which this number represents of the total number of samples in the group is shown in Table 11. The percentage distribution of lecithin in the milk produced from the various rations as well as the oxidized flavor is presented in Graph 1. The graph shows that the samples analyzed for lecithin fell in a normal distribution over the range established for the per cent lecithin in milk. This is true regardless of whether the cows were on a high or a low fat ration, or whether all of the different samples were considered regardless of the ration. Because of the high percentage values caused by the small total number of samples taken when the cows were on corn, on regular dairy ration, and on pasture these values were not graphed separately. However, as can.be seen in Table 11 the dis- tribution is identical with that indicated when all samples were taken together. These values were included.with the others in establishing the distribution curve for the lecithin regardless of ration, making a total of 199 samples studied. 48. 00H 9H 9H 9H 09 09 H9909 99H 9 u - u - - u 99.H H 09.9 9 990.0 9>099 9.9 9 n u u u a - 09.9 9 99.9 s 990.0 0.9 9H : u 99.9 H 99.9 H 09.9H 0H 09.9 9 990.0 9.9H. 99 00.99 9 99.9H 9 99.9H 9 99.9H 9H 99.9H 9H 990.0 9.09 H9 99.9H 9 99.9H 9 00.09 9 99.9H 9H 99.99 9H 990.0 H.99 09 99.99 9 00.99 9 99.99 9 99.99 H9 99.H9 9H 990.0 H.9H 99 00.99 9 99.9H 9 00.09 9 00.0H 9 09.9H 0H 990.0 9.0 9H - . 99.9H 9 99.9 H 09.9 9 09.9 9 990.0 0.H 9 u u u u u n 09.9 9 u u 090.0 goHom « .ozu [Ki 9 .oz 9 u u 9 .oz 9 « H9>Aopaa « u Goapwn no“ « coauwa « «mawnaa u noapwn « coauma « unwao « “mmoacawmomu oadpm9m "hamau .Hmm m «mam naoo « M9“ son “ ymm1nwam u aflnpuooa m “99>Hooom 999,999: sHHs 9H anmHoon 9H999990999 monmum 90 noHps9HnmmHn“ 99900 9H2 .300 999 90 soHsam on» an 9990999<.mm sHHs.mm.:anH09H.mm.90H999H999Hn 9mm 9Hpae [Fri 09.1:thch itprlvihkrotntcwmlr (I’LL; Pt ..fbrrbff. .rrltt..f.r FPO Er\.r..o....trlr..r Ami sHHa gm uufl.na9n 990. 990. . 990.. .990.. 990. . 990. .

Distribution of lecithin in the fat. The same type of analysis as presented in Table 11 and Graph 1 is given in Table 12 and Graph 2 except they are concerned with the distribution of samples based upon the per cent lecithin in the fat rather than upon the per cent lecithin in the milk. The distribution of samples based on the per cent lecithin in the fat is not a normal distribution as is shown.by Graph 2. The ration seemed to have little effect on the number or percentage of samples which.fell in any interval of the per cent lecithin in fat. Again as in the case of Graph 1 only the high.and low fat ration and the aggregate of all samples were graphed. A comparison of the oxidized flavor line and the curve established for the distribution of samples regardless of ration.shows that there might be a slight relationship between the two. That is to say, there seems to be a slight relationship shown between the per cent lecithin in the fat of the milk and the intensity of the oxidized flavor Which develops in that milk, although evidence herein presented is not sufficient to establish a relationship of any importance. The relationship_between lecithin and oxidized flavor. The lecithin content of the various samples of milk studied throughout the entire experiment are given in Tables 1 - 10 inclusive. There values are expressed both as per cent of lecithin in milk and as per cent of lecithin in fat. As 53. has already been stated the arithmetic mean of these lecithin vglues was found to be 0.046 per cent for the former and 0.97 per cent for the latter. The oxidized flavor is also given in these tables. A study of the tables shows that oxidized flavor sometimes developed regardless of whether the milk or fat had a high or low lecithin content. A high or a low lecithin content did not necessarily indicate that a sample would become oxidized. The distribution of all samples according to the number of samples which.fell in the various class intervals of lecithin content in the milk according to the intensity of the oxidized flavor which developed in each is given in Table 13. The distribution according to the per cent lecithin in fat is given in Table 14. These tables show that oxidized flavor developed over the entire range of the lecithin percentages in all degrees of intensity. The weighted flavor averages given in Table 13 are graphed as the oxidized flavor line in Graph 1 and those in Table 14 are plotted in Graph 2. These oxidized flavor lines when compared.with the curves presented for the distribution of lecithin Show very little relationship between the oxidized flavor and the lecithin content of the samples studied. 54. w a +++ H u p 0.9+...

The relationship_2£_oxidationrreduction potentials £2. oxidized flavor. The oxidationrreduction potentials, or Eh values, for each of the individual samples of fresh raw milk was determined in duplicate by the use of a bright foil platinum.electrode and a saturated calomel cell. The EMF readings were made on a Leads and NorthrOp portable polentiometer and converted to Eh.values by resolving to a normal hydrogen electrode basis. The average of these values are recorded in Tables 1 to 10 inclusive, as previous- ly given. The trend of the Eh values throughout the different feeding periods with.the same cows is shown in Graph 3. The values graphed were obtained by averaging the Eh.values for'all of the samples onua particular day. The graph shows considerable fluctuation in the Eh values of the samples examined. The general tendency was toward a constant reduction in oxidationrreduction potential throughout the entire experiment. The same reduction.was Observed in the samples when the special group of cows were on pasture, as recorded in Table 10. Presented in Graph.3, also, is the oxidized flavor line. In this manner Graph.3 shows'both the average Eh.value and the average oxidized flavor value for the same sample of milk every day that samples were taken. Inspection of this graph indicates that little to no relationship between the oxidationrreduction potential of the individual milk samples and the develonment of oxidized flavor existed in this experiment. .T sin; 0 v» K315 .OA‘e-Ig 937-: 191550 E 090.... deEammema 9093.9 99 H0? 0 .90 .H 0.90.990 H9090 90H000049-20L940H90 900.0994099 mammaoeeHHmm _Ammahv ezmramwmwm we mmmmeoma .9.mmmmo M. , _ .. . .

Effect g§_fggd.gg;oxidized flavor development. The 48-hour oxidized.f1avor scores on the various samples of milk taken from the cows receiving the different rations throughout the experiment are given in Tables 1 to 10 inclusive. From. these tables it can'be seen that little relationship existed between the rations used in this experiment and the oxidized flavor which.developed in the milk produced, except in individual cases. Further analysis of the relation‘between these rations and the oxidized flavor may be found in Tables 15 to 20 inclusive. The rate of change in oxidized flavor after the first reversal in ration for each of the cows in the high and in _ the low fat double reversal experiment is shown in Table 15. Cow 7 is shown to have given milk which.developed a very badly oxidized flavor in.the previous period but at no time during the low fat feeding period which followed was the milk scored more than questionable after pasteurization and holding. The milk from.Gow 66 following the change in the ration showed very little change in the flavor which.develop- ed. The same was true of Cows 242 and 246. The milk from Cows 99, 101, and 218 showed an increase in the tendence to develop oxidized flavor than they were changed from.the low fat ration to the high fat ration. The milk from.Cow 171 showed an increase in intensity of oxidized flavor develop- ment on the reverse change in ration. 59. oanéoapmoea . douaoflno havoc, hno> +++ .3me @3333 oz I 333.8 Seam ++ ”Thoma a. mason mi .... ham 1. mangoapoonno no: no.» @3333 haponapmdn + .635 Eon who Hdmnobon c.3509 a. ... + .. + a .. .. +. .. .. a .. mam + ++ +++ + ++ ......

The table shows that when cow 7 was changed from a low to a high fat ration a change in intensity of the oxidized flavor which developed in the milk was noted on the reversal day; and that the intensity became very bad before the end of the feeding period. The milk from cows 66, 171, 218,and 246 is shown to have changed very little in susceptibility to oxidized flavor development. The milk from cow 99 is Shown.to have decreased slightly in the intensity of oxidized flavor developed when she was changed from.the high to the low fat ration. On the fourth day the flavor development had cleared up only to return slightly and then.disappear before the end of the feeding period. The milk from.cow 101 showed little change in flavor development after the change fromi the high to the low fat ration. It was about this time that the regular microscopic examination of the milk from.the various animals in the herd disclosed the development of mastitis in.cow 101 although her physical condition and. observation of the milk did not disclose the infection. The milk from.cow 242 showed an increase in the intensity of oxidized flavor developed when her ration was changed to the low fat level. The rate of change in oxidized.f1avor developed in the milk from.individual cows in the final low fat group was noted when this group was placed upon a ration in which corn 61.

This table shows that in the case of cows 99 and 101 previously giving milk free of the susceptibility to oxidized flavor, there was a tendency for the milk to develop oxidized flavor on the corn ration. The milk of cows 218 and 242, however, showed a tendency toward a decrease in the intensity of oxidized flavor developed, although the milk of cow 218 did not entirely lose the susceptibility to the flavor development. A summary of the experiment in regard to oxidized flavor and rations is given in Table 18. The flavor scores given are averages of the different samples taken during the specified period and were obtained by assigning each flavor score a relative numerical value and averaging these values. The table shows that the milk from.cows 7, 66, 99 and 246 had a tendency to develop a more pronounced oxidized flavor on the high fat ration.than on the low fat ration. The milk of cows 101, 218 and 242 developed a more intense oxidized flavor on the high fat ration after having been on the low fat ration for the first period but retained the same intensity of oxidized flavor development after the group had been returned to a low fat ration in the final feeding period of the double reversal trials.

The table shows the number of pounds of milk produced at the noon milking from which the samples were taken and the oxidized flavor score after forty-eight hours. The milk frbnxboth.the Guernsey and the Jersey was susceptible to the deve10pment of oxidized flavor and did not lose the susceptibility until after the cows were on pasture ten days. The other two cows gave milk which did not develop oxidized flavor at all. The distribution of samples which developed the various intensities of oxidized flavor according to the ration which the cows received is presented in Table 20. The weighted numerical average of the oxidized flavor development for Group 1 on the high.fat ration was 1.1 which.means milk of questionable oxidized flavor. The average for Group II on high fat ration was 2.2 which is slightly above one plus in oxidized flavor intensity. The milk from.Group I averaged 0.32 on oxidized flavor intensity while the group was on the low fat ration. Group II showed an average of 2.15 oxidized flavor development in the milk when they were on the low fat ration.

The first group composed of cows 7, 66, 171, and 246 is shown to have produced milk which developed a much lower oxidized flavor intensity than.did Group II composed of cows 99, 101, 218, and 242. This study shows that the individual animal played an important part in the intensity of the oxidized flavor which developed. Analysis of data presented by_means 9§_the correlation table. A study of Tables 1 to 10 inclusive suggested a relationship between the fat test of the milk and the per cent lecithin in the fat. Consequently, a correlation table was set up and the number of samples falling within the various class intervals tallied. The arithmetic mean of the per cent fat was found to be 5.049 per cent with a standard deviation of 1.661 per cent while the arithmetic mean of the per cent lecithin in fat was 0.9705 per cent with a standard deviation of 0.2697 per cent. The coefficient of correlation, which is the measure of relationship between two groups of figures, was figured to be -0.8248 and the standard error of estimate, which is the average of the deviations about the line of regression, was figured to be 0.9393. From this data the line of regression was determined and later corrected to original values. The corrected regression line followed the equation y=-5.08 x.+9.979.

This graph shows that as the per cent fat in.the milk increased there was a definite decrease in the per cent lecithin in the fat. The high coefficient of correlation in this study makes the line of regression quite significant. This study mdght seem.to indicate that there was only a definite amount of 1ecithin.produced in the milk regardless of the amount of fat. Another correlation table was made for the per cent lecithin in milk against the fat test. In this correlation the arithmetic mean of the fat test was 5.002 per cent with a standard deviation of 1.619 per cent. The arithmetic mean of the per cent lecithin in.milk was 0.0459 per cent with a standard deviation of 0.008 per cent. The coefficient or correlation, r, in this study figures 0.411. The standard error of estimate was 1.4764. The equation for the line of regression was determined to be y=85.217 x +1.174 when correct- ed to the original values. The line of regression of the per cent fat - per cent 1ecithin.in.milk correlation with the area of the standard error, the arithmetic means of the two conponents and their respective areas of standard deviations are shown in Graph 5. The graph.shows that with an increase in the fat test there is also an increase in the per cent lecithin in the milk. '72. A study was made of the relationship between the lecithin content of the fat, the lecithin content of the milk, and the pounds of milk which the cow gave at the milking from which the samples were taken. The correlation between pounds of milk produced and the per cent lecithin in the fat showed that the arithmetic mean of the milk produced was 10.72 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.898 pounds, The arithmetic mean of the per cent lecithin in fat was 0.9705 per cent with a standard deviation of 0.2715 per cent. The coefficient of correlation in this study was 0.4144 which was slightly higher than that of the per cent fat - per cent lecithin in milk correlation. The standard error of estimate was found to be 2.6372. The equation for this line of regression was y=4.297 x. +5.151. These data are presented in graphic form in Graph 6. There seemed to be a tendency for the per cent lecithin in fat to increase as the amount of milk which the cow produced increased. No significant correlation existed between the pounds of milk produced and the per cent lecithin in the milk. 054 gamma so momma amenzgm 4.3..

DISCUbSION gffect 2; high and low fat ration 22_lecithin content, oxidized flavor and oxidation-reduction potentials 2; the milk. There seems to be a lack of information in the literature on the subject of the relationship of the lecithin content of milk to the susceptibility of the milk to the deve10pment of oxidized flavor. The results herein reported on the effect of the soy been 011, which was used to increase the rat content of the ration in this eXperiment on the oxidized flavor, are in contrast to those of Prewitt (28). However, there was some difference in the type of basal ration used. In the high and low fat experiment herein presented the basal ration consisted of good quality alfalfa hay, beet pulp, solvent extracted soy bean flakes, bone meal, and molasses. The fat level was raised by the addition of soy bean oil in proportion to the fat content of the milk from each cow. Neither of the levels of fat in the ration used in this experiment seemed to effect the percentage of lecithin expressed either on the basis of'milk or of fat. The oxidation-reduction potentials fluctuated considerably throughout the high and low feeding trials, but as has already been pointed out the general tendency of the trend was toward a constant decrease. The peak potential reached 0.3296 volts and the decrease was gradual over the seventy-two day period until at the end a potential slightly above 0.20 volts was reached. The level of fat in the ration seemed to have little or no effect upon the susceptibility of the milk produced to 75. the development of the oxidized flavor. The oxidized flavor developed in many instances in milk produced on either ration regardless of lecithin content or oxidation-reduction potential, where it was pasteurized with 2.5 ppm.copper and then stored. The fact that oxidized flavor developed regardless of the oxidation-reduction potential of the fresh raw milk is in perfect agreement with the work of Webb and Hileman (46). Effect 93 _c_93_n_ _a__s_ the only grain in 3113 ration 3293 the lecithin content, oxidized flavor development, and oxidation- reduction potentials _o_f_ the milk. This type of ration seemed to have no effect upon the lecithin content of the milk which was produced, upon the oxidation-reduction potential, or upon the oxidized flavor development. Lecithin values and oxidation- reduction potentials fluctuated in a similar manner as they had fluctuated during the high and low fat ration feeding trials. The oxidized flavor develOped in the milk regardless of lecithin content or oxidation-reduction potential Just as it had in the previous low and high fat feeding periods. Effect 2; the addition gf_pasture 39 the ration upon the lecithin content, oxidized flavor develgpment, and oxidation- reductien potentials g;_th§_mil§. The lecithin content of the milk produced by the Special group of cows on both the regular dry balanced dairy ration and the ration supplemented by pasture was practically the same. The addition of pasture to the ration did not decrease the lecithin content of the milk nor did it cause a pronounced drop in the oxidation- reduction potential of the milk. The experiment was thought to have been extended sufficiently long to establish what effect tie pasture'would have upon the elimination of the 76. susceptibility of the milk to oxidized flavor development. However, the 10 days of pasture feeding was not sufficiently long to inhibit the develoyment of the oxidized flavor entirely. The lecithin content, oxidized flavor, and oxidation-reduction potentials g; the milk regardless of ration. The average lecithin content of milk as expressed on the basis of per cent lecithin in milk and per cent lecithin in fat was found to be slightly higher than that observed by other investigators although the range of these values corresponds very favorably with their findings. The slightly higher result may be explained on the basis of one or two facts. First, and most likely, is the presence and influence of mastitis upon the lecithin contents herein reported. This theory is based upon the statement of Horrall (21) that mastitis cows gave milk with much higher lecithin content than did normal cows. 0n the other hand the greater number of samples analysed and the longer period of time covered may have had considerable bearing upon these values. The oxidation-reduction potentials in every instance snowed a trend toward a gradual decrease with a high potential of 0.3379 volts and a low potential of 0.1335 volts. The individuality of the cow seemed to have more to do with the deve10pment of oxidized flavor in the milk than any other single factor. The latter contention is in agreement with the work of nasmussen and others. The fact that oxidized flavor seemed to develop in this 77. experiment regardless of ration when others (8, 6, 28) found that the addition of certain feeds would eliminate the susceptibility to this flavor from the milk may best be explained on the basis of difference in the rations used. Correlations. The correlations presented offer a special treatment of the data in an effort to establish a definite mathematical relationship between the lecithin content and the fat content, the oxidation-reduction potentials and the development of oxidized flavor. The correlation between the per cent fat and the per cent lecithin in the fat is quite significant showing a definite inverse relationship. In fact, the significance is of such magnitude that within certain small deviations the per cent lecithin in the fat might be predicted from the fat test of the milk by the use of the formula for the line of regression. The other correlations given.are somewhat less significant. 78. SUMMARY 1. One hundred and ninety-nine samples of milk from individual cows were analyzed in duplicate for lecithin con- tent, oxidation-reduction potentials, and oxidized flavor develOpment. 2. The lecithin content expressed as per cent in milk and as per cent in fat was shown to be subject to consider- able fluctuation over any extended period of time. Sixty- eight per cent of the samples were found to contain 0.0448 :_0.008 per cent lecithin in the milk, or as expressed in per cent lecithin in fat, 0.9705 :_0.2697 per cent lecithin in the fat. 2 I 3. The oxidized flavor develOpment in the milk was also shown to fluctuate throughout the entire experiment. 4. Neither the high nor the low fat ration used in this experiment was shown to have any noticeable effect upon the lecithin content of the milk or upon the oxidized flavor which develOped in the milk. 5. Corn, when used as the sole grain in the ration, caused no definite change in the lecithin content and had no detectable influence upon the susceptibility of the milk to the oxidized flavor. 6. The addition of pasture to the ration of four representative cows previously receiving a dry balanced ration was shown to have no effect upon the per cent of 79. lecithin produced. Two of the four animals produced.milk which did not develOp oxidized flavor either on the dry ration or after pasture was added. The other two animals were shown to give milk which develOped oxidized flavor on both the dry and.on the pasture supplemented rations. 7. Little relationship was found between the rations of the BXperiment add the oxidized flavor which developed in the milk. 8. Oxidation-reduction potentials of fresh raw milk from individual cows showed no relationship with the lecithin content or with the oxidized flavor which develOped in the milk after pasteurization. 9. Individuality or the cow was shown to be a decided factor in the lecithin content of the milk and the oxidized flavor which develOped. 10. A significant correlation was shown between the per cent lecithin in fat and the fat test of. the milk. The coefficient of correlation'28248 with a standard error or estimate of .9393 showed that within a very narrow range of deviation the per cent lecithin in fat was inversely pro- portional to the per cent of fat. 11. The correlation between the per cent lecithin in milk and the fat test or the milk showed a coefficient of .4110 and a standard error of 1.4764. This shows that the per cent lecithin in milk was directly preportional to the fat test although not so significant as the previous correlation. 80. 12. The correlation between the pounds of milk pro- duced at the noon milking at which time all samples were taken and the per cent lecithin in the fat showed a coeffi- cient of correlation of .4114 and a standard error of estimate of 2.6372. 13. No correlation was found to exist between the pounds of milk and the per cent lecithin in milk. 14. There was no relationship between the lecithin content of the milk and the oxidized flavor develOped. Oxidized flavor develOped in milk of either high or low lecithin content. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 81. LITERATURE CITED Anderson, J. A., Hardenberg, J. 3., and Wilson, L. T. 1936.
