Abstract:
Morning samples of bovine as well as buffalo milk were stabilized by activation of the naturally occurring lactoperoxidase (LP) system. In each case, the keeping quality of a stabilized sample was compared with that of a control. The 10 minute resazurin test was the main method used to analyze milk quality. The results show that good quality morning milk, stabilized shortly after milking and stored at about 30C° during the day, will last until the late afternoon. This method of milk quality preservation may be used to encourage diary farming by making possible the collection of more milk of high quality which in turn is a prerequisite for the increased manufacture of high quality diary products.
