DRIED MILK POWDER: VI. THE EFFECT OF GAS- AND VACUUM-PACKING ON KEEPING QUALITY
Keyword(s):
Skim (1% fat) and whole (26, 28, and 30% fat) milk powders (2% moisture) from two plants were packed in air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, 80% carbon dioxide and 20% nitrogen, 20% carbon dioxide and 80% nitrogen, and under vacuum, and stored for 12 months at 80° F. Quality was assessed by a tasting panel of 14 persons. Packing in an inert gas or under vacuum effected a general improvement in the quality of skim-milk powders. This was attributed to removal of volatile degradation products during the packing process and early storage. The storage life of whole milk powders was increased from a maximum of three months when packed in air to nine months when packed in inert gases or vacuum.
