A Chart to Aid in Scoring Milk Flavor

Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station, Stillwater, Oklahoma

ABSTRACT

In the summer of 1933, a project was inaugurated at the Oklahoma station to study certain phases of the question of flavors in milk. At the outset it was recognized that work of this nature depended to a considerable extent on the accuracy of the scores accorded the milk samples. It was further realized that the scoring of milk can not give wholly exact and uniform results but is subject to considerable variation among individual judges. Even a given judge, though entirely proficient, is by no means infallible in such a delicate matter as the evaluation of milk flavor.

In contemplating the procedure to be employed in obtaining the milk scores in this project two alternatives presented themselves. On one hand, there was the possibility of using as judges two of the staff members who had acquired considerable experience in scoring and judging work. On the other hand, there were four additional staff members available who could assist the two experienced men.
