ABSTRACT
- The effects of inhaling the odors from thirteen substances and ingestion of five substances upon the flavor of milk are reported.
- Inhalation of turpentine, paradichlorbenzene, camphor or vanillin caused flavoring of the milk characteristic of each of these compounds.
- Inhalation of benzaldehyde, onions and garlic caused a change in the flavor of the milk which was not characteristic of the compound.
- Inhalation of odors from corn silage, alfalfa silage and decomposing manure, produced "off flavors" in the milk.
- Inhalation of synthetic orchid or scrapings of Roquefort cheese produced no detectable "off flavor" in milk.
