ABSTRACT
About twenty years ago Grindrod (3) patented a process for dialyzing unsterilized, eveporated milk, and claimed that the removal thereby of 10 percent of the salts resulted in greatly improve flavor and color. He indicated that the calcium, citrate, and phosphate ions in exess were detrimental to flavor and color, although his evidence to prove this point was not conclusive. Kass and Palmer (5) showed that citrates and phosphates catalyze the color development or caramelization reaction but they did not study flavor. The claims of Grindrod for flavor improvement prompted us to investigate further the relation of dialysis to heated flavor development.
In checking Grindrod's claims it was found that dialyzing forewarmed or evaporated milk did result in a decrease flavor when the milk was sterilized. However, when the milk was reconstituted with respect to eight known constituents, for which analysis had been made, no improvement in flavor resulted when the milk was sterilized.
