ABSTRACT
Conclusions: Evidence is presented to show that peroxidase in milk might be responsible for the quick conversion of ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid by added hydrogen peroxide. The data show that the reagent was not utilized for the oxidation of ascorbic acid in the milk heated to 76.6° C, and that the reaction could be induced again by the addition of plant peroxidase.
