Procedures for Making Acidity Determinations of Fluid Dairy Products

Report of the Subcommittee for Recommending Uniform Procedures, A.D.S.A.

ABSTRACT

Conclusions:

1. The modified spot plate test gives consistent results and is a relatively simple test to perform with only the minimum of equipment necessary.
   
2. The centrifuge test gives a high degree of accuracy and replicability. It requires more equipment and time to perform than the modified spot plate test but the necessary equipment is readily available in a dairy testing laboratory.
   
3. From the standpoint of accuracy, the subcommittee believes that the centrifuge test is the better test to use; however, from a practical viewpoint, the subcommittee feels that the modified spot plate technique can be used for most routine testing because of its simplicity and because its degree of accuracy is fairly good.
