ABSTRACT
To determine the relative importance of lactose caramelization in the browning of evaporated milk, uniformly labeled lactose was added to milk samples before sterilization. The CO2 produced in the browning reaction was recovered as BaCO3 and its specific activity was determined. It was found that about 4% of the total CO2 produced by sterilization of milk at 242° F. for 15 min. can be traced to caramelization of lactose.
