Effect of Various Dairy Packaging Materials on the Shelf Life and Flavor of Ultrapasteurized Milk

M. Simon 1 and A. P. Hansen 1

Raw milk from three different dairies (each a separate trial: 1, 2, and 3) was standardized to 2% fat and processed at 140.6, 129.4, 118.3, and 107.2°C (temperatures 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) for 2 s and packaged into six different packaging boards, [standard (A) milk boards with standard seam, juice boards with standard (B) and J-bottom (D) seams, barrier boards with standard (C) and J-bottom (E) seams and foil (F) boards with J-bottom seam], resulting in 24 different treatments. Standard plate count (SPC) was used to test for microbial quality, and taste panels were employed for flavor acceptability and difference in the milk stored at 6.7°C at 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 15 wk. Lipolysis was measured by standard procedures for acid degree value (ADV) of milk. Statistical analysis of taste panel data showed that the flavor of 14 milk samples deteriorated over time. The flavor of UP milk packaged in standard (A) and juice (B and D) boards deteriorated at a faster rate than UP milk packaged in barrier (C and E) and foil (F) boards. At wk 6, a slightly hammy or cardboardy flavor was detected for milk packaged in boards with standard seams (A, B, and C) and a slightly cooked flavor was detected for milk packaged in barrier and foil boards with J-bottom (E and F) seams. The hammy or cardboardy flavor intensified with storage time, and all of the cooked flavor dissipated at wk 10.

Milk processed at 118.3 and 129.4°C maintained the lowest bacterial growth rates, and milk processed at 107.2°C had the highest bacterial growth rates during 15 storage wk. More than 87% of milk processed at 118.3, 129.4, and 140.6°C maintained acceptable level of bacterial counts at wk 15. The extent of lipolysis showed that ADV of milk increased with storage time. The ranges of ADV for trials 1, 2, and 3 were 0.76 to 0.85 (from 12 to 22 wk), 0.39 to 0.51 (from 6 to 16 wk), and 0.53 to 0.60 (from 6 to 16 wk), respectively.
