Preference and Acceptance of Solids-Enriched Milk in Homes

Abstract
Studies were made to determine the acceptability of whole milk enriched with 1% solids-not-fat as compared to marked milk. The control product formulations tested had the following compositions: 4.0% fat, 8.5% solids-not-fat, 12.5% total solids and 3.5% fat, 8.5% solids-not-fat, 12.0% total solids. The enriched counterparts contained an additional 1% solids-not-fat. A total of 2165 individual preference observations were made. Of these, 1151 participants preferred the enriched product, 847 preferred the control and 167 indicated no preference. Based on a chi square analysis, these results indicated a highly significant preference at the P < 0.01 level for the enriched products. The microbiological keeping quality of both products, control and enriched, was satisfactory.
