Sunlight Flavor in Milk. I. A Study of Components Involved in the Flavor Development

Abstract
Samples of milk were exposed to sunlight and to monochromatic light of various wavelengths (424, 450 and 479 [mu]) for different time intervals. Riboflavin destruction, tryptophan destruction and the intensity of sunlight flavor development were related; maximum riboflavin destruction and flavor development occurred at 450 [mu]; O2 was necessary for flavor development; the flavor principle was nondialyzable.
