The Oxidation of Vanillin by Unheated Milk

Abstract
The action of raw milk on vanillin which renders it reactive with 2,6-dibromoquinonechloroimide appears to be due to oxidation of vanillin to vanillic acid by xanthine oxidase. This reaction seems suitable as a method for determining xanthine oxidase activity and for assessing heat treatment of high heat nonfat dry milk.
