Effect of Fluorescent Light on Flavor and Riboflavin Content of Milk Held in Modified Half-Gallon Containers1

Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the ability of aluminum and oriented polypropylene film to protect milk in half-gallon polyethylene containers from light radiation and thereby stabilize it from light-induced off-flavor (LIOF) and riboflavin loss. Both films, applied to the major portion of the outer surface of the containers, protected milk from light radiation better than when applied only to the container top.
