Radiation Preservation of Milk and Milk Products. III. The Thiobarbituric Acid Test as a Means of Evaluating Radiation-Induced Changes in Milk

Research on the effects of ionizing radiations on milk has been undertaken during the past year with emphasis on the study of the nature of the changes occurring in irradiated milk. From these studies a means of obviating undesirable reactions should be found, and ultimately the result will be the production of a high quality, radiation-sterilized product.
