A Quantitative Study of Heat Labile Sulfides of Milk. I. Method of Determination and the Influence of Temperature and Time

Studies on the heat volatile sulfides of milk have assumed especial importance since relatively recent work has been reported indicating that the liberation of these sulfides and the formation of sulfhydryl groups may be closely allied with the production of the cooked flavor The results secured in these various sulfide studies have been based largely on qualitative determinations. Therefore, it was for the purpose of securing quantitative data dealing with (a) the heat labile sulfides of milk and milk products and (b) with the factors influencing these sulfides that the experiments reported in this series of papers were conducted.
