Summary

For milk sterilized under partial vacuum in closed bottles the oxidation-reduction potential measured under nitrogen was markedly lower (—280 to —300 mV) than that of milk heated in bottles open to the air, measurements being made in air (+10 to —30 mV).

The Eh (under nitrogen) of commercial sterilized milk and of ultra-high-temperature short-time heated milk was in the range —200 to —300 mV and of the same order as that obtained in the laboratory for deaerated milk sterilized in closed bottles.
