Milk Can Be
Cooled Too Fast
VRIS scientists have com
pleted the first stage of re
search to get a precise answer
to the question: How fast
jnust you cool milk in a hulk
lank’
jidksfieds regulate the cool
mg rate of milk, usually stipu
lating it must reach 50 de
grees IP- in one hour. So far,
no research results are avail
able to support the hour cool
ing period, but it is judged
to be Within a safe time limit.
Fast cooling is costly, how
ler. and may cause a por
tion of the milk to freeze,
thereby possibly harming the
flavor. Slow cooling also has
its dangers: Bacteria multiply
much more rapidly at higher
temperatures and, if cooling
is too slow, the milk can de
tenodate noticeably.
AiRS microbiologist W D.
Schultze and dairy husband
man J W. Smith have taken

degrees They found that the
