Summary

A scintillation counter was used to measure chemiluminescence (CL) from milk powder and reconstituted milk. Only a small amount of CL, just above the background level, was observed from powders, but reconstituted milks emitted easily measurable CL. CL from milk was stimulated by exposure to light and found to decline gradually but non-exponentially after the exposure ceased. CL was at a maximum immediately after the milk was reconstituted from milk powder. Without light exposure, CL then declined gradually but non-exponentially over several hours to reach a constant value related to the level of oxidation of the powder. When determined under standard conditions 60 min after reconstitution, CL of milk reconstituted from stored milk powders correlated well with peroxide values and oxidized flavour as assessed by a taste panel.
