Milk loses its smell when near fluorescent light

Milk smelling? This is due to the light at the milk bar at the supermarket. Milk stored in a translucent paper box a few centimeters away from fluorescent light emits 2-4 hours of oxidizing odor and an unpleasant smell within 12 hours, said Professor Robert Marshall of the University of Missouri, USA. .

Fluorescent light at the milk stalls creates an odor that is hard to smell in milk that experts call " burning smell ". The closer the milk carton is to the light and the longer it stays there, the more strange the smell will appear.

Although oxidation has little effect on the nutritional value of milk and is not related to bacteria, fluorescent light remains inactivated by vitamins B2 and C. However, all milk will not be affected. because it has a high fat content that prevents the action of light waves.

The milk in the clear glass will lose the smell faster than the milk in the translucent paper box, and the sealed paper box will completely eliminate the problem.
