Use: test for screening, rapid assessment of acidity.
Advantages: quick, cheap.
Alternatives: Clot on Boiling (COB) test, Acidity test
Principle:
Proteins in milk that has become sour (i.e. because of lactic acid formation) will
coagulate when mixed with alcohol.
Interpretation
Milk containing more than 0.21% acid and milk that is abnormal (e.g. colostrum
or mastitis milk) will not pass the test. This milk is not fit for further processing.
