LED's in retailers’ milk display cases can help to preserve milk's flavor
LED lights in retailers’ milk display cases do more than just reduce energy bills. They also help milk taste better, according to researchers at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg.
The exposure to certain light changes the flavor profile of milk. Milk fresh from the dairy should taste sweet and rich but when people describe milk that was exposed to conventional fluorescent lights, they used words like “cardboard,” “stale” and “painty.”
