Extract

The theory of the scattering of light in colloidal solutions is considered. As a result it is suggested that the reflectance changes in milk which involve a rise or fall in the general level of reflectance are caused by an increase or decrease in the mean size of the colloidal particles. Whether the particles responsible are the casein micelles or the soluble protein depends on the phenomenon to be explained.

The change in reflectance on the browning of milk, which is dependent on wavelength, is considered to have a more complex cause, involving the production of absorbing molecules.
