TLDR
In this article, a colorimetric determination of lactic acid in milk and unsweetened milk products is described for the color-imaging of protein and lactose in milk.
Abstract
A method is described for the colorimetric determination of lactic acid in milk and unsweetened milk products. The protein and lactose is removed after precipitation with copper sulphate and calcium hydroxide at 45° C, the lactic acid in an aliquot of the filtrate is oxidized to acetaldehyde in sulphuric acid in the presence of copper sulphate, a purple colour is developed with p–hydroxydiphenyl, and the colour intensity is measured in a photoelectric absorptiometer or other suitable instrument.Recoveries of from 96 to 103%, averaging 100%, were obtained when 20–400 mg. lactic acid/100 ml. were added to fresh milk.The proposed method has an advantage over existing methods in the ease and speed with which large numbers of determinations can be carried out simultaneously whilst retaining the essential accuracy.

Bacterial fermentation of cheese whey for production of a ruminant feed supplement rich in curde protein.

TL;DR: A simple and efficient process for the production of a ruminant feed supplement, rich in crude protein, by bacterial fermentation of cheese whey has been developed, and 40 tons of concentrated product were produced fro animal feeding trials, without ever encountering putrefactive spoilage.

Criteria for Judging a True Rumen Organism and a Description of Five Rumen Bacteria

TL;DR: Five criteria from judging true rumen bacteria are set up: presence in numbers of 1 million or more per gram of fresh rumen contents, isolation of a similar type bacterium at least ten times from at least two animals, and production by the organism of end-products found in the rumen from substrates found inThe rumen.
