Abstract - In the first section a review of the extensive literature on flavour defects in milk is given.
In the second section, the authors give the results of their own observations on milk from individual cows in the experimental herd of the C.N.R.Z. Jouy-en-Josas, during the years 1955, 1956 and beginning of 1957.
Oxidized, rancid and feed flavours were the predominant flavour defects. The influence of various factors including season, diet, stage of lactation and breed of cattle on the tendency of milk to develop these faulty flavours was studied
