Inasmuch as the majority of infants are fed prepared milk mixtures which are stored for variable periods of time before being consumed, it seemed advisable to ascertain whether time, temperature, and exposure to air influences the composition of the milk fat with respect to the degree of unsaturation. For example, the question is whether the linoleic acid content in a given milk mixture is influenced by pasteurization, boiling, terminal sterilization, warehouse storage, shelf life, refrigeration, or exposure to air in the household. It was believed that subjecting cow's milk and proprietary milk preparations to a variety of physical conditions would supply information relative to the keeping quality of the fat in milk products that are used in infant feeding.
