Permeate and retentate (concentration factor ca. 2x) from UF of skim milk were combined, and cream was added to produce skim milk (0.1% fat) and 1% milk with a range of true protein contents (1.0 to 4.8%) within each fat level. A panel that had been trained for descriptive sensory analysis evaluated the appearance, aroma, flavor, and textural attributes of milks. Relative viscosity and Hunter color values for whiteness (L value), greenness to redness (a value), and blueness to yellowness (b value) increased when either protein or fat was increased. The rate of change of L, a, and b values as protein content changed was greater for skim milk than for 1% milk and was greater as protein contents decreased. Sensory scores for several descriptors of appearance, texture, and flavor had a stronger positive correlation with objective measurements of whiteness than with objective measurements of viscosity. Thus, the judgment of panelists about milk texture and flavor in milks that differed in protein content was influenced more by appearance than by viscosity. As the protein content of skim and 1% milk was increased from 2.9 to 4.8% true protein, the sensory properties of the milks were made more like those of higher fat milk, particularly those of skim milk, mainly because of whiter appearance. Panelists perceived changes in the sensory characteristics of both skim and 1% fat milk when the true protein content was increased by 0.9%, the smallest increase that was studied in the experiment.
