Question
I have goat milk powder that has turned yellow. I store it in a clear sachet. Why did it turn yellow, and is a clear sachet suitable packaging? I understand that ingredients like B12 and goat milk can be affected.
Answer
Based on the conversation:
- Goat milk degradation: The staff mentioned that goat milk can range from white to yellow. Exposure to moisture can increase yellowness, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's spoiled. Storage should avoid moisture as much as possible.
- Using a clear sachet for moisture protection: Cosmeceutical7 explained that a clear sachet might help with moisture but cannot block light. Both moisture (air) and light are factors that can accelerate ingredient degradation. The best storage protects against both.
- Factors causing ingredient degradation: The main factors discussed here are moisture (from air) and light, which can accelerate the degradation of ingredients, including B12 and goat milk.
Therefore, a change in goat milk color to yellow might be due to moisture but doesn't always mean it's spoiled. Using a clear sachet helps with moisture but not light, and light is also a significant factor in degradation.
