The destruction of vitamin C in milk under the action of light was studied in different containers. Brown glass bottles showed little destruction, green glass bottles considerably more, and wax impregnated cartons still more. Nevertheless, in the latter, twice as much vitamin C survived as in clear glass bottles.
