Hi:

 

Let’s say the following Sci-Fi scenario occurs:

 

A sample of fresh, raw [un-pasteurized, un-heated], annatto-free, preservative-free, carrageen-free, carrageenan-free, polysorbate-free, purely-natural, disease-free, completely-organic milk of a healthy happy Jersey cow [who grazes solely on natural, organic, healthy, pesticide-free pasture] is gently pumped into a hypothetical container that is eco-friendly, health-friendly, air-tight, vibration-proof and does not affect the affect the smell, chemistry, appearance, or other aesthetic qualities of the milk. The tubes connecting the cow’s udder to the container are also eco-friendly, health-friendly, air-tight, vibration-proof and do not at all affect the aesthetics of the milk.

 

The aforementioned hypothetical container lets in only the following organisms:

 

1. Any and all types of bacteria [including photosynthetic bacteria]

2. Any molds not classified as mildew [including slime molds]

3. Any microscopic fungi not classified as mildew [including yeasts]

 

Any organism that is not any of the above cannot enter the container.

 

In terms of light, the container and tubes let in any wavelength from the longest wave near-infrared to the shortest-wave near-ultraviolet [this obviously includes visible light]. Light outside this range cannot enter the container or tubes and hence will not affect the milk.

 

The container is kept in an area where it can receive direct sunlight daily. The climate is warm and humid like the tropics.

 

A year passes by. What perceptible changes would occur to the milk [if it can still be called “milk”]? What would it smell like?

 

 

Thanks,

I think it would better be called "buzzword cheese", and smell thoroughly disgusting. If oxygen is allowed in it should be fairly composted by a year.

Here's the deal. Oxygen is not directly allowed into the container but can be produced by the photosynthetic bacteria that are allowed into the container.

 

Anyways, I'd like to try some of this "cheese".
