Quick Answer about "Why did my whole milk go bad faster than skim milk?"

The different spoilage behaviours can be largely explained by greater proteolvsis in skim milk than in whole milk, caused by higher production of protease and greater susceptibility of the protein to protease attack.

Does whole milk go bad faster than skim?

There's been only one major controlled study on the spoilage rates of whole and skim milk, and it was fairly inconclusive. The milk spoiled at almost the exact same rate. The only major difference was that whole milk tended to turn sour and skim milk turned bitter.

Why does whole milk go bad so fast?

If the temperature gets higher than that, bacteria can start to grow in the milk, which is what causes the rotting and the smell. (Though, for what it's worth, you can generally leave milk out of the fridge for up to two hours without any serious issues.)

Which milk goes bad the fastest?

The data has proven that skim milk spoils the faster than the others. As long as the milk has a lower fat content, it will spoil faster than the higher fat content.

Why does fatter milk last longer than skim milk?

First, the rate of spoilage depends on how often it is in and out of the refrigerator. If the skim is out more often than the fat-containing milk, it would spoil faster. Second, because of the lack of fat in the skim milk, any small change in flavor is noticed more quickly then in fat containing milk.
