Sodium bicarbonate is a mild alkali which prevents the spoilage of milk in summer season. The milk gets spoilled due to formation of acid due to bacterial activity in summer. In summer the room temperature is favourable for bacteria for their quick growth. The acids which are produced by the bacteria are neutralised by sodium bi carbonate. The milk can remain fresh for longer hours.
