Why might a scientist prefer to use Universal Indicator rather than a different indicator like litmus?
Litmus only differentiates between acidic and alkaline solutions. It does not give an accurate value of the degree of acidity of alkalinity. Universal Indicator can help measure the pH of the given solution as it does not just change from red to blue and vice versa, but in solution has a range of colours.

How does litmus in the litmus milk act as a redox indicator?
Litmus milk medium is skim milk to which the dye litmus has been added. Litmus is both a pH indicator and a redox indicator. It is pink at pH < 4.5, purple in middle pH's and blue at pH > 8.3. As a redox dye, in the absence of oxygen (reduced state) it's colorless (white due to milk) and in the presence of oxygen (oxidized state) it is purple.
