One way to calculate water content would be to take a sample of the matter in question, weigh it, evaporate off the water component, and then weigh it again. The difference in weight divided by the original weight would be the portion of it which was water, I believe.

As I understand, the method geotechnical engineers use involves a machine squeezing water out of a sample. I haven't the slightest clue how that method works, if I'm even correct on that bit. I do know that their measurements for water saturation are volumetric in nature. Degree of saturation is given:

Sw=Vw/Vv=Vw/Vt*[phi]=[theta]/[phi]

Why the denser milk have more fat content than less dense milk?

Skim milk is about 90% water. Milk fat, which is in globules suspended in the milk, gives the milk a thicker, or denser, compositon than non-fat milk. Because milk fat has a lower density than water, the term 'dense' in this case refers to the thickness of the milk and should not be confused with the 'density' of the liquid.


Does evaporated milk foam?

It shouldn't be, evaoprated milk should be a smooth liquid. You may want to check the expiration date on the can if it is coming out chunky. Evaporated milk is milk with a good deal of the "water" removed, so it should pour out like a thick milk.

Micro organisms need water to reproduce, milk contains water and needs to be stored in the fridge to limit bacterial reproduction.Powder does not need to be stored in the fridge as bacterial growth is already limited by a lack of water.Sources (NZQA website)


Why does the cream content of milk vary?

If you are refering to raw milk, different breeds of cows will produce different cream or fat content and this will vary cow to cow in a given breed. Processed milk has different fat content for consumer preference.


What is the fat content of raw milk?

To find the fat content in milk, you have to curdle the milk, then drain it through a cheese cloth so that all you have are the lumps that look like cheese. Then you must weight those curds and the weight is the fat content. :)
