What is a full cream milk?

full cream milk is not a skim milk that has not been
reconstituted with fats.
Full-cream milk is whole milk - milk that has had its cream
blended in and homogenized, not milk that has been separated from
its cream and sold as low fat, skim, reduced fat, nonfat, 1%, or
2%. Whole milk is about 3.5% milk fat
Asked in Whipping Cream
How do you make whipped cream with milk?

Whipped cream is not made directly from milk, and it is not
possible to make whipped cream with homogenized milk purchased at
supermarkets. Milk will froth and foam, but it does not have enough
fat to form whipped cream.
One needs heavy cream to make whipped cream. Heavy cream is
separated from non-homogenized milk. When fresh milk is left to
stand, the cream will rise to the top, where it can be skimmed off.
This cream is further concentrated into the "heavy cream" or
"whipping cream" that can then be whipped into whipped cream.

Is whole milk the same as full cream milk?

Whole Milk and Heavy Cream are very different in Nutritional
Content.
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 131 defines
Heavy cream (36% or more butterfat)
Half-and-Half (10.5 to 18% butterfat)
Whole milk (about 3.25 to 3.5% buttermilk).
Below is a comparison between one cup Whole Milk and
one cup Heavy Cream
Heavy cream has 679 more calories than whole milk.
Heavy cream has 81 gm more fat than whole milk.
Heavy cream has 50 gm more saturated fat than whole milk.
Heavy cream has 305 mg more Cholesterol than whole milk.
Whole Milk has 5 grams more Carbohydrates than Heavy Cream.
Whole Milk has 12 grams more Total Sugar than Heavy Cream.
1 cup Whole Milk equals
149 Calories; 48% Calories comes from fat; 8 grams Fat; 5 grams
Saturated Fat; 24 mg Cholesterol; 12 grams Carbohydrates; 12 grams

Whole milk contains about 3.5% buttermilk.
1 cup Heavy Cream equals
828 Calories; 97% Calories comes from fat; 89 grams Fat; 55
grams Saturated Fat; 329 mg Cholesterol; 7 grams Carbohydrates;
trace Total Sugars
Heavy cream has at least 36% butterfat and can easily be
whipped. The higher the butterfat content, the less beating is
required to get whipped cream
"In the UK, full cream milk is the same as whole milk. Whole
milk/full cream milk comes in a silver-topped glass pint bottle, or
a blue topped plastic bottle."

Asked in Solid State Physics, Biotechnology
Why does the density of milk increase when cream is separated from it?

The density changes due to differences in the density between
cream and milk. Cream is lighter than water and milk is heavier
than water. The average density of whole milk could be close to
1.024g per liter. When the cream is removed, the density of the
milk goes up to about 1.036g per liter, while the density of the
cream is about 0.968g per liter.
Asked in Skim Milk
How much butter added to skim milk will make whole milk?

You can't add butter to skim milk and make whole milk. What is
missing from whole milk is the cream. Butter is made from cream -
the two are not equivalent. But...you can add the following
'creams' to 1 cup of skim milk. 1 1/2 teaspoons heavy cream + 1 cup
skim milk = 1% milk
1 Tablespoon heavy cream + 1 cup skim milk = 2% milk
2 Tablespoon heavy cream + 1 cup skim milk = whole milk Heavy
cream has 36% and 40% milk fat (The initials m.f. will be printed
on carton.) 1Tablespoon light cream + 1 cup skim milk = 1% milk
1Tablespoons + 2 teaspoon light cream + 1 cup skim milk = 2%
milk
3Tablespoons light cream + 1 cup skim milk = whole milk
Light cream has 18%-29% milk fat.
