If fresh milk is left standing for 24 hours, the fat content will rise to the top making the high fat cream, leaving the low fat milk underneath. In homogenization, the whole milk is pumped at high pressure through narrow tubes breaking up the fat globules which then, as smaller particles, remain in the body of the milk. Homogenized milk is therefor a mechanical mixture.

∙ 11y agoIt is classified as a colloidal dispersion. Where elements are suspended in another medium and are evenly dispersed through that medium. Homogenization of milk involves mixing milk and milk fat(cream) under high pressure to more evenly disperse milk fat through the milk. It is still a colloidal dispersion.
*Note: Addition of some chemicals, colloidal agents, can aid colloids in maintaining a dispersion. Other chemicals known as flocculants aid in the collection of colloidal material into polymer chains which clump together and precipitate out of the fluid.

Determine if homogenized milk is a mechanical mixture or a solution?
Homogenized milk is a solution. Because in a solution the particles are evenly distributed. Where as in a heterogenized mixture they are not and you can see the different particles. Therefore homogenized milk is a solution.
Is milk a mixture solution?
milk is a homogenized mixture, that means it is made to look the same throughout
Is milk a mixture a solution?
milk is a homogenized mixture, that means it is made to look the same throughout
Is milk a mixture or a solution?
Milk is a Mixture and a Solution.Milk is both a mixture and a solution; By definition a mixture is a combination of two substances that are mixed together, and milk is a homogenous mixture (which is also known as a solution).
Is homogenized milk a mixture?
Homogenized milk is still a mixture. The milk still contains water, fat and other minerals such as calcium. Homogenized milk only looks instead of settling at the bottom of a glass.
Which type of mixture is non-homogenized milk?
It's something got to do with non homogenised milk and emulsion.
Is coffee with creme homogeneous heterogeneous or a pure substance?
Milk is considered to be both a mechanical mixture and a solution. Homogenized milk is a mechanical mixture because it includes milk fats suspended in a solution.
Is homogenized milk a compound or a mixture?
Homogenised milk is a homogeneous colloidal dispersion of the milk solids in the liquid milk. The colloidal particles are sized as per the requirements in high-speed colloidal mills. It is not a heterogeneous mixture.
Are there homogeneous mixture?
Yes. For example, homogenized milk is a homogeneous mixture
Is cereal and milk a mixture or solution?
Mechanical Mixture Cereal and milk are mechanical mixture because you have two or more different parts that can be seen with
Is milk a mechanical mixture or a solution?
i dont really know but you should try to look it up on google
Is milk a mixture a a solution or both?
milk is both a solution and mixture because milk can be mixed with cearel and when you at sugar it doesn't dissolve.so milk is both a mixture and solution. :)
