Answer Yes, milk is regarded as a mixture and not a pure substance. To be more specific, milk is a colloidal mixture. In a colloidal mixture, particles are suspended freely in the solvent.
In milk, the particles consist of fatty acids, proteins, mineral ions etc. in a solvent of water (constituting most of the solvent part).
Colloidal mixtures exhibit a typical effect called the Tyndall Effect. You can demonstrate Tyndall Effect in your room itself. Take a jar containing a mixture of milk and water in an approximate ratio of 5:1. Place it in your room and darken the room by turning off all lights and putting the curtains. Apply a focus of torch light on the mouth of the jar. The shine produced as such is called the Tyndall Effect, which is exhibited only by colloidal mixtures like milk, BLOODY ETC.
It is a mixture of many, many different substances.
it is a mixture so,it is not a pure substance

∙ 12y agoA pure substance contains only one type of molecules or atoms. For example sugar crystal is pure substance it contains only sucrose molecules. A common salt crystal contains only Na+ and Cl- ions in 1:1 ratio. similarly a Cu metal piece contains only Cu atoms in it. Where as milk contains different types of molecules such as water, protein's, fats etc. Therefore milk is a mixture.

∙ 11y agoit is not a pure substance but it's not a chemical compound either it's a homogenous mixture Ex. if you mix salt into water Ex. homogenized milk

Mixing salt into water isn't a good example here, because salt will dissolve into water to form a solution - which milk is not.

How is milk separated into it's different parts?
I am assuming that you mean fresh, straight out of the cow milK? Simple separation can be done by letting the cream rise to the top and skimming it off. The milk will still have some cream content (About 12-24 hours) Otherwise you use a separator...we never did it ourselves but knew other people who would run milk through the separator several times to get milk more in the skim range. If you interested in separating out the whey and lactose from the milk curds by adding lactic acid.

How many litres is in 1 gallon of milk?
Restating the question: How many kilograms does a gallon of milk weigh?Its roughly the same density as water or 1 kg/liter at 4 degrees centigrade.Since a gallon is 3.78 liters according to the milk jug.A gallon of milk will weigh approximately 3.78 kg.Accounting for milk fat and solids real milk will weigh slightly more. In the neighborhood of 3% more. (See the following).Specific gravity of whole cow milk (ratio of density of milk to density of water) varies among breeds and among cows within breed. For example, mean specific gravity of Holstein milk at 20 C/20 C is 1.0330 (range 1.0268 to 1.0385) and for Ayrshire milk is 1.0317 (range 1.0231 to 1.0357), while Jersey milk also has a mean of 1.0330 (range 1.0240 to 1.0369). [see Sherbon JW, Physical Properties of Milk, Chapter 8 in Wong et al, 1988].So lets say 3.9kg/ gal
