Water. The denser fats fall out of solution and sink. This makes the lower section of milk more dense and leaves the less dense water floating on top.

How can you get the cream from milk?

You need to start with full cream (whole) milk, allow the milk to stand in the fridge for a while, the cream will rise to the top, you will see it as a slightly darker layer, skim this layer off into a separate dish, you should get about an egg cup full per pint of full cream (whole) milk.


What does Creme de la Creme mean in English?

Literally translated: cream of the cream. It is a French colloquialism stemming from milk. Cream rises to the top in unpasturized milk and is considered the best part of the milk. The top layer of cream is skimmed off first, leaving some cream in the milk. The rest of the cream is considered a little lower quality, since the cream will have other parts of the milk in it. That top layer is the cream of the cream, or creme de la creme -- the best of the best. cream, the best of the best!


What is the skin on milk when it is boiled?

It is proteins from the milk that have become "sticky" from being heated and bond together to form a thin layer of protein on top of the milk. Apparently keeping the milk below 158 degrees Fahrenheit and using a lid can prevent this film from forming.

What is homignised?

Homoginisation is the process to make a chemical mixture same throughout. In respect to milk, homoginisation prevents a layer of cream from forming on top of the milk through a complex process of mixing and pasteurization.


Why milk overflows when boiled and not water?

Let's note some observations. When water is boiled, the liquid water gains thermal energy, becomes steam, comes to the top as bubbles and burst to go into the atmosphere. Similarly, when milk is boiled, the water turns to steam bubbles which move to the surface of the milk in the form of bubbles. But they cannot burst to the atmosphere easily because of the layer of fat on milk. The bubbles moving to the top continue to push the fat layer due to their kinetic energy. They cannot burst since they the pressure inside the bubble is less than that of the outside. When the fat layer surpasses the vessel walls, it results in the overflowing of milk. If you boil the milk after once allowing it to boil over or removing the fat layer, the boiling will induce overflow with lesser intensity when compared to that with the the fat present. The lesser boiling over takes place because of the remaining fat in the milk. Water does not boil over because it does not have any top layer which prevents the bursting of gas bubbles.

What is the Babcock Test?

The babcock test is a test used to determine the fat content of milk. It involves combining equal quantities of milk and sulphuric acid. All the components of the milk apart from the fat dissolve in the acid, leaving an aqueous layer (acid and all componets apart from fat) and a layer of fat on top. From this, the percentage of fat can be calculated.


What happen when milk is churned?

When milk is churned the less dense particles of the milk move towards the axis of churning (i.e, they form the top layer)and the more denser particles of milk settles at the bottom. In a mixture, the sedimented particles(i.e., after decantation) is called precipitate but in the case of mixtures after churning the sedimented particles are called pellet.The less dense particles that are on top(liquid state)is called supernate or supernatant liquid.
