The white stuff floating in milk is bits of fat. There are a couple of reasons why this can happen:
- Poor homogenisation leads to flocculation (bits of fat clumping together and floating)
- Spoilage of milk (lowered pH breaks some protein bonds leading to lumps of fat)
Flocculation can happen easily in long life milk as the extended shelf life allows more time for fat globules to aggregate and stick together.
Although many of the substances in milk appear white when dry, none of them are actually white. Even titanium dioxide, one of the best "white" pigments, isn't white; it's clear. It appears white for the same reason snow appears white. Both scatter the entire visible light spectrum evenly. Further, white does not exist in the natural world. Rather, it is a construct of our eyes and brain.
Thus, fats, sugars, and proteins are all clear. Sugar in the sugar bowl and salt in the shaker appear white because their crystalline structures scatter the visible light spectrum evenly. Snow and clouds appear white for the same reason. Snow and clouds are made of water, yet who would claim that water is white?
All of the substances in milk are clear, except for vitamin A, which has a slight yellowish tinge.
So, why is milk white?
Milk appears to be white because the dissolved substances in milk scatter the entire light spectrum evenly - creating the optical illusion we call white.
Nothing makes the milk turn white - that is just how it naturally is produced.
Er. isn't milk usually white?
If you mean the "coagulated" stuff, that's curd (when you're trying to make cheese)
the drink is so hot that gases cause into foam
That's curds. It means the milk has gone bad and needs to be thrown out.
Because food coloring is less dense than milk
what makes milk white are you stupid why would you ask that this people are crazy
The protien in the milk.
milk
Bugs duhhh
if white stuff is floating in your turtle tank. you should take your turtle out of your tank.Then you should clean your tank out. Or you can go and by a filter @ united kingdom.Its on (MAINE.ST.THATS IN EAST ORANGE)
invent stuff like the lever and floating stuff
First of all,floating white candles don't exist.
It is semen which is emitted on orgasm and ejaculation through sexual activity.
Do you mean in your body or a milk carton? As I know from experience your body shouldn't be leaking white stuff. If it is a carton or container of milk it is O.K. as it will evaporate and reform around the container. Or it may be a hole.
In shortMilk is an white liquid, produced by the mammary glands of female mammals. The most common form of milk is from Cows, however other forms can come from Goats and Soya Beans. Milk contains a significant amount of Calcium, which helps young children develop.More details'''Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of female mammals(including monotremes.) It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborn mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. The early lactation milk is known as colostrum, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many diseases in the baby. The exact components of raw milk varies by species, but it contains significant amounts of saturated fat, protein, and calcium as well as Vitamin C. Cow's milk has a pH ranging from 6.4 to 6.8, making it slightly acidic.'''
yes that is normal, it is powered milk and white powered cheese
yes
Chocolate milk will rot faster then white milk
milk is not completely homogeneous rather it is an suspensionYes because although its a lot of stuff mixed together, you cant see all of the different things, all you see is white. xD
