Milk is mostly water but with a few additional substances so the boiling point of milk is very slightly higher than that of water. Milk is not a homogeneous substance - the proportions of water and fats vary from cow to cow, from species to species, from pasture to pasture and from season to season. Although milk producers do try to standardise, it is not comprehensive. As a result, there is no exact figure at which milk will boil (at standard pressure). It is likely to by about a 1/4 degrees above 100 deg C.

It can vary slightly depending to the individual cow, the breed, the time of day/season that the milk was collected, the type of feed that the cow received, and other factors.

However, the usual freezing point (or melting point) is about -0.54 degrees Celsius. In other words, just slightly under the freezing point of water.

Since milk is mostly water, its boiling point is close to that of water, which is around 100oC or 212oF. The exact value, however, depends on the atmospheric pressure.

since milk has water in it i'd say around the freezing temp of water (0 degree Celsius)

The freezing temperature of milk is negative .53 and .56 degrees Celsius. The freezing temperature varies by the species of cow and the type of diet the cow is on.

What causes milk to freeze?

I'm not sure I see what you're asking.. Freezing is what happens when I substance gets below it's freezing temperature - the temperature at which it becomes solid.


Does frozen milk thaw faster than frozen water?

In general, water with stuff dissolved in it has a lower freezing temperature than pure water. Milk is just water with stuff (fats, sugars, proteins) dissolved in it so it's freezing temperature should be lower than 0 degrees Celsius (the freezing temperature of water).Therefore, if you started with both frozen milk and frozen water at say -10 degrees Celsius and started slowly heating them both, the frozen milk will start thawing (melting) before the frozen water.


Does cow's milk smell after freezing?

No, cow's milk should not smell after freezing. However, colostrum may have a different smell to it than regular milk. This is just due to the antibodies in the milk, however, milk should not smell any different post freezing as it would pre freezing.

32 degrees Fahrenheit (or 0 degrees celsius) is the point of freezing.


How long does it take for milk to freeze?

Without knowing both the initial temperature of the milk and the temperature of the environment it is in, I cannot do anything but give a meaningless guess. I can assume that milk freezes close enough to the freezing point of water and that the latent heat of freezing is also close enough to water that neither is important (it can be calculated for water and assume the answer for milk is same).


What does milk have in it to make it freeze so fast?

The butterfat in milk basically 'doesnt' freeze, but the water in the milk is allowed to form ice crystals very fast as the butterfat particles move out of the way as it happens - you might have seen this - the milk freezes in thin layers as the butterfat content levels out.


When the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit is it warmer or colder that the freezing temperature of water?

The freezing temperature of water is 0 degrees celsius or 32 degrees fahrenheit so it is colder than the freezing temperature of water.
