Is making skim milk an example of solubility?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It can be argued yes because whole milk is an emulsion of milk and cream. Tiny fat globules are suspended (but not SOLUBLE) in the water solution of the milk solids, etc that make up milk. The fat will separate on standing - the "cream rises". Making low-fat and skim milk is separating out more of the fat globules, which were not dissolved in the milk.

How long does skim milk last in freezer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can freeze this for up to 3 months. Make sure there is enough empty space in the jug for expansion when the liquid freezes. You may have to open it and pour some of the milk out for this or the jug can split open from the pressure of the expanding freezing liquid. When you thaw the milk out (you will need about 12 hours for this in the refrigerator) make sure that you shake it before use as freezing can separate the milk a little, but this does not harm the milk.

Yes, I got them at the grocers today. If your grocer doesn't have them, you can ask him/her to order them because if one person wants them, many others do but won't ask for them.

Asked by Wiki User

no, milk gains you weight depending on how you use it. Right after working out you should drink milk because it has calcium and helps build muscle and stronger bones faster. Drink water to lose weight. It gives you lots of energy and decreases the amount you need to eat to be satisfied.

Why is skim milk homogenized?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Skim milk is generally produced on the same line as whole milk and other milk that have to be homogenised. Even though the fat content is so low (0.5% or lower), this can still form a layer if the product is unhomogenised and left to stand. Homogenisation ensures that the fat stays distributed in the milk.

Does whole milk freeze faster than 2 percent or skim milk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Skim milk has much less fat than normal milk (as you obviously know) and hence much more water concentration, and because fat cannot be frozen (because it is already a solid), the one with more water and no fat freezes much faster than the one with a higher fat concentration in it.

Can dogs drink fat free milk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dogs are unable to digest animal milk of any kind other than dog milk. It would destroy their digestive system. This is also true for anything with milk in it, such as chocolate. As far as I am aware, special dog milk is made that doesn't harm their digestive system. There is also dog chocolate and dog ice-cream.

Why you are using 10.94 ml of milk in butyrometer for fat analysis in milk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The buyrometer graduation is so calibarated each 1% of graduation in the buty rometer will occupy 0.125ml of fat.(i.e) the weight of the fat in the area is equal to v X D =Mass; 0.125 x 093 = 0.1125. If 1 % represents 0.1125 then 100 % will represent 11.25 g. The average specific gravity of milk is 1.032 so the volume of milk is to be taken to cent percent is 11.25 / 1.032 = 10.9 (i.e.) 11 ml

I think they're about the same.

.............

This girl conducted a science project that should answer this question in plenty detail: http://sciencefairprojectsreview.com/which-milk-spoils-fastest/

Basically, the quick answer is no.

Apparently the accelerated spoilage in lower fat milks has to do with the displacement of the fat to water ratio. Because of this, lower fat milks usually contain more lactose than higher fat milks. The more lactose there is, the faster the milk will spoil.
