    Study Notes

    Cream Separation Process

    • The key objective of the cream separation process is to separate milk fat from skim milk.

    Importance of Fat Separation

    • Understanding the basics of fat separation is crucial for an optimal de-creaming process.

    Properties of Milk Fat

    • The specific density of milk fat is 0.93 g/cm³.

    Natural Creaming

    • Natural creaming has no industrial significance because it is a slow process that requires a long period of time.

    Principle of Cream Separation

    • Cream separation is possible due to the difference in specific densities between milk fat (0.93 g/cm³) and skim milk (1.03 g/cm³).
    • The differences in densities allow for cream separation based on gravity or centrifugation.
