Separation technique used to separate components of milk

Answered by admin @



Heya !!

The components of milk include proteins, fats, carbohydrates etc. The casein is the most common protein found in milk and it can be separated from milk by the process of centrifugation When milk is centrifuged at very high speed pelleting of the casein  protein takes place and milk containing water , lactose and other proteins is left behind.

The fatty content of the milk i.e cream, and as it is lighter than milk, it can be separated from milk by centrifugation. Filtration can be used to separate solid cream from liquid milk.

Hope this information will clear your doubts regarding the topic.
