    The document outlines a gravimetric method for determining the ash content of milk by weighing approximately 5 grams of a prepared milk sample, evaporating it to dryness on a steam bath, igniting it in a furnace at 550°C or less until carbon-free, cooling the remaining ash in a desiccator and weighing it to calculate the percentage of ash. The method references earlier publications from 1940, 1945, and 1951 describing the ash of milk test.
