B. Coagulation Test

o.
rs e
Explain the coagulation test:
ou urc
The coagulation test of milk shows how the milk curdles in addition of acetic acid.
Adding acetic acid to milk and allowing to boil causes the milk to coagulate. This
is due to the presence of whey protein which is mainly composed of beta-
o

lactoglobulin.
aC s
vi y re

Also, when milk is acidified with acetic acid, the proteins reach their isoelectric
point, decreasing intermolecular repulsion and causing coagulation when heated.

C. Film Formation
ar stu

What is the composition of the film in the milk?

Milk film, also referred to as milk skin, is a sticky film of protein that forms on top
is

of dairy milk. The film is often caused by the denaturation of proteins such as beta-
lactoglubin. Skin formation does not usually occur in skim milk because of the absence
Th

of fats. Basically, the film of the milk is composed of fats and proteins.
