Milky chemistry, part 1
"The most sincere form of love is love for food," not my opinion,It's Bernard Shaw's opinion. Who would'nt like food? Now shall we discuss some food chemistry? I think its better to start discussion with milk (the first food of any mammal). Milk and honey are the only articles of diet whose sole function in nature is food. Milk is an apt example for oil in water emulsion. 87% of milk is water. he he he, in addition to this people add some more water to cheat us.:-D.. Have you ever seen a label 'toned milk' in milk packets? Anybody? Next time you just note it.. Actually this toned milk means a mixture of pure raw milk, water and milk powder..If commoners add water to milk, its cheating. But if a multinational company do this ,its called toned milk..This is what called as socialism. Shall we start our milky chemistry with a magic? Magic is a close friend of chemistry. Chemistry in its childhood was known under the name alchemy.Early days of alchemy was nothing but magic. Before starting the magic show i should like to say my reference is http://chemistry.about.com Ya lets start the show. Take a glass of milk. Everybody , please be fast. Got it? Ok, then we want some food colours..If its not there in your house, go and get it from a bakery or coolbar. Put a very little quantity of that colour in milk. You can see the colour is neither spreding nor dispercing. Now let see what happens if some detergent powder is added to .It will be a feast and treat for your eyes.I am sure you will be shocked to see the magic created by an invisible painter. Colour will start spreading and will start dancing.. What is the chemistry behind this? Detergent break down the proteins and also will reduce the surface tension.Reaction with detergent and protein creates all this magic.This experiment is a proof for rich protein content in milk.( dont forget to do the experiment, its really amazing).
