Freezing milk bulk tank

Hi, Milk Fans

If your bulk tank is freezing it’s set too cold and you stand a chance of developing rancidity in the milk.  This is because the formed ice crystals puncture the fat globules, releasing lipase.  Be sure to not switch the tank on too early - some people like to do this to give the tank a “running start”, before the milk is pumped in.

When the milk freezes, it also concentrates the milk solids, making the milk sweet and increasing the viscosity.

Kind regards,

As we are on the topic of Milk and Freezing, any experience of freezing points of “genuine ” milk. Is it 520 or 512 degrees C ? At what point does one assume that there is some excess water added ?

Hi, Bainne

The freezing point of milk is at -0.512°C. For every thousandths of a degree celsius closer to zero, we accept .2% water added, e.g. -.0510°C would have 0.4% water added.

Does this mean a sample with a freezing point between -512 & -520 has no excess Water?

Hi,

According to law yes ;-)

If you start off with milk having a freezing point of -0.535°C then some water can be added undetected, but this will affect payment to a farmer by lowering fat and protein. Added water can be compensated for by adding salt or milk/whey powder and the penalties are low. That is until the tax man steps in, because by adding water you are not selling real milk and you can be held liable for tax/litre sold - and if they suspect that you have always had this practice in your factory, they will go after you and hurt you.

Kind regards,
