Hi,
The freezing point of goat milk as determined by the method: Determination of the Freezing Point of Milk - Modified Hortvet Method, shall not be higher than -0.517 degrees Celsius ( that means closer to zero ).
Freezing point is used to determine if water was added to the milk. For cow milk this cut-off value is -0.512 degrees Celsius.
Talk later,
Leon the Milkman
