Freezing point of goat’s milk

Posted on April 13th, 2006 by Leon the Milkman.

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,
