Constituent Balance of Milk

Skim milk is prepared by the removal of some of the fat from whole milk. This skim milk is found to contain 90.5%
water, 3.5% protein, 5.1% carbohydrate, 0.1% fat and 0.8% ash. If the original milk contained 4.5% fat, calculate its
composition, assuming that fat only was removed to make the skim milk and that there are no losses in processing.

if given :m skim milk =100 kghence :m skim milk fat =0.1 kgm skim milk water =90.5 kgm skim milk protein =3.5 kg
m skim milk carbohydrate=5.1 kgm skim milk ask =0.8 kgmoriginal milk fat =( x+ 0.1 ) kgmoriginal milk =( 100+ x ) kg

x +0.1 x+ 0.1
since:% original milk fat =4.5 %% original milk fat = then: =4.5 %=0.045
100+ x 100+ x

x+ 0.1 4.4
solve for x : =0.045 x +0.1=( 0.045 )( 100+ x ) x +0.1=4.5+0.045 x0.955 x=4.4 x=
100+ x 0.955
x=4.60732984293kg
moriginal milk =( 100+ x ) kgmoriginal milk =( 100+4.60732984293 ) kgm original milk =104.60732984293 kg

hence ,the composition of the original milk is:% original milk fat =4.5 %
90.5 kg
% original milk water = ( 104.60732984293 kg )
( 100 )=86.514014 % ≈ 86.5 %

=(

% original milk protein ( 100 ) =3.34584584585 % ≈ 3.3 %

5.1 kg
=(
104.60732984293 kg )
% original milk carbohydrate ( 100 )=4.87537537538 % ≈ 4.9 %

0.8 kg
=(
104.60732984293 kg )
% original milk ash (100 )=0.76476476476 % ≈ 0.8 %
