Synopsis

The book breaks down skimmed milk solids, showing what they are and how they’re used in industry.

It explains key components like casein, lactose, and albumin, and how they’re measured.

This edition compiles practical methods and results from early 20th‑century dairy science, outlining how casein, lactose, and other solids are extracted, analyzed, and applied. It blends chemistry, processing, and early industrial uses to help readers understand why skim milk matters beyond its dairy role.
  • What casein is, how it forms salts, and how it can be precipitated for industrial uses
  • How lactose is identified, quantified, and recovered from milk and whey
  • Analytical procedures for total solids, casein content, and lactose yield
  • Historical context on commercial uses in paints, paper sizing, textiles, and food

Ideal for readers of early dairy chemistry, food science history, and industrial applications of milk components.
