Two methods are given for determination of TS and moisture contents of a wide range of liquid and solid milk products. Method A requires the use of sand as a drying aid; method B does not. In both methods a prescribed amount of sample is dried at a specified temp. (102±2°C) to constant mass....

The Babcock method (modified where appropriate) is described. It is suitable for testing the following products, provided that samples readily form a homogenized mixture when agitated: raw or pasteurized non-homogenized milk; skim milk, separated milk and buttermilk; cream (but not sour or cultured ...
