ADVANCE PREPARATION Supplies Preparation Milk Solution: This recipe makes a total of 4 cups of milk solution, or enough for 16 groups. Adjust the recipe if you have more groups than this. Add 1 cup of non-fat dry milk powder to 3 cups of water. Mix well. Fill pop-top squeeze bottles with about ¼ cup in each bottle. Label these bottles “milk.” Vinegar Fill pop-top squeeze bottles with about ¼ cup of vinegar. Label these bottles “vinegar.” Baking Soda Fill plastic cups with about 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Label these cups “baking soda.” Sticky Situation F - 38 Chemistry in the K–8 Classroom Grades 3–8 2007, OMSI SETUP For each group milk in pop-top squeeze bottle vinegar in pop-top squeeze bottle baking soda in plastic cup 2 empty plastic cups 1–2 plastic spoons 1–2 wooden craft sticks sturdy paper towel or coffee filter 5–10 scraps of paper At a central location (or with the teacher) several strainers for class to share towels and sponges for clean up INTRODUCING THE ACTIVITY Let the students Students will use milk and vinegar to create a glue that can stick speculate before paper together. offering answers to any questions. The What does glue look like? What does it feel like? Or smell like? answers at right are Glue is sticky. Some glue is liquid when you use it, but it dries hard. provided for the teacher. Some dries like a thin skin. Some glues are stronger than others. Some glues have a strong smell. Choose questions that are Are all glues the same? How are they the same? How are they different? appropriate for Glues are not all the same. Examples include: white liquid school your classroom. glue, clear or bluish school glue, yellowish liquid mucilage glue, solid glue sticks, strong-smelling industrial-strength glue, epoxy that must be mixed, fast-drying superglue, spray glue, hot-glue-gun gel sticks, yellow wood glue, slow-drying book-bonding glue, denture glue, etc. Why are there so many different kinds of glue? Each glue is designed for a different purpose. Each surface (paper, wood, cloth, glass, plastic, fabric) needs a different kind of glue to stick together. Some glues are permanent (super glue) but some are temporary (Post-it Notes, cereal boxes). Some glues need to be waterproof (denture glue). CAUTION: Students should never put lab supplies in their mouths. Even if lab supplies are foods, they may be contaminated by other items in the lab. Sticky Situation F - 39 Chemistry in the K–8 Classroom Grades 3–8 2007, OMSI TEACHER DEMONSTRATION Glue Show and Tell Bring a variety of different kinds of glue to show students. Discuss the properties of each glue and how it is specially designed for its purpose. You can also work with students to create categories for the different glues. Some examples are listed to help you get started.

Below are suggestions to help the teacher facilitate the activity. NOTES This handout is on p. F - 47. Running Suggestions When students mix the milk and vinegar together, they will notice a strong “sour milk” smell. This reaction is similar to the reaction that occurs when bacteria spoils milk, so it makes a similar smell. Test the experiment yourself with a paper towel or coffee filter. If your filter does not work well (it filters too slowly or it breaks), try other methods. Coffee filters are stronger, but also tend to filter slowly. Paper towels will filter faster but are weaker. To minimize messes, encourage students to do all their experiments on a cafeteria tray. You may want to have students answer questions and draw pictures on separate pieces of paper so they will have more space. Ongoing Assessment Encourage students to make careful observations of what happens to the milk as vinegar is added. Where do the solid parts come from? (The milk is changing from liquid to solid.) Is all of the milk changing to a solid? (No, some parts stay liquid.) Sticky Situation F - 41 Chemistry in the K–8 Classroom Grades 3–8 2007, OMSI Safety and Disposal All materials may be thrown in the trash when finished. Refrigerate unused milk solution and use within two weeks. CAUTION: Students should never put lab supplies in their mouths. Even if lab supplies are foods, they may be contaminated by other items in the lab.

The baking soda (a base) reacted with the classroom. vinegar (an acid) to produce a gas (carbon dioxide). Have you heard the rhyme “Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey…”? Have you ever eaten curds or whey? Most cheeses are made from the curds of milk. Cottage cheese is the most obvious example. Spoiled milk also forms solid curds. Whey is the liquid part of milk. Low-fat milk and non-fat milk have more whey than whole milk. What would happen if you change the formula (or recipe) for this glue? For example, what if you use less vinegar in the formula? Let students predict what they think will happen in different scenarios. The glue might be more sticky, less sticky, more liquid or more solid. The glue could dry really fast or dry very slowly. Record students’ suggestions for use in Extension A. This extension allows students to experiment in creating different glue recipes. Sticky Situation F - 42 Chemistry in the K–8 Classroom Grades 3–8 2007, OMSI EXPLANATION This background information is for teachers. Modify and communicate to students as necessary. In this activity, students discovered that milk and vinegar react to create a sticky solid. This solid can be used to make paper stick together. What’s in Milk Milk is a mixture of water, milk sugar (lactose), fats, protein, and small amounts of other nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. Milk is a special kind of mixture known as an emulsion since it has several components that do not dissolve in one another. The fats and proteins are in tiny droplets that are suspended in the water of the milk. Other emulsions students may be familiar with are mayonnaise and some salad dressings. Students can look on the ingredient labels for items listed with the description “added as an emulsifier” or “added as a stabiliser.” An emulsifier is anything added to make two liquids that won’t dissolve (like oil and vinegar) to stay mixed together. Separating Milk Protein The major protein in cow’s milk is called casein. Casein, like other proteins, has a three-dimensional shape that determines its behavior, its characteristics, and its properties. If the shape of the protein changes, then the properties of the protein will change. When the shape of a protein is changed, it is called denaturing the protein. Denatured proteins can look and act differently. One way to denature a protein is through heat. The protein in egg whites (called albumin) turns from a clear liquid to a white solid when it is heated. Another way to denature a protein is by adding an acid. When students add vinegar (an acid) to the milk, the casein in the milk changes its shape and becomes denatured.

  • CHEESE and WHEY: the Outcome of Milk Curdling
    foods Editorial CHEESE and WHEY: The Outcome of Milk Curdling Golfo Moatsou * and Ekaterini Moschopoulou Laboratory of Dairy Research, Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Iera Odos 75, 11855 Athens, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-210-529-4630 The present Special Issue is dedicated to both products of the cheesemaking process, that is cheese and whey. Cheese is an excellent and complex food matrix that preserves in concentrated form valuable milk constituents, such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, and biofunctional lipids. The formation of cheese mass requires the removal of whey, i.e., water and soluble milk substances—proteins, minerals, lactose, and vitamins—. According to Fox and McSweeney [1], cheese is the most diverse group of dairy products manufactured from a few kinds of milk by means of a protocol that is more or less common in respect to the first 24 h of manufacture. They suggest that cheese is the most interesting and challenging dairy product due to an inherent instability that results from a series of biochemical changes. Whey is the valuable byproduct derived from the cheesemaking process. Lactose and whey proteins are the main compounds of whey and the main reasons for its valorization, through the production of whey cheeses, functional/nutritional whey proteins concentrate, bioactive peptides, and oligosaccharides [2,3]. In the present article collection, two publications for the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese are included. Considering the demanding cheese making conditions and the long-term ripening of this cheese variety, relevant studies are of particular importance. Franceschi et al. [4] designed a two-year study in various cheese factories to assess the performance Citation: Moatsou, G.; of milk with high somatic cell count (SCC), i.e., from 400,000 to 1,000,000, when it is used Moschopoulou, E.

    Cheese Making with Powdered Milk Several People have asked for my recipe so I will post it for everybody who is interested...have more questions just ask! I will seperate the posts so they don't get too long,. It is easier than it looks and after once or twice you will feel much better about it. Shauna (Step by step instructions) ----------------- MOZZERELLA 1. Fill a large stainless steel pot with 1 gallon water and let it sit out overnight -(aluminum and teflon ruined by acid--must have non chlorinated water easist to achieve by letting it evaporate out overnight) 2. In the morning save out 1/4 cup water then reconstitute with powdered milk. (If using non- instant milk powder like the church's from cannery it will take 3 cups, instant milk takes 5 1/2 cups). Easier to do if pour out half of the water into a bowl and whisk vigorougsly or use hand blender in the pot then add water back in. 3. Let the milk sit on the stovetop at room temperature for at least 2 hours but less than 12. 4. Whisk or hand blender in 1/2 cup olive or canola oil and 2 tsp. citric acid powder ( Available at the Good Earth) 5. Dissolve 3/4 Rennet tablet in the 1/4 cup water you saved at the beginning ( available at Maceys) 6. Heat the milk slowly stirring gently with a stainless steel metal spoon to 88 degrees F using a good thermometer-I use a meat thermomter with an extra long probe 7.

  • Non-Fat Dry Milk Recipes
    Stocking up on Dry Milk By Diane Whitten, Nutrition Educator Cornell Cooperative Extension Saratoga County One of the grocery items people stock up on for emergencies is dry milk. If you have dry milk in your cupboard and you’re stuck at home, you’re in luck. It’s easily reconstituted into fluid milk for use on cereal, in your coffee or in any recipe calling for milk. It’s one of the most nutrient dense foods contain- ing protein, carbohydrates, lots of calcium, vitamins A & D, just to name a few. Typically, non-fat dry milk is available, but you can purchase whole dry milk, however it has a shorter storage life by half after opening. Non-fat dry milk powder will be good for 24 months when stored at 70℉, or up to 48 months when stored at 50℉. Refrigeration will extend the storage life further. This as- sumes the milk powder is stored in a moisture proof container, such as the original packaging, or in a sealed plastic or glass container after opening. Adding oxygen absorbing packets to your container or vac- uum sealing it will double its storage life as well. Dry milk should also be protected from light which can breakdown vitamins A and D, so if the container is transparent place it in another bin or paper bag. For longer storage, up to 20 years, purchase canned powdered milk that has been processed to remove the greatest amount of oxygen. As a beverage, mix up your milk a day ahead and refrigerate it, so it will be good and cold for drinking.

  • Natural Meals in Minutes with Rita Bingham Page 1 of 3
    Natural Meals in Minutes with Rita Bingham Page 1 of 3 Natural Meals in Minutes with Rita Bingham 3-Minute (Fat-Free!) Powdered Milk Cheeses Making cheese at home used to be an all-day process. Now you can have fat-free cheeses for salads, sandwiches or casseroles - ready in almost an instant! Nonfat dry milk, usually non-instant, is a good basic food to keep on your pantry shelf as a source of protein. If you are storing milk, 50 pounds of dry milk powder per person should be stored; over the period of one year, this amount would provide 22.2 grams of protein per day and could be consumed as three eight-ounce glasses of milk or ½ cup of cheese. The brand of non-instant milk I use requires three cups of dry powder to make one gallon of liquid milk. Adjust the recipes to the quantities given for your particular brand of powdered milk. Good-tasting whey from the cheese-making process can be used to replace water in nearly any recipe. The sweet whey changes the flavor of the finished cheese. Whey can be reused (in place of water) up to three times in making cottage cheese, resulting in a sweeter cheese with each use. The sweet cheese can be made into sweet dips and sauces for crackers and fruit salads. (Note: If you will get a stronger, less desirable flavor with each batch.) Uses for Homemade Cheese and Cottage Cheese Because most homemade cheese made from powdered skim milk have the unique quality of not melting, they are more versatile than commercial dairy products.

  • Curds Recipe
    Basic Curds for Fresh Cheeses The first bit of magic in making cheese is turning milk into curds and whey. Once you have these precious curds, you can make dozens of different kinds of fresh cheeses. Though there are many steps and some things that must be done exactly, there is still plenty or room for experimentation and creativity. Don’t be afraid to play around some after you make a few batches and get the hang of it. And don’t get stuck on just cow milk. You can use this recipe for goat or sheep milks too or blend different milks together. Prep Time: Equipment: 30-45 minutes of work Double boiler 2-10 hours of waiting Skimmer Ingredients: Thermometer 2 gallons milk (raw or pasteurized) Scale ½ pint buttermilk Long thin knife ½ tsp single strength liquid rennet or ¼ tsp of double strength Butter muslin 2 tbs – ½ cup mother culture or Spatula or large spoon 1 packet of direct set culture Colander 16-24 grams non-iodized salt Cheese mold (optional) Spices/flavorings (optional) Ripening: It is important that you lower the PH of your milk before coagulating with rennet. Raw milk will ripen and become more acidic quite nicely on its own. Pasteurized milk needs some help. It is possible to use lemon juice, citric acid powder or even yogurt, but I recommend using cultured buttermilk. 1. Add milk to double-boiler and heat until 85˚ F. 2. If using direct-set culture, follow instructions on packet for amounts and sprinkle on surface of milk. Allow to rehydrate for 2 minutes and then stir with skimmer using an up and down motion until fully incorporated.

  • Toasted Coconut and Vanilla Whey Protein Bars
    Toasted coconut and vanilla whey protein bars Ingredients 1/2 cup vanilla whey 1/4 cup of flaked coconut (try toasting your own!) 1/4 cup of coconut flour 1/4 cup of milk 30 grams melted 85% dark chocolate Nutrition Facts (Makes 3 medium-sized bars) Calories 212 Fat 13 g Carbs 8.8 g Protein 16.6 g Steps to Protein-Bar Mastery Making a protein bar at home could not be any easier. With these simple steps, anyone can master it! Step 1 Select your protein powder and add a type of flour to it. Makes sure to select a flour that can be eaten raw: coconut flour, almond flour, or a grain-based flour like oat flour or quinoa flour are all good choices. Step 2 Bind the powder and flour with milk. You can use cow’s milk, coconut milk in a carton, or a tasty nut milk like almond milk. If you want, you can also add nut butter. You want to add enough liquid, (and nut butter if you like), to make the batter come together like dough. The goal is to end up with a batter that you can form into bars with your hands. Step 3 Shape the above batter into bars. If, after mixing your ingredients, your batter is too moist or sticky to mold, add a tiny bit of coconut flour or casein powder until you get the desired consistency. You want to be able to shape the bars, so getting the batter dry enough is essential. If, after mixing your ingredients, the batter is too dry, add a bit of milk until you get the desired consistency.
