Abstract
Alkyl dimetheyl benzyl ammonium chloride supplied by Onyx Oil and Chemical Co. is used in a modified Babcock milk fat test. This cationic surface active agent acts as a de-emulsifier making fat liberation easier with commensurate procedure deviation tolerances. Meniscus remover is used in measuring the fat volume and the results are in better agreement with ether extraction procedures than the regular Babcock test for milk fat. The test is applicable in analyzing raw, pasteurized, homogenized or chemically preserved milk of varying fat content.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
