Today we learned about the process of emulsion by making butter. Once our butter formed we then tried it on some English Muffins, which were delicious.<\/p>\n
Whoever told you that oil and water don\u2019t mix might not have considered the term \u201cemulsion.\u201d It is possible for tiny particles of two seemingly unmixable substances to suspend in one another like oil and water. This super scientific experiment demonstrates the magic of the invisible globule while bringing a yummy result to the table.<\/p>\n
Milk is mostly water with about 5-10 percent protein and fat globule. Cream is milk that contains closer to 15-25 percent fat globules. What is a globule? A globule is a super tiny membrane filled with fat molecules-think of a microscopic water balloon. Because these globules are so small and fat is lighter than water, it floats. This forms a \u201cstable suspension,\u201d a colloid. The bigger the globules, the slower it moves resulting in thinker milk or cream.<\/p>\n
When shaken, the globules\u2019 membranes smash against each other and break apart like bursting water balloons. The fat then spills out and clumps together with the contents of the other burst globules, which causes the freed fat to separate from the water. As this process continues, two new substances are formed: a solid (butter) and the remaining liquid (buttermilk)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
