Across
- 2. Category of rapid receiving tests used at processing plants to grade raw milk quality.
- 4. Chemical process by which alcohol strips water from milk proteins to mimic heat stress.
- 9. Chemical property that increases as milk sours, lowering its thermal resistance.
- 11. Result indicated by smooth milk with no visible change, confirming heat stability.
- 12. Action required by a dairy dock inspector when a milk sample forms visible curd on boiling.
- 13. Physical state that milk proteins transition into when heated under high acidity.
- 14. The standard volume in milliliters (mL) of milk pipetted into the test tube for Exercise 8.
- 15. Type of organic acid produced by bacteria that destabilizes milk proteins as it sours.
- 18. Early lactation milk rich in immunoglobulins that causes non-acid coagulation when heated.
- 19. The volume in cubic centimeters (cc) of both milk and alcohol added to the tube.
Down
- 1. Key operational advantage of the alcohol test over the clot-on-boiling method.
- 2. Interpretation of a test showing coagulation, flakes, or precipitation on the tube wall.
- 3. Udder inflammation that increases milk mineral concentration and causes heat instability.
- 5. Type of alcohol mixed in equal volume with raw milk during the assay.
- 6. Principal milk protein fraction that precipitates during souring and thermal stress.
- 7. The concentration percentage of ethyl alcohol reagent specified in the laboratory protocol.
- 8. Small to large coagulated particles appearing on the tube wall during a positive reaction.
- 10. Physical motion used to mix equal parts of milk and alcohol in the test tube.
- 16. Coagulated mass of protein formed when unstable milk reacts with the alcohol reagent.
- 17. Thermal condition of the water bath maintained during the 5-minute incubation period.
