Question

Name the method used for the separation of butter from curd.

Answer 1

Answer:

Separation of mixtures:

• The process of separation of different constituents of a mixture using physical methods is known as the separation of mixtures.

The separation of butter from curd:

Centrifugation:

• It is the process in which we use a rotating device that uses centrifugal force for the separation of the liquids of the mixture.
• In this process, the heavier component of the mixture goes away from the axis and the lighter component come towards the axis And can be separated.
• So, Centrifugation is the method used for the separation of butter from curd.

This method is based on the difference in densities of the constituents.

Conclusion:
Therefore, Centrifugation is the method used for the separation of butter from curd.
