Question

Which of the following method or process is used to get cream from milk?

• A. Distillation
• B. Separating funnel
• C. Sublimation
• D. Centrifugation

Answer 1

The correct option is D Centrifugation

Cream is obtained from milk by the method of centrifugation. The principle of centrifugation is that the denser particles are forced to the bottom and the lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly.

While making cream from milk, the milk is rotated at a very high speed. In this way, the denser particles settles at the bottom and the lighter ones float over the surface. Cream being lighter than milk, floats on the top.
