Summary Seasonal differences occur in the freezing point depression (Δ) of milk produced in Tennessee, A larger Δ occurred in the colder months of the year than in the summer and early fall of 1963 and 1964. Weather conditions were of more significance in the fall and spring than in winter and summer. High temperatures and high vapor pressures were associated with smaller Δ's. The Δ between herds was statistically different, but this difference could not be attributed to the breed of cow in the herd. Producers whose milk had a small average Δ had, in many cases, a great deal of variation in their Δ's. The relationship between quantity of milk sold per producer and Δ is, at most, very slight.

The relationship between water and activated sludge components was examined. Reevaluation of published data on freezing point depression, drying rates and dewatering has been performed. The basis of this has been the assumption that the water/sludge relationship is considered to be a colligative effect. Since the results indicate this to be the case, we suggest that the published concepts of “pools of water” are false. Data on swelling properties of EPS as a function of pH suggests that the colligative properties are largely determined by the counterions of charged polymers and surfaces.

The freezing point depression (FPD) of uvaia pulp with and without additives - 10, 16, 22 and 28% of maltodextrin (MD), was measured using a simple apparatus consisting of two major sections: a freezing vessel and a data acquisition system. The thermal conductivity of the pulps was also investigated as a function of the frozen water fraction and temperature using a coaxial dual-cylinder apparatus. Above the initial freezing point, thermal conductivity fitted the polynomial equations well. Below the freezing point, thermal conductivity was strongly affected by both the frozen water fraction and the temperature. Simple equations in terms of the frozen water fraction and temperature could be fitted to the experimental data for freezing point depression and thermal conductivity.

SummarySimilar, marked variations in the freezing-point depressions of jugularvenous blood and of milk throughout a day were observed in cows when drinkingwater was offered for a single, short period each day. Values for milk were found to agree more closely, however, with those for mammary-venous blood than with those for jugular-venous blood. It appears that milk is in osmotic equilibrium with the blood flowing through the udder continuously throughout the period the milk remains within the udder and not only during its formation, and that milk secretion causes a slight alteration in the osmotic pressure of fluids within the immediate locality of the mammary gland. Changes in the milk composition that occurred in association with the observed changes in freezing-point depression were consistent with a movement of water into or out of the udder in response to any change in the osmotic pressure of blood.
