Advertisements
Solution
Cream is separated from milk by the process of centrifugation. It is the process of separating the suspended particles from a liquid. The mixture is rotated at high speed in a centrifuge.
When milk is centrifuged, the cream and skimmed milk are separated. Cream, being lighter, starts floating on the skimmed milk and hence, can be separated.
