What percentage of whole milk is fat when compared on a dry matter basis? A About 50 percent B Exactly 100 percent C About 25 percent D About 10 percent
*C About 25 percent
The correct answer is A, about 50 percent.
When comparing on a dry matter basis, milk fat makes up about half of the solid content in whole milk, which is typically around 12% solids. Therefore, the fat content of whole milk on a dry matter basis is around 6%.
It’s important to note that this is different from the percentage of fat in whole milk when measured on a weight/volume basis. This is typically around 3.5%, as milk is about 87% water.
