What is milk made from?

Many people consider milk to be one of the best foods we eat. When you find out how many substances useful for your body are contained in it, you will understand why this is so.

One of the main components of milk is protein, which is necessary for strengthening muscles and restoring them after hard work. The other is fat, which brings energy into your body. This fat, as you might guess, is called milk fat.

If there are globules (small, ball-shaped, particles of fat) in milk, then butter can be made from it. Milk also contains sugar, a hydrocarbon that is another source of energy. It's called lactose. It is not as sweet in taste as sugar obtained from cane or sugar beets, but it is easier than all the others absorbed by the human body.

Milk supplies the body with important mineral salts. They are required by a person to strengthen bones and produce fresh blood. Especially a lot of phosphorus and calcium are contained in milk, and the latter is more in it than in any other food. In addition, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chlorine, iodine, cobalt and zinc are present in milk. And this list is by no means complete!

Milk also provides us with many vitamins. It contains a high content of vitamins B2, A, B1 and, in addition, C and D in minimal quantities. Of course, milk contains a lot of water. However, it is noteworthy that despite the fact that milk is a liquid product, it contains 110 g of solid matter for every liter.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Where did watermelons originate?

Almost everyone loves watermelons and melons. And when it comes to something known and widespread in our time, it is hard to believe that such a thing is known and gives people pleasure for many millennia! The homeland of these plants is Asia, where they are found even in the wild. It is quite possible that several thousand years ago watermelons and melons came from here to other countries.

Watermelon has been a delicacy since the ancient Egyptians. The ancient Romans, and perhaps the Greeks, got as much pleasure from watermelons as we do. The French began to grow watermelons in times closer to us. This happened about 300 years ago. Watermelons and melons belong to the same plant family as cucumbers and pumpkins. It is a climbing plant that grows best in warm, humus-rich loamy soils.

In colder climate zones, watermelons are grown in greenhouses or greenhouses. All watermelons and melons come from two main plants. Melons originally grew in South Asia, and watermelons in tropical Africa. But during the centuries that they were grown, they spread to many countries, and now there are a lot of them. Musk melons get their name from the aroma they give off. Musk melons are also called cantaloupes. Watermelons are much larger than melons and much juicier.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

LTC5508 Subminiature Broadband Power Detector 16.01.2003

LINEAR TECHNOLOGY has released the LTC5508 subminiature wideband power detector for operation in the frequency range from 300 MHz to 7 GHz.

The temperature-compensated Schottky diode peak detector and buffer amplifier are housed in a 6-pin 70x1,2mm SC2 package. The microcircuit has a large dynamic range of input signals - from -32 dBm to +12 dBm. It works at supply voltages from 2,7 to 6 V, consumes a small current - 550 μA. There is a shutdown mode by an external signal, in which the current consumption is reduced to 2 μA.
