The Limit of Error of the Simplified Vacuum Solids Test as Applied to Ice Cream Mix, Evaporated and Sweetened Condensed Milk

Department of Dairy Manufactures, Texas Technological College, Lubbock, Texas

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION

A Simplified Vacuum Solids Test for determining total solids in ice cream mix, condensed and evaporated milk has been developed by the Department of Dairy Manufactures of Texas Technological College. This method was devised in order to provide the dairy industry with a method for the estimation of total solids, which is accurate enough to meet the requirements of the commercial operator, rapid enough to be of commercial value, cheap enough to be available to all who wish to perform analysis for total solids, and simple enough to be performed by the average laboratory employee.

The purpose of this work was to determine the most satisfactory procedure for operating the Simplified Vacuum Solids Test; also to determine its accuracy as compared to the Official Method for determining total solids in evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and to the, adapted Official Method for ice cream mix.

The Simplified Vacuum Solids Test was originally designed in 1933 by Professor K. M. Renner, Head of the Department of Dairy Manufactures, Texas Technological College.
