ABSTRACT

Conductance of four milk concentrations (.0, .01, .1, and 1.0% milk) in aqueous solutions with the 12 most commonly used detergent ingredients was measured at three solution temperatures (20, 45, and 75 C). More than 75% of the variability in conductance resulted from detergent concentration. The effect of milk on the conductance of the solution was substantial only for the wetting agent, Klenzade DC-161⁵, in this case accounting for 30% of the variation. Interrelationships of the various milk concentrations, detergent ingredient concentrations, and temperatures on conductance are shown for each detergent ingredient.
