Question
6.- Select the better explanation why the proteins of milk precipitate when you add an acid or heat it. a.-adding an acid will diminish the charge of the colloidal particle and the z potential diminishing the colloidal stability b- adding an acid will help reaching the isoelectric potential and decreasing the z potential diminishing the colloidal stability and the heating will increase the hitting of the particles increasing their size and increasing the flocculation c.-the heating will increase the hitting of the particles increasing the size of the colloidal particles and increasing the flocculation. d. adding an acid will increase the charge and the z potential diminishing the colloidal stability e.-the heating will increase the hitting of the particles diminishing the size of the colloidal particles and increasing the flocculationExplanation / Answer
Here the answe is option (b).
Increasing size of the colloidal particles decreases the zeta potential value. After isoelectric point has reach the zeta potential value decreases.
