Practical 3 - Fat test
A fat test was carried out on the ice creams to determine which of the three ice cream had the highest fat content.
The experiment involved mixing 3cm3 of ehtanol with 0.15g of each different ice cream. Then mixing in 4cm3 of distilled water into the previous mixture. Then if fat is present the solution should turn cloudy. Moreover the cloudier the solution the higher the fat content of the ice cream.
The following pictures of the ice creams are in increasing order of fat content;
 |
| Medium priced ice cream |
 |
| Expensive ice cream |
 |
| Cheap ice cream |
From the experiment we found that the cheap ice cream was the cloudiest which suggests that it has the highest fat content in comparison with the other two ice cream. In addition the medium priced ice cream was the least cloudiest which suggests it had the least fat content
