BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - Why does cream turn to whipped cream
when you whip it?

    LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- If you don't keep shaking
a container of unhomogenized milk, then the thicker, fatty portions of it
separate and float to the top. This is liquid cream, which can be ladled off
and beaten to produce a stiff foam - whipped cream. Cream is mostly made up
of lipids, water and milk proteins. In entertaining episodes our Chemical
Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our
everyday life.
