Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 100 mL of whole milk? ▾
100 mL of whole milk measured poured liquid weighs 101.4 grams (3.58 ounces).
Why does 1 cup of whole milk weigh 240g while water weighs 236.6g? ▾
Milk contains dissolved sugars (lactose), proteins (casein, whey), and emulsified fat globules, giving it a higher specific gravity (~1.03).
Does scalded milk make bread dough rise better? ▾
Yes, heating milk to 180°F denatures whey proteins that can otherwise weaken the gluten structure in yeast breads.
