Question

The product obtained from cow or buffalo milk or from standardized milk by partial removal of water is-

• A. Sweetened condensed milk
• B. Sweetened condensed skim milk
• C. Full cream Sweetened condensed skim milk
• D. Evaporated milk

Hint:

Focus on the keywords in definitions. The absence of the word "sugar" in the definition of a concentrated milk product is a strong indicator that the answer is "evaporated milk".

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question provides a definition and asks to identify the corresponding milk product. The key part of the definition is "partial removal of water" with no mention of sugar being added.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's analyze the options based on the definition:
(A) Sweetened condensed milk: This product involves both water removal AND the addition of sugar for preservation. The definition in the question omits the addition of sugar, so this is incorrect.
(B) Sweetened condensed skim milk: This is a variation made from skim milk, but it still requires the addition of sugar.
(C) Full cream Sweetened condensed skim milk: This term is contradictory ("full cream" and "skim"). Regardless, it implies the addition of sugar.
(D) Evaporated milk: This is the correct term for milk that has had about 60% of its water removed by evaporation and is then canned and sterilized by heat. It contains no added sugar. The definition in the question precisely describes this product.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The product obtained by only partially removing water from milk (and subsequently heat-sterilizing it) is evaporated milk.
