Cryoscopy

Measurement of milk freezing-point depression (AOAC 961.07). Pure bovine milk freezes at -0.530 to -0.560°C; added water raises (makes less negative) the freezing point; added urea or salts lower it. The combination of added water plus urea can give a misleadingly normal cryoscopy result.
