Principle
Butter and margarine are water-in-fat emulsions, which contain about 18 % water. Medium-fat products, such as medium-fat milk, contain more than 50 % water and are therefore not suitable for frying, cooking or baking. The water content of various fatty products are determined in this experiment.
