White colour of milk is due to the presence of
- ALactose
- BAlbumins
- CCarotenes
- DCaseins
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Caseins
Explanation
The white colour of milk is due to caseins, the main milk proteins that form micelles with calcium and phosphate.
These casein micelles scatter and reflect light, making milk appear white.
Lactose is milk sugar and albumins/carotenes are not responsible for the white colour.
