Does anyone know the chemical formula of cheese?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the inquiry into the chemical formula of cheese, with a focus on whether it can be artificially created from common school materials. The context includes a presentation deadline, prompting the participant to seek relevant information.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to find the chemical formula of cheese for a presentation, indicating a preference for this topic over ionisation energy.
  • Another participant suggests that milk could be a related topic of interest.
  • A third participant elaborates on the complexity of cheese, noting that it consists of mixtures and interactions of various compounds, and states that a specific chemical formula for cheese may not exist.
  • The initial poster contemplates reverting to the easier topic of ionisation energy after receiving feedback.
  • Another participant questions the relevance of the two topics and asks what other subjects might be permissible for the presentation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the existence of a chemical formula for cheese, with some suggesting related topics while others highlight the complexity of cheese's composition.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects uncertainty regarding the classification of cheese and its components, as well as the limitations of available information for the intended presentation.

I'm interested in trying to find this out because I'm wondering if i could artificially make it from school materials...also i want to do a presentation on it tommorow, if i can't find the relevant information I'm going to have to do my presentation on ionisation energy, which is easy, and which everyone already knows...so it will be boring for us all...help me?! please :confused:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
maybe even milk?
 
Or apples? Or dirt? Or roast beef? You are talking about mixtures, solutions, suspensions, gels, sols of many compounds, most of which have not been isolated, identified, and characterized, and of the interactions of those compounds with each other and with the interfaces among the various sol, gel, and solution phases.

You can browse "natural products chemistry" for interesting tidbits, look at "casein" one of the proteins in milk and its uses, commercial preparation of milk sugar (lactose), suspension of fats and oils in water, but you ain't going to find a chemical formula for cheese.
 
Oh i see...looks like i'll just do the presentation on ionisation energy then :-p

Thanks for bothering to reply though

Seems like two rather unrelated projects.

What else are you allowed to present on?
