Butter
Definition
•Butter is a smoothy fatty food made from milk or cream, or
both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional
coloring matter, and containing not less than 80% by weight of
milk fat
Butter Characteristics
• Butter with a firm waxy body has an attractive appearance,
has granules that are close knit, cuts clean when sliced, and
has good spreadability. The trier sample from such butter will
show this clean cut smooth, waxy appearance. The
temperature of the butter at the time of grading is
important in determining the true characteristics of body and
should be between 45oF and 50oF.
Manufacture of Butter
The theory of churning is still considered plausible today:
The normal churning process is confined to a comparatively narrow temperature range
with an optimum value for the ratio of crystalline to solid to liquid fat. When cream
foams, fat globules come to the air--a serum interface of air bubbles. Liquid fat
from the globules spreads at the interface along with material of fat globule
membranes. The film of liquid fat cements globules into clumps. On repeated
formation and destruction of foam bubbles, clumps grow to butter granules that
contain modified serum (buttermilk) in the interstices between the fat globules.
During working of the mass, some fat globules are crushed, and their contents are
added to liquid fat. Also, moisture droplets are subdivided and air is entrapped
Batch Method
• A huge metal cylinder that turns around a horizontal axis is most often used for
churning butter by the conventional batch method. As the churn rotates, the cream
is agitated, and several thousand pounds (8,000) of butter can be manufactured in
one churning.
• The following steps are usually followed in batch churning:
1) prepare the churn by cleaning and sanitizing
2) pump cream of 30-33% fat at 9oC in summer or 13oC in winter into a churn
3) add coloring
4) rotate the churn until butter granules are formed (breaking point) and become
the size of peas or popcorn
5) drain buttermilk
6) rinse buttermilk from interior surfaces of the churn with clean, cold water
7) wash butter with sufficient water to bring total volume to that of
original cream (water colder than butter firms, where as water
warmer than butter softens)
8) drain wash water
9) add salt
10)work butter sufficiently to bring granules and water into compact
mass,
11)sample and test for moisture
12)add water if insufficient (below about 16%) or permit to escape from
the churn if the test shows high moisture
13)work butter until it has a firm, waxy body
14)sample and test for moisture, salt and curd
15)remove butter from the churn.
• Butter is then packaged in automated printer-wrapper machines, being
cut into one-quarter or 1-lb prints (sticks), wrapped in foil or
parchment, and then stored at -18o to -29oC.
Pretreatment of Cream
• Much research has been conducted over the past forty years to
improve the consistency of butter through temperature pretreatment
of the cream before churning. Such treatment results in controlled
crystallization of the milk fat. The Swedish or Alnarp: 6-21-12" method
has gained wide acceptance in many countries.
• In this process, after pasteurization, the fat in fat globules is in the
liquid form, but the fat begins to crystallize when the cream is cooled to
below 40o C. Quick cooling of the cream to a low temperature results
in the rapid formation of many small fat crystals. However, the ratio of
liquid to solid fat would be low and would result in a hard butter.
Heating such cooled cream to a higher temperature melts the higher-
melting -point triglycerides from the crystals. Recrystallization of the
melted fat at a lower temperature results in a higher liquid/solids ratio,
yielding a softer butter.
Treatment of Butter
• Although treatment of cream before churning is considered the most
feasible means of improving the spreadability of butter, attempts have
been make to work butter after churning to improve it. One of the most
interesting properties of butter is its tendency to soften during
working. The greater part of softening occurs instantaneously, and the
properties of the butter determine the amount of the breakdown
rather than the intensity of working.
• Ivarson showed that holding freshly churned butter at 5oC for a few
hours, then working it in a compact mixer will result in improved
spreadability at refrigeration temperature. However, the present
practice of manufacturing butter continuously usually precludes the
opportunity for such treatment since the butter is packaged almost
directly after churning. The mixing process apparently results in
deformation of the crystalline structure of the butter, yielding improved
spreadability and slow recovery of firmness.
Microbiology of Butter
• Butter is made as a means of extracting and preserving milk fat. It can be
made directly from milk or by separation of milk and subsequent churning
of the cream.
• Sources of contamination
• In addition to bacteria present in the milk other sources of bacteria in
butter are (1) equipment, (2) wash water, (3) air contamination, (4) packing
materials, and (5) personnel.
• Equipment
• In smallholder butter-making, bacterial contamination can come from
unclean surfaces, the butter maker and wash water. Packaging materials,
cups and leaves are also sources of contaminants. Washing and smoking
the churn reduces bacterial numbers. But traditional equipment is often
porous and is therefore a reservoir for many organisms.
• When butter is made on a larger processing scale, bacterial contamination
can come from holding-tank surfaces, the churn and butter-handling
equipment
• A wooden churn can be a source of serious bacterial, yeast and
mould contamination since these organisms can penetrate the
wood, where they can be destroyed only by extreme heat. If a
wooden churn has loose bands, cream can enter the crevices
between the staves, where it provides a growth medium for
bacteria which contaminate subsequent batches of butter.
However, if care is taken in cleaning a wooden churn this source of
contamination can be controlled. Similar care is required with
scotch hands and butter-working equipment.
Wash water
• Wash water can be a source of contamination with both
coliform bacteria and bacteria associated with defects in
butter. Polluted water supplies can also be a source of
pathogens.
Air
• Contamination from the air can introduce spoilage organisms:
mould spores, bacteria and yeasts can fall on the butter if it
is left exposed to the air. Moulds grow rapidly on butter
exposed to air.
Packaging
• Care is required in the storage and preparation of packaging
material. Careless handling of packaging material can be a
source of mould contamination.
•Personnel
• A high standard of personal hygiene is required from people engaged in
butter-making. For example, in New Zealand the 1938 dairy produce
regulations stated "no person shall permit his bare hands to be brought in
contact with any butter at any time immediately following manufacture or
during the wrapping, packaging, storage and transport of such butter".
• Personnel pass organisms to butter via the hands, mouth, nasal passage
and clothing. Suitable arrangements for disinfecting hands should be
provided, and clean working garments should not have contact with other
clothes
Control of micro-organisms in butter
• Salting effectively controls bacterial growth in butter. The salt must be evenly dispersed
and worked in well. Salt concentration of 2% adequately dispersed in butter of 16%
moisture will result in a 12.5% salt solution throughout the water-in-oil emulsion.
• Washing butter does little to reduce microbiological counts. It may be desirable not to
wash butter, since washing reduces yield. The acid pH of serum in butter made from
ripened cream or sour milk may control the growth of acid-sensitive organisms.
• Microbiological analysis of butter usually includes some of the following tests: total
bacterial count, yeasts and moulds, coliform estimation and estimation of lipolytic
bacteria.
• Yeast, mould and coliform estimations are useful for evaluating sanitary practices. The
presence of defect producing types can be indicated by estimating the presence of
lipolytic organisms.
• All butter contains some micro-organisms. However, proper control at every stage of the
process can minimize the harmful effects of these organisms
Butter defects
• Five classes of defects in quality
i. Flavor
ii. Body
iii. Color
iv. Salt
v. Package
There are eight major defects considered in this evaluation:
1) Crumbly (lacks cohesion)
2) Gummy (sticky mouthfeel)
3) Leaky (free moisture on the butter surface)
4) Mealy or grainy (a grainy feel on the tongue similar to cornmeal)
5) Ragged boring (unable to draw a smooth full trier of butter)
6) Short (lacks plasticity and tends toward brittleness)
7) Sticky (butter sticks to trier as a smear)
8) Weak (lacks firmness).
Bacterial
• Butter can taste a bit malty (like “Grape Nuts”), or sour if bacterial had
a chance to grow in the milk. The cause is usually due to Streptococcus
lactis in poorly cooled milk. Bacterial degradation results from bacteria
that get into the milk upon contact with improperly washed or
sanitized equipment, from external contamination, and is made worse
by improper cooling. Milk is an excellent growth medium for bacteria. It
provides the nutrients and moisture and has a near neutral PH.Off-
flavors are the results of bacterial growth psychrotrophs).
• Chemical flavors can be cowy (ketosis), rancid, oxidized, sunlight, and
medicinal. The cowy or ketone flavor is the result of the animal
suffering from ketosis. A foreign flavor can be caused by medications, a
reaction to pesticides, disinfectants, or any number of contaminants.
Rancidity and oxidation result from the degradation of milk fat. This is
the most common. Many of the oxidation pathways are not entirely
understood. Salted butter was developed to prevent spoilage, and to
mask the taste of rancid butter.
Rancidity
• A sour-bitter taste is identifiable with rancidity (i.e. soapy, baby-vomit, blue cheese).
Rancid butter becomes yellow to brown and the flavor becomes harsh. There appears to
be a seasonal effect, with the months between July and September having the highest
occurrences, and is also caused by stressed cows, and plumbing issued with the
processing tanks. Rancidity is caused by a chemical development, which continues until
the milk is pasteurized. It often occurs if the membranes around milk fat globules are
weakened or broken. When butter becomes rancid, the enzyme lipase breaks it down
into glycerol and fatty acids. Hydrolytic rancidity results in the formation of free fatty
acids and soaps (salts of free fatty acids) and is caused by either the reaction of lipid and
water in the presence of a catalyst or by the action of lipase enzymes. Low levels of free
fatty acids are not objectionable if they are sixteen or eighteen carbon fatty acids as
commonly found in soybeans, corn or animal fat. However, in butter fat (and coconut
oil), low levels of shorter carbon chain fatty acids may be quite objectionable. The worst
offender being butyric acid (butanoic acid).
Oxidation
• It is more common in milk from the winter and early
spring because the cows eat less vitamin E, an
antioxidant, in stored forages. It can also be caused by
excessive copper or iron in the water supply used to
wash equipment or compensate for dirty milking
equipment The off-flavor can sometimes be detected in
raw milk, but more often is noticed in high fat products
such as butter or vanilla ice cream. Oxidative rancidity
results from more complex lipid oxidation processes. The
processes are generally considered to occur in three
phases: an initiation or induction phase, a propagation
phase, and a termination phase. In complex systems, the
products of each of these phases will increase and
decrease over time, making it difficult to quantitatively
measure lipid oxidation.
• During the initiation phase, molecular oxygen combines with
unsaturated fatty acids to produce hydroperoxides and free
radicals, both of which are very reactive. For this phase to
occur at any meaningful rate, some type of oxidative
initiators must also be present, such as chemical oxidizers,
transition metals (i.e., iron or copper), or enzymes (i.e.,
lipoxygenases).
• Heat and light also increase the rate of this and other phases
of lipid oxidation. The reactive products of this initiation
phase will, in turn, react with additional lipid molecules to
form other reactive chemical species. The propagation of
further oxidation by lipid oxidation products gives rise to the
term "auto-oxidation" that is often used to refer to this
process. In the final, termination phase of lipid oxidation,
relatively unreactive compounds are formed including
hydrocarbons, aldehydes, and ketones.
Bitter Attributable to
the action of
certain
microorganisms
or enzymes in
the cream
before
churning,
certain types of
feeds and late
lactation. Cooked
Associated with
using high
temperatures in
pasteurization
of sweet cream.
Acid
Associated with
moderate acid
development in
the milk or
cream, or
excessive
ripening of the
cream.
Musty
• Attributable to cream from
cows grazing on slough grass,
eating musty or moldy feed
or drinking stagnant water.
Malty
• Attributable to the growth of
the organism Streptococcus
lactic var. maltigenes in milk
or cream. It is often traced to
improperly washed and
sanitized utensils in which
this organism has developed.
Flat
• Attributable to excessive
washing of the butter or to a
low percentage of fats or
volatile acids and other
volatile products that help to
produce a pleasing butter
flavor.

Butter

  • 2. Definition •Butter is a smoothy fatty food made from milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional coloring matter, and containing not less than 80% by weight of milk fat
  • 3. Butter Characteristics • Butter with a firm waxy body has an attractive appearance, has granules that are close knit, cuts clean when sliced, and has good spreadability. The trier sample from such butter will show this clean cut smooth, waxy appearance. The temperature of the butter at the time of grading is important in determining the true characteristics of body and should be between 45oF and 50oF.
  • 4. Manufacture of Butter The theory of churning is still considered plausible today: The normal churning process is confined to a comparatively narrow temperature range with an optimum value for the ratio of crystalline to solid to liquid fat. When cream foams, fat globules come to the air--a serum interface of air bubbles. Liquid fat from the globules spreads at the interface along with material of fat globule membranes. The film of liquid fat cements globules into clumps. On repeated formation and destruction of foam bubbles, clumps grow to butter granules that contain modified serum (buttermilk) in the interstices between the fat globules. During working of the mass, some fat globules are crushed, and their contents are added to liquid fat. Also, moisture droplets are subdivided and air is entrapped
  • 5.
  • 6.
  • 7. Batch Method • A huge metal cylinder that turns around a horizontal axis is most often used for churning butter by the conventional batch method. As the churn rotates, the cream is agitated, and several thousand pounds (8,000) of butter can be manufactured in one churning. • The following steps are usually followed in batch churning: 1) prepare the churn by cleaning and sanitizing 2) pump cream of 30-33% fat at 9oC in summer or 13oC in winter into a churn 3) add coloring 4) rotate the churn until butter granules are formed (breaking point) and become the size of peas or popcorn 5) drain buttermilk 6) rinse buttermilk from interior surfaces of the churn with clean, cold water
  • 8. 7) wash butter with sufficient water to bring total volume to that of original cream (water colder than butter firms, where as water warmer than butter softens) 8) drain wash water 9) add salt 10)work butter sufficiently to bring granules and water into compact mass, 11)sample and test for moisture 12)add water if insufficient (below about 16%) or permit to escape from the churn if the test shows high moisture 13)work butter until it has a firm, waxy body 14)sample and test for moisture, salt and curd 15)remove butter from the churn. • Butter is then packaged in automated printer-wrapper machines, being cut into one-quarter or 1-lb prints (sticks), wrapped in foil or parchment, and then stored at -18o to -29oC.
  • 9. Pretreatment of Cream • Much research has been conducted over the past forty years to improve the consistency of butter through temperature pretreatment of the cream before churning. Such treatment results in controlled crystallization of the milk fat. The Swedish or Alnarp: 6-21-12" method has gained wide acceptance in many countries. • In this process, after pasteurization, the fat in fat globules is in the liquid form, but the fat begins to crystallize when the cream is cooled to below 40o C. Quick cooling of the cream to a low temperature results in the rapid formation of many small fat crystals. However, the ratio of liquid to solid fat would be low and would result in a hard butter. Heating such cooled cream to a higher temperature melts the higher- melting -point triglycerides from the crystals. Recrystallization of the melted fat at a lower temperature results in a higher liquid/solids ratio, yielding a softer butter.
  • 10. Treatment of Butter • Although treatment of cream before churning is considered the most feasible means of improving the spreadability of butter, attempts have been make to work butter after churning to improve it. One of the most interesting properties of butter is its tendency to soften during working. The greater part of softening occurs instantaneously, and the properties of the butter determine the amount of the breakdown rather than the intensity of working. • Ivarson showed that holding freshly churned butter at 5oC for a few hours, then working it in a compact mixer will result in improved spreadability at refrigeration temperature. However, the present practice of manufacturing butter continuously usually precludes the opportunity for such treatment since the butter is packaged almost directly after churning. The mixing process apparently results in deformation of the crystalline structure of the butter, yielding improved spreadability and slow recovery of firmness.
  • 11. Microbiology of Butter • Butter is made as a means of extracting and preserving milk fat. It can be made directly from milk or by separation of milk and subsequent churning of the cream. • Sources of contamination • In addition to bacteria present in the milk other sources of bacteria in butter are (1) equipment, (2) wash water, (3) air contamination, (4) packing materials, and (5) personnel. • Equipment • In smallholder butter-making, bacterial contamination can come from unclean surfaces, the butter maker and wash water. Packaging materials, cups and leaves are also sources of contaminants. Washing and smoking the churn reduces bacterial numbers. But traditional equipment is often porous and is therefore a reservoir for many organisms. • When butter is made on a larger processing scale, bacterial contamination can come from holding-tank surfaces, the churn and butter-handling equipment
  • 12. • A wooden churn can be a source of serious bacterial, yeast and mould contamination since these organisms can penetrate the wood, where they can be destroyed only by extreme heat. If a wooden churn has loose bands, cream can enter the crevices between the staves, where it provides a growth medium for bacteria which contaminate subsequent batches of butter. However, if care is taken in cleaning a wooden churn this source of contamination can be controlled. Similar care is required with scotch hands and butter-working equipment.
  • 13. Wash water • Wash water can be a source of contamination with both coliform bacteria and bacteria associated with defects in butter. Polluted water supplies can also be a source of pathogens.
  • 14. Air • Contamination from the air can introduce spoilage organisms: mould spores, bacteria and yeasts can fall on the butter if it is left exposed to the air. Moulds grow rapidly on butter exposed to air.
  • 15. Packaging • Care is required in the storage and preparation of packaging material. Careless handling of packaging material can be a source of mould contamination.
  • 16. •Personnel • A high standard of personal hygiene is required from people engaged in butter-making. For example, in New Zealand the 1938 dairy produce regulations stated "no person shall permit his bare hands to be brought in contact with any butter at any time immediately following manufacture or during the wrapping, packaging, storage and transport of such butter". • Personnel pass organisms to butter via the hands, mouth, nasal passage and clothing. Suitable arrangements for disinfecting hands should be provided, and clean working garments should not have contact with other clothes
  • 17. Control of micro-organisms in butter • Salting effectively controls bacterial growth in butter. The salt must be evenly dispersed and worked in well. Salt concentration of 2% adequately dispersed in butter of 16% moisture will result in a 12.5% salt solution throughout the water-in-oil emulsion. • Washing butter does little to reduce microbiological counts. It may be desirable not to wash butter, since washing reduces yield. The acid pH of serum in butter made from ripened cream or sour milk may control the growth of acid-sensitive organisms. • Microbiological analysis of butter usually includes some of the following tests: total bacterial count, yeasts and moulds, coliform estimation and estimation of lipolytic bacteria. • Yeast, mould and coliform estimations are useful for evaluating sanitary practices. The presence of defect producing types can be indicated by estimating the presence of lipolytic organisms. • All butter contains some micro-organisms. However, proper control at every stage of the process can minimize the harmful effects of these organisms
  • 18. Butter defects • Five classes of defects in quality i. Flavor ii. Body iii. Color iv. Salt v. Package
  • 19. There are eight major defects considered in this evaluation: 1) Crumbly (lacks cohesion) 2) Gummy (sticky mouthfeel) 3) Leaky (free moisture on the butter surface) 4) Mealy or grainy (a grainy feel on the tongue similar to cornmeal) 5) Ragged boring (unable to draw a smooth full trier of butter) 6) Short (lacks plasticity and tends toward brittleness) 7) Sticky (butter sticks to trier as a smear) 8) Weak (lacks firmness).
  • 20.

  • 22. Bacterial • Butter can taste a bit malty (like “Grape Nuts”), or sour if bacterial had a chance to grow in the milk. The cause is usually due to Streptococcus lactis in poorly cooled milk. Bacterial degradation results from bacteria that get into the milk upon contact with improperly washed or sanitized equipment, from external contamination, and is made worse by improper cooling. Milk is an excellent growth medium for bacteria. It provides the nutrients and moisture and has a near neutral PH.Off- flavors are the results of bacterial growth psychrotrophs). • Chemical flavors can be cowy (ketosis), rancid, oxidized, sunlight, and medicinal. The cowy or ketone flavor is the result of the animal suffering from ketosis. A foreign flavor can be caused by medications, a reaction to pesticides, disinfectants, or any number of contaminants. Rancidity and oxidation result from the degradation of milk fat. This is the most common. Many of the oxidation pathways are not entirely understood. Salted butter was developed to prevent spoilage, and to mask the taste of rancid butter.
  • 23. Rancidity • A sour-bitter taste is identifiable with rancidity (i.e. soapy, baby-vomit, blue cheese). Rancid butter becomes yellow to brown and the flavor becomes harsh. There appears to be a seasonal effect, with the months between July and September having the highest occurrences, and is also caused by stressed cows, and plumbing issued with the processing tanks. Rancidity is caused by a chemical development, which continues until the milk is pasteurized. It often occurs if the membranes around milk fat globules are weakened or broken. When butter becomes rancid, the enzyme lipase breaks it down into glycerol and fatty acids. Hydrolytic rancidity results in the formation of free fatty acids and soaps (salts of free fatty acids) and is caused by either the reaction of lipid and water in the presence of a catalyst or by the action of lipase enzymes. Low levels of free fatty acids are not objectionable if they are sixteen or eighteen carbon fatty acids as commonly found in soybeans, corn or animal fat. However, in butter fat (and coconut oil), low levels of shorter carbon chain fatty acids may be quite objectionable. The worst offender being butyric acid (butanoic acid).
  • 24. Oxidation • It is more common in milk from the winter and early spring because the cows eat less vitamin E, an antioxidant, in stored forages. It can also be caused by excessive copper or iron in the water supply used to wash equipment or compensate for dirty milking equipment The off-flavor can sometimes be detected in raw milk, but more often is noticed in high fat products such as butter or vanilla ice cream. Oxidative rancidity results from more complex lipid oxidation processes. The processes are generally considered to occur in three phases: an initiation or induction phase, a propagation phase, and a termination phase. In complex systems, the products of each of these phases will increase and decrease over time, making it difficult to quantitatively measure lipid oxidation.
  • 25. • During the initiation phase, molecular oxygen combines with unsaturated fatty acids to produce hydroperoxides and free radicals, both of which are very reactive. For this phase to occur at any meaningful rate, some type of oxidative initiators must also be present, such as chemical oxidizers, transition metals (i.e., iron or copper), or enzymes (i.e., lipoxygenases). • Heat and light also increase the rate of this and other phases of lipid oxidation. The reactive products of this initiation phase will, in turn, react with additional lipid molecules to form other reactive chemical species. The propagation of further oxidation by lipid oxidation products gives rise to the term "auto-oxidation" that is often used to refer to this process. In the final, termination phase of lipid oxidation, relatively unreactive compounds are formed including hydrocarbons, aldehydes, and ketones.
  • 26. Bitter Attributable to the action of certain microorganisms or enzymes in the cream before churning, certain types of feeds and late lactation. Cooked Associated with using high temperatures in pasteurization of sweet cream. Acid Associated with moderate acid development in the milk or cream, or excessive ripening of the cream.
  • 27. Musty • Attributable to cream from cows grazing on slough grass, eating musty or moldy feed or drinking stagnant water. Malty • Attributable to the growth of the organism Streptococcus lactic var. maltigenes in milk or cream. It is often traced to improperly washed and sanitized utensils in which this organism has developed. Flat • Attributable to excessive washing of the butter or to a low percentage of fats or volatile acids and other volatile products that help to produce a pleasing butter flavor.
  • 28. USDA BUTTER GRADES: U.S. Grade AA Delicate, sweet flavor, with a fine, highly pleasing aroma Made from high-quality fresh, sweet cream Smooth, creamy texture with good "spreadability" May possess a slight feed and a definite cooked flavor.
  • 29. U.S. Grade A Pleasing flavor Made from fresh cream Fairly smooth texture May possess any of these flavors to a slight degree: Acid, aged, bitter, coarse, flat and storage.
