Butter and Ghee

BUTTER AND GHEE

Introduction

There are four types of butter that can be made from fresh or fermented milk, from cream, or from the whey that remains after cheese making (Table 1). Butters are made by separating the fat in milk. They contain more than 80% fat with a small amount of water dispersed through the fat as tiny droplets, which are so small that the butter looks dry. Butters have a pale yellow/cream colour, and a smooth consistency so that they spread easily and melt in the mouth. They are used as spreads, for cooking, or as bakery ingredients. Heat is used to destroy food poisoning bacteria and most spoilage bacteria. The heat also inactivates some of the enzymes in the cream. Secondary preservation is due to the low moisture content, by keeping the butter cool and packaging it so that it cannot become recontaminated by dirt, insects or micro-organisms. This also slows the development of rancidity.

Ghee is a golden oil or fat (depending on the room temperature), made from cow’s or buffalo milk. It has a high demand in some countries as domestic cooking oil and as an ingredient for bakeries. It is made by heating cream to boil off the water and then filtering out the solidified proteins. Ghee is preserved by a combination of heat, which destroys enzymes and contaminating micro-organisms, and by removing water from the oil to prevent microorganisms growing during storage. It has a long shelf life if it is stored in a cool place, using airtight, lightproof and moisture-proof containers to slow down the development of rancidity. Further details of the principles of preservation are given in Technical Brief: Dairy Processing – an overview, which is intended to be read alongside this Technical Brief.

Type of butter

Lactic (or ‘cultured’) butter

Made from soured milk or cream, may be salted or unsalted. Slightly acid taste

Fresh (or ‘sweet’) butter

Made from cream, may be salted or unsalted, mild creamy flavour

Ghee

A clear golden brown oil with a characteristic flavour of milk fat, made by heating cream to remove the moisture and filtering out the solids.

Whey butter

Made from whey separated from curd during cheese making. It is strong tasting with a slight cheesy and slightly acidic flavour. It can taste salty if salt is added to the cheese before the whey is drained off. It is less shiny than fresh butter, more oily, and with a deeper yellow colour.

Table 1: Types of butter (Adapted from Dairy Science and Technology Education).

Most butters contain about 16% water, and any contaminating micro-organisms are found in the water droplets. When salted butter is made, the salt (1-2%) dissolves in the water droplets, so the effective salt concentration is approximately 10% in the water. It acts as a preservative to improve the shelf life by suppressing the growth of any micro-organisms that are present, and also improves the flavour.

Methods of processing

Fresh milk is first separated into skim milk and cream and the cream is then used to make fresh butter or ghee. These processes are described in more detail below. To make lactic butter, milk is fermented to yoghurt (see Technical Brief: Soured milk and yoghurt), and this is then churned as for fresh butter. Whey has a butterfat content of 3.5 – 8.75%, depending on the type of cheese being made (see Technical Brief: Cheesemaking). It may also contain residual starter culture from the cheese whey. The process is similar to that used to make fresh butter.

Optimizing Butter Making ( Laura Kelley and Mohammad Biswas )

•Optimizing Butter Making

•Buttery Facts
•Butter is made by the agitation of the cream layer from unhomogenized milk.
•Butter has been made for many centuries in the same fashion, but technological advancements have lead to faster ways to make butter.
•Our project involves making butter by varying temperature and adding co-solvents.
•Background: How to Make Butter
•Milk: Basis of Butter
–Milk is an emulsion of fat globules within a water based fluid
–Milk consists mostly of water
–Fat separates from the milk to form cream layer
–This layer is more concentrated in fat than the milk
•Background: How to Make Butter
•Churning: Means to Butter
–Early period butter making process
–Collect the cream layer from the milk
–Allowed to sour over a couple of days at room temperature
–Use Butter Churn to produce butter and buttermilk
–Remove butter from buttermilk and rinse with cold water
–Add salt to butter for preservation
•How We Made Butter
•Main Ingredient:
–Heavy Whipping Cream
•Methods Used:
–Electric Mixer
–Manual Shaking
•Agitation causes physical separation of butter and buttermilk
•Stages of Butter Churning
•Heavy Cream Layer
–This was obtained after separation of the milk emulsion
–Agitation begins at this stage
•Whip Cream
–Stiff peaks form
–This is what is purchased at stores after adding other ingredients
•Stages of Butter Churning
•Transition Stage
–Butter begins to form
–Appearance of the signature pale yellow color
•Final Stage: Butter
–Formation of clumps
–Separation of butter and buttermilk
–Wash butter to remove excess buttermilk for storage
•Experiment 1: Different Ingredients
•Main Ingredient:
–Heavy Whipping Cream
•Co-solvents Examined:
–Salt
–Calcium Supplements (Calcium Sulfate)
–Baking Powder
–Cornstarch
–Sugar
•Results of Experiment 1
•Experiment 2: Addition of Salt
•Amount of Salt for every two cups (~ 460 g) of heavy cream:
–½ teaspoon (2.4 grams)
–1 teaspoon (4.7 grams)
–1 tablespoon (14.2 grams)
–2 tablespoons (28.5 grams)
–3 tablespoons (42.7 grams)
•Results of Experiment 2
•Experiment 3: Temperature
•Temperature Variation:
–0oC
–10oC
–Room Temperature
–30oC
•Determine the role of temperature on the formation of butter
•Results of Experiment 3
•Conclusions
•Butter can be produced the fastest with an ionic co-solvents
•Increasing the amount of co-solvent does not always decrease the time to make butter
•Ideal conditions to make butter is at room temperature
•Questions?
