ABSTRACT
- The butterfat in cream has a tendency to rise and concentrate in the upper portion. This phenomenon is somewhat similar to cream rising in milk.
- Fat rising in cream is decreased as the butterfat content is increased.
- Low holding temperatures reduce the amount and rapidity of fat rising in cream.
- Pasteurization of cream appears to increase slightly the extent of fat rising.
- Standardization of cream with skimmilk does not appreciably affect the amount of fat rising.
- Low fat contents and high holding temperatures tend to increase plasma separation in cream.
