A National Survey of Methods for the Determination of Sediment in Butter and Cream

Omaha Cold Storage Company, Omaha, Nebraska

ABSTRACT

The results of this investigation indicate that:

1. Cream and butter are most satisfactorily tested for sediment using the acid method. The lye method for cream and the borax method for butter proved to give a great number of unsatisfactory filtrations and were therefore impracticable for routine work.
   
2. The standard lintine discs and sediment testers used for milk were satisfactorily used in these tests.
   
3. The Connecticut Official Milk Sediment Standards, 1931, may be used for interpretation of results.
   
4. Indications were established showing that undissolved curd or curd-solvent scum caused pads to appear dirtier with certain curd solvents than with those which produced no such reside
