ABSTRACT
Butteroil* made by the process in which butter is heated to 110° C. to drive off the moisture, the residue being removed by centrifuging, has been found to be more resistant to oxidative rancidity than when lower temperatures of isolation of the oil are used. The improved keeping quality has been shown to result from the transfer of greater amounts of phospholipid material from the non-oil phase of butter to the oil, presumably because of the denaturing action of heat on the protein of the phospholipid-protein complex. The concentration of reducing substances is also higher in the butteroil made by the "boiling-off" process than by the low heat treatment.
