Spreadability and Hardness of Butter.^{1, 2,} I. Development of an Instrument for Measuring Spreadability¹

Department of Dairy and Food Industries, University of Wisconsin, Madison

ABSTRACT

Aii instrument has been developed to measure the spreadability of butter. Although the instrument was much more sensitive than consumers in detecting differences in spreadability, results obtained with it were closely correlated with those obtained from consumer-preference studies. Hardness, as obtained with a sectility apparatus, has been found to be closely related to spreadability.

¹ Funds for partial support of these studies were made available by the Wuethrich Foundation, Greenwood, Wisconsin.

² Data presented are from a thesis submitted by Victor R. Huebner in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy degree.

³ Present address: Food Research Department, Armour and Company, Chicago.

⁴ Professor of Dairy and Food Industries.
