Manufacturing Practices for Cultured Buttermilk in Ohio Dairy Plants¹

Department of Dairy Technology, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Columbus

ABSTRACT

Conclusion: The response to the questionnaire indicates that there is no clear-cut mandate among Ohio companies for one procedure for manufacturing cultured buttermilk. The wide variety of practices may give evidence that lack of resemblance of order may, in fact, be the real reason for the inconsistencies in the quality of buttermilk noted. However, at this time there are no data to indicate that one procedure will do a better job than another. The entire picture leaves the impression that buttermilk manufacturing is not yet a science, but that it is still in the art age.

The fact that 66% of the companies indicated they rarely have problems with buttermilk quality would indicate that a) a satisfactory product may be obtained by several of the procedures, or b) the companies have learned to live with what they produce, even though the quality of the product may not be the most desirable.
