Causes of Fishy Butter Flavor in US Dairy Regions
Washington reports researchers state fishy butter flavor arises from an oxidation process in cream during ripening. Affected by small oxygen amounts, it is preventable by using pasteurized cream without ripening or adding a starter to pasteurized sweet cream. Sour cream pasteurization does not avert fishy flavors. Prices for new apples rise as Illinois fruit ships with variable quality. Transparents bring 1.26 to 1.60, standard boxes 60c to 1.00, half bushels 25 to 50c, hampers 5.60 to 7.50, with receipts up to five carloads daily.
