Improvement of Flavor and Quality of Butter
M Mortensen of Iowa State College compared sour cream pasteurization effects on butter flavor and keeping quality. Cream pasteurized at 170 F for 20 min produced slightly better butter than 145 F. butter at 170 F did not keep as well over nine months. Pasteurization at 180 F was less satisfactory than 170 F. Neutralization of sour cream also improved quality and reduced deterioration.
