Butter Oil

Butter Oil

The clarified fat portion of milk, cream, or butter obtained by the removal of the nonfat constituent. It contains not less than 99.7% milkfat, not more than 0.2% moisture, and not more than 0.05% milk solids nonfat. It is used in frozen desserts,puddings, and syrups. It is also termed anhydrous milkfat, or ghee.

Butter oil or high vitamin butter oil is dairy oil extracted without heat from cows fed solely rapidly growing grass. It is more nutrient dense than standard butter from grass-fed cows and less processed than ghee.

Various Uses of Butter Oil:

Butteroil possesses a light yellow colour and has a clean bland taste, free from sour, bitter, rancid, oxidized or other objectionable flavours. Intense heat treatment is not used in the manufacturing process. Consequently, butteroil lacks heated butter flavours. In the dairy products industry, it is used for recombination with skimmed milk powder to produce liquid milk and other milk products. Lecithin in butteroil is used to produce instant milk powder. In baking, butteroil can be sprayed on cracker surfaces to enhance gloss and appearance. It is also used in the chocolate manufacturing industry.

The advantages of using butteroil are:

No splattering or burn-on during sautéing;
Increased puff for pastries and pie shells;
Aroma and flavour enhancement in bakery items;
Control of fat bloom in chocolate candy; and
Ease of melting, pumping and mixing with other food ingredients.

Butteroil is also available in a lipolyzed form, having been modified enzymatically by lipases to produce a concentrated source of creamy and buttery flavours for use in bakery, low-fat and low-calorie caramel food products.

Powders of spray-dried butteroil encapsulated in sugar or flour are used as food ingredients in bakery, confectionery and ice cream manufacture.
