Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complicated history of butter preservatives, which initially were used to counter rancidity and the unpleasant odors that could develop in butter, but over time extended to encompass other purposes as well. The author, referencing the work of notable scientists like Pasteur and Wiley, investigates the development of butter preservation methods within the broader context of the science of bacteriology. Some of the earliest methods involved drying, smoking, or submersion in brine, alcohol, or vinegar. However, these techniques did not provide a long-term solution to butter preservation. Chemical compounds that were strong enough to be effective preservatives were often toxic. The author delves into the debate over the use of boron compounds, which, while less harmful than other preservatives, have been shown to cause disturbances in appetite, digestion, and overall health when consumed in large doses for long periods. The book also presents the British Committee's perspective on the matter and provides a detailed account of experiments conducted to test the effects of various preservatives on butter. It concludes with an overview of the current state of butter preservation, emphasizing the importance of proper cream handling, cold storage, and pasteurization in preserving butter's quality and flavor. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of food preservation and the science behind butter preservation.
