Sweet Cream for Churning
- Sweet Cream has titratable acidity of less than .10% as lactic
acid
- Cream for churning needs to have a fat test of at least 38%
and usually has fat content of 42%
- The sum of the cream fat and maximum temperature during
crystallization is called the “Magic Number” and is typically 91 to 94.
- Cream is heat treated or has undergone high temperature
pasteurization of 185F for 15 seconds, or batch pasteurized at 165F for 30 minutes. This high heat produces sulfhydryl compounds which help prevent oxidation of the butterfat and give the butter a cooked smell when fresh
- Crystallizing cream for churning: After pasteurization cream is
cooled to 45F in jacketed silo with ribbon blender and held for two hours. Temperature is raised gradually to about 50F in another six hours, then churned. It may also be brought to churning temperature quickly by using a plate heat exchanger
