Nutritive ValueNutritive Value Protein Some HBV protein. All the casein
in the buttermilk Fat 80% Saturated fat (butyric acid)
Cholesterol present Carbohydrate Most of the lactose drained
off with the buttermilk, only trace left

Classification of ButterClassification of Butter
Salted butter, unsalted butter, reduced-fat butter,cream butter, spreadable butter and concentratedbutter
Dairy Spreads
Mixture of butter and vegetable
oils. Spreadable straight from the
fridge. Reduced fat dairy spreads.
These have only half the fat of butter or margarine
Culinary Uses of Butter/Margarine
• Adds flavour to food e.g. potatoes
• Prevents food from sticking e.g. sausages on pan
• Adds moistness to food e.g. bread
• Shortening agent e.g. pastry
• Required for making sauces e.g. white roux sauce
• Emulsions. Component of emulsions e.g. mayonnaise
• Prolongs shelf life e.g. cakes
MargarineMargarine Oil extraction. Oil refined to remove strong
flavours and any impurities Hydrogenation. Hydrogen gas passed through
the oil (in the presence of a nickel catalyst) to artificially harden it. Unsaturated fat changed to saturated.
Blending. Other ingredients added, skimmed milk, salt, colouring, antioxidants, emulsifiers and vitamins A+D
Churning. Mixed in a votator until the correct consistency is achieved
Temperature. Temperature is lowered between 5 –100C

Functional Dairy SpreadsFunctional Dairy Spreads Proven to reduce cholesterol e.g. Benecol, Flora Pro-Active. Made from sunflower oil, vegetable oil,
buttermilk, plant stanol, water and salt. The plant sterols (stanol ester) prevents the
absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine so that it is excreted from the body.
If stanol is included in the diet there will be a reduction in blood cholesterol levels, so this will result in a reduction in the risk of heart disease.
There are no hydrogenated fatty acids and virtually no trans-fatty acids in these spreads.
Suitable for spreading , baking and frying.
CholesterolCholesterol Cholesterol is a soft wax like substance found in all the
cells of the body Most of the cholesterol in the body is made in the liver
and the rest obtained from animal foods Cholesterol in the blood helps transport fats around
the body Cholesterol is bound to certain proteins forming
lipoproteins High density lipoproteins are the good type and help
to remove cholesterol from the body Low density lipoproteins are harmful and are
associated with the build up of cholesterol on the arteries thus causing heart disease
Normal blood cholesterol may vary between 150 –250 mg per 100ml of blood
