Characterization of Retail Conventional, Organic, and Grass Full-Fat Butters by Their Fat Contents, Free Fatty Acid Contents, and Triglyceride and Fatty Acid Profiling

Abstract: In the Netherlands, butter is produced from milk originating from three different production systems: conventional, organic, and grass-fed cows. The aim of the current study was to characterize these types of butters, and pinpoint distinct compositional differences. Retail conventional (n = 28), organic (n = 14), and grass (n = 12) full-fat butters were collected during the winter and summer seasons. Samples were analyzed for their fat content, free fatty acid (FFA) content, and triglyceride (TG) and fatty aci… Show more

“…While many studies are focused on the adulteration process of dairy products (De La Fuente and Juarez, 2005; Moore et al., 2012; Nedeljkovic et al., 2016) and quality evaluation of oils and fats in butters (Geana et al., 2015; Johns and Schmitz, 2013; Popescu et al., 2015; Zhu et al., 2018), there are few papers that compare the physico-chemical properties between commercial butters (conventional method of preparation) and organic (“bio”) butters (Pustjens et al., 2017). Since organic farming is expensive, in farmers’ market, people are expecting high-quality organic, “bio” products, prepared using less industrialized methods and sold directly by the farmer/manufacturer to the consumer.…”

“…Since organic farming is expensive, in farmers’ market, people are expecting high-quality organic, “bio” products, prepared using less industrialized methods and sold directly by the farmer/manufacturer to the consumer. An organic, “bio” butter is prepared from milk that comes from grazing cows (it is also called “grass” butter), whose diet does not include genetically modified plants and synthetic fertilizers/medicine, and it is prepared using manual methods (industrial processing alters the fat composition through a series of processes like inoculation of the cream with microbial lipases and milk fat fractionating) (Pustjens et al., 2017). It has been shown that the differences between organic butters and commercial butters are more pronounced in the winter and less obvious in the summer; this is due to a similar feeding of the cows during warmer months.…”

“…In the current Special Issue, novel fraud detection methods are presented. They deal with a number of fraud vulnerable commodities, such as seafood [ 3 ], olive oil [ 4 ], and dairy products [ 5 , 6 ]. Fraud categories covered include compositional fraud, for instance replacement of olive oil with other vegetable oils or the addition of egg yolk to sea urchin roe.…”

“…The FA compositions of the milk samples were determined by a GC16958 (Agilent 7890A, Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, US) according to NEN-ISO 1740:2004 | IDF 6as fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) (Pustjens, Boerrigter-Eenling, Koot, et al, 2017). The GC was equipped with a 100 m x 0.25 mm x 0.2 µm film thickness fused silica capillary column (Varian, Palo Alto, CA) coupled to a flame ionization detector (column temperature 275°C).…”
