Question

Use dsc to analysis the butter,the results show in bleow. Discussion the results and summary it. why in the cooling process no crystallization (the blue line is first heating, the yellow line is cooling process, the red line is reheating process). (please give more detaisl about it. Thank you very much!)

Explanation / Answer

Butter is water in oil type emulsion, in which water exists as a dispersed hydrophilic substance not miscible with the hydrophobic fat phase. Amount of heat absorbed by the material during the phase transition. Water in butter during cooling undergoes crystallization. Presence of water gives sharp peak and crystallization. So above mentioned butter has very less water. Due to that there was no crystallization
