Many people know that butter is a widely used item in daily life. It is mainly made by processing milk and is rich in protein and some other organic substances.

1. The difference between light butter and salted butter

1. Salt content

Butter can be divided into salted and unsalted. The difference between them is that salted butter contains about 1.5% salt, with correspondingly less milk fat content, and the water content is basically the same.

2. Application

Unsalted butter is mostly used as a raw material, mainly for making cakes, biscuits, etc. Unsalted butter is mostly used as a raw material, while salted butter is mostly used as a seasoning. Choosing unsalted butter for making cookies can better control the salt content of the cookies. Salted butter contains salt, and it is difficult to control the salt content of the cookies, which may result in a bad taste. Unsalted natural butter is suitable for making decorative cream for cakes, as well as reconstituted milk and other dairy products. It can also be used in ice cream, baked goods, and candy products. Salted natural butter: suitable for bakery products and confectionery products. Salted butter is good for sandwiches. Unsalted butter is used as a raw material for making cakes and biscuits.

Although the taste of salted butter is not much different, it is more difficult to control the salt content of the food.

2. The difference between butter and cream

In fact, cream is butter, and butter is cream. Cream is made by churning fresh milk to extract the fat. Contains about 83% milk fat and 16% water. Butter is the fat that is further separated from cream. Fresh milk cake is made with wipping cream. Fresh cream is divided into animal fresh cream and vegetable fresh cream.
