Question

Give scientific reasons. Buttermilk is churned to get butter.

Answer 1

Hint: We know that butter is a rich source of fat and protein. It is a semi solid emulsion. Buttermilk is a healthy dairy drink. It is a fermented drink. Both buttermilk and buttermilk are produced from the cow’s milk.

Complete answer:
We know that butter milk is constituted with two major components that is water and fat. We know that churning is a process of separation. So, when we churn the buttermilk in other words when we stir the buttermilk the solid part or the fat part accumulates and rises up and it is separated from the liquid component of the buttermilk. It is possible due to the action of centrifugal force which is produced due to the churning. This process of separation is also known as centrifugation. The fat part which is collected is the butter and the churned buttermilk is left. Both are very good dairy products and they are very healthy.

Additional information:
Some of the examples of dairy products are ghee, cheese, curd, yogurt, butter, cream and paneer. They have a very high amount of protein and fats. Dairy products are made from the milk of cows, goats, buffaloes, camels and sheep.

Note: Always remember that butter can be separated from the buttermilk by churning it. Butter is mainly the fat part or the solid part of the buttermilk which is separated due to the action of the centrifugal force produced while churning. The left buttermilk after separating the butter is liquid and it can be used as a dairy drink.
