Many persons sheer at the common
notion that butter too rancid to use
upon bread, may be used without oh,
lection in cooklng but thisnotion, like
many other popular ideas, is moro in
accordance with tho truth Of tho mat
ter than the imperfect knowlcdgo which
rldicules it.
All fats are compounds of acid with
glycerin. Butter is n mixture Of sew
eral fats, and ono Of them-constitu-
ting, however, only a small portion Of
its mass-is butyripe; this is a com
pound of butyric acid with glycerin.-
Butyrine, like other fats, is q neutral
substance but when it is decomposed
i'm other words, when the butyric
acid is separated from the glycerin
with which it is combined-we then
have the two substances, the acid and
the glycerin, exhibiting each its pecu-
liar properties. Butyric is a very pow
orful acid, caustic and sour, and hav-
ing that peculiar strong odor which is
characteristic of rancid butter. One
of the early steps in the decay Of but
ter is the decomposition Of tho buty,
rine, which IS made manifest by the
odor oftho butyric acid set free, ant
by the sour and biting taste Of thil
acid.
Now, at a temperature Of 315 deg,
butyric acid is e%vaporated; hence it j
only necessary to raise the temperature
Of tho butter to this point in order to
drive off the acid that makes it rancid
and to leave the remainder perfectly
sweet. If rancid butter is mixed II
cake, a portion of the butyric acid viii
be absorbed by the water in the cake
and it may not DO alIeXpelled by thu
heat in baking; but if the butter il
used for frying IN an open pan, it II
pretty certain that the butyric acid
will all be evaporated. With know.
ledge Of the properties of butYric acid
askillful cook ought TO be able to use
rancid butter in such ways 40 to retain
