Textbooks in Dairy Science and Technology are often of a somewhat
general nature with less emphasising of individual dairy products
and their manufacture. Butter technology is rarely covered in
sufficient detail. It is therefore highly appreciated that one of the
world’s leading dairy scientists and technologists, Børge K.Mortensen
from Denmark, has taken on the challenge to write a textbook about
butter and related products, covered in 144 pages.With his practical
experience in butter production and outstanding knowledge about
the subject from scientific work with butter during years, he is probably
the most competent professional to present the interesting story
and information about butter. More than 15 years teaching of dairy
science students of the subjects has given the author a specific understanding
of how to present the subject pedagogically correct.
The book may be considered as a necessity for students attending
dairy technology courses at various levels of food science and technology
educationworldwide. Also, practical butter makers and dairy
managers will gain great benefit fromreading the book by improving
andupdating theirknowledge of the technology of butter and related
products.
