LH-butter can serve as a carrier of probiotics with viable counts
of around 6 log10cfu/g after the churning process. It contained a
significantly higher fat content, lower moisture and ash, higher
acid value and a softer texture than the control. The higher acid
value suggested a higher number of free fatty acids were generated
upon triacylglycerol hydrolysis by L. helveticus. Butter produced
from fermented cream contained a higher amount of unsaturated
fatty acids than the control. These data suggested that the fermentation
of cream prior butter making could have altered the fatty
acid compositions that rendered the product softer despite a
higher fat content
