Taking only a few minutes, the test consists of churning one-third ounce, nine grams, of -cream hi a Babcock test bottle at W degreea temperature, extracting the fat with a definite volume of benzine, and determining the color with a color- • imeter or by comparing K with a set of permanent' inorganic color standards using a simple comparator. Any cream tester can «up this method developed by O. A. Richardson, dairy industry profesaor, and M. Louisa Long, former staff member. • Butter varies in color with the seasons from pale to deep yellow, depending on the amount of carotene in the cow's feed. Buttermakers usually add harmless vegetable or synthetic dyes to standardize - the color. Carotene long has b«en advo-j cated as coloring initead of the usual butter colors because caro' tene is important nutritionally and j supplies vitamin A.
