I'm sure it's acidic, I think it is. :)gay
Rancid butter contains butyric acid, which is responsible for the foul smell and taste associated with spoiled dairy products. Lactic acid and acetic acid may also be present in rancid butter as byproducts of bacterial fermentation.
The acid found in rancid butter is typically butyric acid. It gives off a strong, rancid smell and sour taste when butter goes bad.
The common name of the carboxylic acid found in rancid butter is butyric acid.
Rancid butter is acidic. The breakdown of fats in butter that causes it to go rancid can produce free fatty acids, which have acidic properties.
I think it is an acid but you will have to check on that
Rancid butter is not an acid or an alkali. It is the result of fats in butter breaking down due to exposure to oxygen, light, or heat, creating unpleasant flavors and odors.
no because it cant be if it was it would kill you
Butyric acid has a rancid, cheesy odor often described as resembling vomit or body odor.
This description matches the characteristics of butyric acid, a colorless organic acid with a strong rancid butter smell. Butyric acid is commonly found in dairy products like milk and butter, as well as in animal fats and plant oils. Its pungent odor is often described as unpleasant and similar to vomit.
No. It may kill any bacteria, but the butter will still smell and taste rancid.
Go buy fresh butter
At room temperature butter decomposes. One of the products of decomposition is butyric acid (a saturated fatty acid) , which gives spoiled butter a rancid taste. I keep butter in the freezer. Clarified butter (or Indian Ghee) will last many many months in the frig and probably indefinite in the freezer.
