-
A sort of concrete oil, obtained from the cream that forms on the surface of the milk furnished by the females of the mammalia, especially by the cow and the goat. Fresh butter is very nutritious, whilst the rancid is irritating. The ancient chemists gave the name Butter to many of the metallic chlorides. It has also been applied to vegetable substances, which resemble, in some respects, the butter obtained from milk. The essential fatty matter in it is bu'tyrin or bu'tyrate of glyc'erin.
