What it is
Dehydrated butter is butter that has had most of its water removed. It is made by drying butter, often through spray-drying or freeze-drying, to create a powder or granular form. This process concentrates the butterfat and flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dehydrated butter to add a rich, buttery flavor and mouthfeel to foods without adding significant moisture. It is often found in dry mixes, soups, sauces, baked goods, and snack foods where a concentrated butter flavor is desired.
Health notes
Dehydrated butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a dairy product, it is a source of fat, including saturated fat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated butter and its components. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Dehydrated butter is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
