 15.61% water.

FIG. 159. Butter sample, 13.37% water; leaky, 2% brine. 



Microscopical views showing condition of water in butter. Fig. 148 shows that 

 the water has been incorporated in the form of very minute particles. 

 Storch found from nine million to sixteen million water particles per 

 cubic millimeter. Such butter appears dry and a little dull. Fig. 149 

 shows the water incorporated in medium-small particles. There was 

 on an average three and three-fifths millions of water particles per cubic 

 millimeter in such butter. Fig. 150 shows condition of water in leaky 

 butter. Storch found about two and one-half million water particles 

 per cubic millimeter in butter having such a body. (Views by 

 Storch.)
