One day some butter melted and Hillary decided to cool it slowly. Which of the following best describes this product? (Note: think of the results in comparison of contrast of the melted butter rapidly cooled). to Top

  1. This butter would likely have better plascitiy.
  2. Cooling rate does not influence crystallinity in fats.
  3. The dispersion would likely look more solid as opposed to showing the crystals in oily oil dispersion.
  4. The cooled butter likely would have large crystals dispersed in an "oily" appearing medium.
  5. the crystals will be larger and so they have less surface area to spread the oil and they will appear larger and the medium will appear oily.
