I am making carotene butter by mixing clarified butter and carrot juice.
The idea is that I now need to separate the carotene infused butter from the juice. The only problem being that they are very well emulsified together.
I tried blending it more until the heat and friction would break it, but that has not happened, even after more than 5 minutes of blending on high (my blender's limit.
I tried heating the liquid to a boil but this did nothing either.
Lastly, I tried decanting it, but it barely separates even after a long time.
How can I break the emulsion?
Best Answer
Chill it.
The butter will solidify and upon remelting the emulsion will be broken.
I've never had a butter emulsion not break after chilling.
