what is the diference between margarine and butter?

Answer 1

butter is made from milk, and margarine is made from vegetable oils and possibly animal fat

Answer 2

First of all, butter, of course, is made from cream, produced by cows, and by law in this country, has a butterfat content of at least 80%. There are some premium butters on the market with 81% up to 85% butterfat. Water, milk solids, and — often — salt make up the rest. The amount of salt in salted butter ranges from 1.5% to 3%.

Margarine is made from a vegetable oil, although when it was developed in 1869 by HippolyteMèges-Mouriés in France, it was based on beef fat (suet) flavored with milk. Vegetable oils are liquid at room temperature, but a process called hydrogenation was developed in the early 1900s that makes them solid at room temperature. Most margarine today is made with corn oil or soybean oil.

Like butter, margarine is 80% fat and 20% water and solids, of which about 3% is salt. It is often flavored with skim milk or a synthetically produced chemical compound that mimics the flavor of butter. It is sometimes fortified with vitamins A and D to match the nutritional make-up of butter, and includes salt, artificial color, and preservatives.
