The acid present in butter is butyric acid (also known as butanoic acid).
Explanation:
Butyric acid (C₄H₈O₂) is a short-chain fatty acid that is responsible for the characteristic smell of rancid butter. In fresh butter, butyric acid is found in the form of glycerides, which are esters formed by glycerol and fatty acids. When butter spoils, bacteria break down the fat molecules, releasing free butyric acid, which has a strong and unpleasant smell.
Butyric acid plays a significant role in the flavor and aroma of butter, contributing to the creamy taste in small amounts.
