RESEARCH ON THE EVOLUTION OF SENSORY AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BUTTER WITH THE ADDITION OF MINT AND PEPPERMINT

Abstract:

This research aims to develop a new technology for the enrichment of butter with mint oil and mint oil which will improve its nutritional quality and may become one of the consumer’s preferences. Also mint has an aromatic, characteristic odor with stinking, with a pungent, refreshing taste,, and mint oil contains numerous minerals and nutrients including iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, folic acid, potassium and copper, vitamin A and C.
