Abstract
Butter samples produced from cream (C) or yoghurt (Y) were evaluated for fatty acid (FA) composition and pesticide residues. The results showed that yoghurt butter has a higher health-promoting index (HPI) compared to the cream butter and overall acceptability scores at the end of storage. The yoghurt butter contained 62.81 g 100 g-1 saturated, 3.50 g 100 g-1 monounsaturated, and 2.44 g 100 g-1 polyunsaturated fatty acids whereas the cream butter contained 69.99 g 100 g-1 saturated, 3.57 g 100 g-1 monounsaturated and 2.81 g 100 g-1 polyunsaturated fatty acids, respectively. The peroxides levels varied from 0.90 for the cream to 1.44 mEq O2 kg-1 for yoghurt butter samples. The moisture content varied from 16.21 to 13.19 and 13.83 to 13.57 g 100 g-1 and the total lipid content varied from 77.5 to 79.5 and 83.0 to 83.5 g 100 g-1 for cream and yoghurt butter samples, respectively. The 13 pesticide compounds in butter samples did not exceed the legal limits.
