 ABSTRACT

Cream based spread is a fat spread with cream as major source of fat. Along with cream, vegetable oils have been used to enhance the spreadability and improve the fatty acid profile of the spread. Fatty acid profile analysis of the spread revealed that incorporation of olive oil and rice bran oil in the spread along with milk fat improved the fatty acid profile of the product with approximately 20 per cent decrease in the saturated fatty acid, about 14 and 10 per cent increase in MUFAs and PUFAs respectively when compared with milk fat. The cost of production of the spread was calculated to be Rs 19.81/100 g spread. The pilot scale consumer acceptability study showed that the product was well accepted.

Key words: spread, fatty acid profile, Consumer acceptability, Proximate composition
