Abstract

Dairy products are very important foods that supply nutrients for human beings. Butter is one of the popular dairy products in Oromia. This study aimed to assess some of the physicochemical properties of butter collected from local markets of North Shewa Zone of Oromia Regional State. Butter samples were collected on market day. A total of 118 butter samples were collected from three districts. Standard analytical procedures were used to analyse the physicochemical properties of the butter samples. The fat, moisture, free fatty acid and ash contents of butter ranged between 70.35 % - 92.34 %; 5.95 % - 27.95 %, 0.27 % - 9.69 %; and 0.04 % - 0.31 % respectively. Calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus content of the butter ranged between 13.59 ppm- 537.49 ppm, 2.57 ppm – 42.12 ppm, 7.98 ppm – 224.17 ppm; and 12.20 ppm – 434.76 ppm respectively. The average free fat acidity and moisture content of butter failed to comply with codex international standards. Butter from Kuyu district contained higher amount of fat content when compared with Kimbibit and Wachale districts. The free fatty acid content of butter showed large variation among butter samples collected which could be attributed to storage of butter for market size; and unhygienic dairy processing technique. The concentration of mineral elements in butter followed the order Ca>P>K>Na>Mg>Fe>Zn. Further study on fatty acid profile, and effect of butter storage materials need to be investigated.
