Assessment of butter authenticity in combination with animal fat is a major challenge. Changing the butter composition can affect crystallization and polymorphism properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thermal behavior of butter combined with (0-15% w/w) bovine tallow using Digital Calorimetric Scanning, and to determine fatty acid profile and isothermal microstructure in order to complete DSC data. According to the statistical analysis, obtained L_Pseudo equations show that in the crystallization curve, with increase of bovine tallow percentage in the butter, the onset temperature of peak 1 and amount of heat released in peak 2 increased and the onset temperature of peak 2 decreased and peak 1 became wider. In the melting curves, with increase of bovine tallow percentage, the onset temperature of peaks 1 and 2 increased. Regarding the value of R 2 , the onset temperature of peak 2 in the melting curve had capability of estimation 78%. The crystal morphology of butter samples was different and with increased temperature, larger crystals were observed. In general, scans of calorimetric results revealed that DSC is a valuable method for studying butter in combination with animal fat and also can be utilized for distinguishing pure fat from adulterated one.

The detection of animal fats such as tallow in butter using standard criteria is more difficult than vegetable fats. In order to perform a complete assessment, several methods are likely to be used together. In the experimental design of this research, compositional characteristics such as fatty acids, sterols and triacylglycerols, along with the conventional physicochemical characteristics of butter mixed with different percentages of tallow (0–15% w/w) were evaluated. An increase of less than 5% (w/w) in bovine tallow content in butter physicochemical tests, sterols and fatty acids could not indicate the adulteration level but the ratio of C6+8+10+12/C18 fatty acids, C52/C50، C52/C48, C52/C46 triacylglycerols, S1, S3, S5-value equation and C52 triacylglycerols could show this adulteration level in butter. Also, the successive use of fatty acids and triacylglycerols resulted in the capability to determine adulteration in butter including bovine tallow above 1% (w/w).

Date Syrup is a natural sweetener that is suitable replacement for sugar in food stuffs formulation. In this Research Amounts of 25-100 percent of sugar in Gaz formulation were replaced with date syrup and to study effect of its use in product formulation, characteristics of texture, colour and sensory analyse of treatments were investigated. Statistical analyse of data was also done by SPSS software and Duncan test. The results of this research showed that amount of used date syrup in formulation had a significant effect on colour parameters (L*,a*,b*), texture characteristics and sensory analyse of samples. By increase of date syrup in Gaz formulation, samples texture became softer than control sample and yellowness and redness index of samples were increased.
