carried out. Cookies prepared with varied concentrations of hydrogenated fat and peanut butter (100:00, 80:20,
60:40, 40:60, 20:80 and 00:100) were analyzed to check fatty acid composition and textural characteristics.
Palmitic acid, Myristic acid and Stearic acid (Saturated fatty acids) were higher in Control cookies, which level
was reduced with increasing concentration of PB in different treatments. Linoleic acid and Oleic acid
(Unsaturated fatty acids) were lower in control cookies, which were increased with increasing concentration of
Peanut butter in different treatments. Oil stability index of experimental cookies increased up to 3.62% with
increasing concentration of PB. Cookies hardness was also increased with increasing concentration of PB.
Cookies with 40% PB had beneficial fatty acid composition with stable oil quality and also had a greater
appreciable sensory quality by evaluation panel. Objective Preparation of peanut butter Preparation of cookies
in different ratio of vegetable fat to peanut butter Texture analysis and sensory quality.

Peanuts are actually a legume and have more protein than any other nut with levels comparable
to or better than serving of beans. After the peanut oil is extracted, the protein content in the cake
can reach 50 % (Zhao et al. 2011). Peanuts contain all the 20 amino acids in variable proportions
and is the biggest source of the protein called “arginine” (USDA 2014). According to Protein
Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) peanut proteins and other legume proteins
such as soy proteins are nutritionally equivalent to meat and eggs for human growth and health
(FAO 2002). The amino acid profile of the peanut meals shows that it can be an ingredient for
protein fortification (Yu et al. 2006). Since the proteins in peanuts is plant based, it carries with it
additional components that have positive health benefits like fiber and unique bioactive
components, unlike animal protein. The peanut proteins have been found to have good
emulsifying activity, emulsifying stability, foaming capacity, excellent water retention and high
solubility, and can also provide a new high protein food ingredient product formulation and
protein formulation in food industry (Wu et al. 2009). Based on these observations, recently
peanut protein has been incorporated into noodles (Wu et al. 2007) and infant formula, (Nimsate
et al. 2010). There is a renewed interest in the studies related to the flavors in the peanut kernel
and skin (Fig. (Fig.22).
Peanut butter
Peanut butter is an important RTE product among a wide range of processed forms of peanuts. In
addition to healthy fat composition, several antioxidative compounds present in peanuts and their
skin draw much attention as a functional food ingredient. The TPC and hydrophilic ORAC of
peanut butter were 14.1 GAE/g and 5702 μmol TE/100 g, respectively (Hathorn & Sanders,
2012). Furthermore, addition of peanut skins, which are rich sources of a number of phenolics
(TPC 158 GAE/g), increased the TPC and antioxidant activity of peanut butter. In addition Ma
et al. (2014) demonstrated that incorporation of ground peanut skins (PS) into peanut butter at
1.25, 2.5, 3.75, and 5.0% (w/w) resulted in a marked concentration-dependent increase in both
the TPC and antioxidant activity.

18.7 Peanut butter
The country produces 6.3 million tons of peanuts annually, making up 21% of the world’s total
production. It’s the second-highest producer of peanuts in the world. I
oday, India is the second-largest producer of peanuts in the world, and peanut
butter has become a common item on grocery lists across the country. The
journey of peanut butter from being a novel foreign product to a household
staple in India is a testament to its universal appeal and nutritional benefits.27-

nowadays, due to increasing health consciousness, some consumers are beginning to shun foods that
contain additives [3,10,15,16,17]. For peanut butter, and indeed for many other food products, the mantra
“the less the ingredients, the better” is becoming increasingly popular [15,18]. This might imply that, in the
future, the organoleptic appeal of peanut butter will be driven mainly by the naturalness of the taste of the
peanuts used and less reliant on additives. Accordingly, an inquiry into which peanut cultivars inherently
possess superior physicochemical attributes for the production of a natural peanut butter (with less or no
additives) that resonates well with consumers’ sensory quality expectations is increasingly a worthwhile
endeavor.
Functional food
Versatile spread The versatility of peanut butter also adds to its appeal. Whether you're
whipping up a quick sandwich for breakfast, adding a spoonful to your smoothie for a
post-workout protein boost, or baking it into cookies for a healthy treat, peanut butter is
a star ingredient that can elevate any dish.
