Effect of Addition of Garlic and Ginger Powder on Physicochemical, Microbiological and Organoleptic Characteristics of White Cheese

Minerals content of processed cheese by addition of 
ginger powder
The mineral contents of the control sample and different 
concentration of processed cheese by addition ginger powder are also 
shown in (Table 3). In processed cheese sample the concentrations 
of sodium (Na) the highest one was recorded in cheese sample 
produced by 2% of ginger powder which was 87.33mg/100 g. And 
while the lowest one in cheese sample produced by 6% of ginger 
powder which was 74.23mg/100g. These results are in line with those 
found by [19] which was 85.82. Statistically, significantly different 
(P<0.005) between cheese sample in concentrations of Sodium. The 
data presented in (Table 4&3) also, showed that the concentrations 
of potassium (K) in control sample was 83.33mg/100g higher than 
found in processed cheese by different levels of ginger powder 2, 4, 6% 
which were 58.33, 55.33, 54.33mg/100g in 2, 4 and 6%, respectively.
In a previous study, Garlic induced significant epigastric pressure, 
stinging, and warmth, while intensity of cramps, satiety, nausea, 
and pain was not significantly different to placebo. Garlic induced 
an immediate, short-lived fundic relaxation. No effect of allic in on 
proximal gastric mechanosensitive and compliance was observed 
[26].
These results were higher than those reported by [19] which was
