THE EFFECT OF PEANUT TAHINI UTILIZATION ON THE MINERAL CONTENT OF HALVA
Abstract
Halva is a traditional Turkish dessert with origins in the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. Made from tahini, sugar, soapwort extract, and various additives, it is widely consumed in the Middle East and Mediterranean, particularly in Turkiye. Often enjoyed for breakfast and special occasions, tahini halva can be enriched with ingredients like cocoa, pistachios, and hazelnuts. This study produced halva using different ratios of peanut tahini (50% and 100%), with sesame tahini as the control and analyzed the mineral content of the samples. The halvas were prepared by mixing tahini with other components and kneading until the desired consistency was achieved. Mineral content was analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry to measure macro-minerals (Ca, K, Na, Mg, P) and micro-minerals (Fe, Zn, Mn). Results indicated that halva made with sesame tahini had higher levels of calcium, sodium, magnesium, phosphor, and zinc. In contrast, halva made with peanut tahini contained higher levels of potassium, iron, and manganese. Thus, the study concluded that the ratio of peanut tahini significantly affects the mineral content of halva.
