The pH of basil and garlic added samples was determined decreased with increasing amounts of basil and garlic (p<0.05). The lightness and redness of T3 sample was significantly lower than the other samples (p<0.05). However, yellowness of T3 samples with basil and garlic was significantly higher than the Con (p<0.05). The viscosity of samples shown significantly increased with increasing amounts of basil and garlic (p<0.05). As the electronic nose and tongue analyzed data shown that the unique flavor of basil and garlic can added to processed butter.
