This study was carried out to evaluate the nutritional properties of spreadable liver product. The composition of fresh hog liver used as raw material was 70.5% moisture, 5.2% fat, 20.3% protein and 1.2% ash. The composition of the spreadable liver product was 55.3% moisture, 19.4% protein, 21.6% fat and 3.7% ash. The total amino acid content of fresh liver was 18.69 g/100 g with glutamic acid at the highest level of 2.57 g/100 g. The total amino acid content of liver product was 18.03 g/100 g with glutamic acid at 2.28 g/100 g. The essential amino acid content was found to be 42% of total amino acids. The fatty acid analysis of fresh liver revealed oleic acid to be present at the highest level of 28% in the unsaturated fatty acid portion, and palmitic acid to be highest at 20.7% in the saturated fatty acid portion. The oleic acid content of the liver product was 40%, and the palmitic acid content was 20.4%. The level of cholesterol in fresh liver was 178.0 mg/100 g compared to 118.0 mg/100 g in the liver product. Regarding mineral analysis, the K and P contents of fresh liver were 362.2 mg/100 g and 339.1 mg/100 g, respectively, and 336.1 mg/100 g and 213.3 mg/100 g in the liver product, respectively. Many other minerals including Na, Mg, Ca and Fe were present in the product. Based on these results, the spreadable liver product made with hog liver was found to be a quality food with nutritional benefits and that is easy to consume.
