Sage "Salvia officinalis" and olive oil have many health benefits as good source of antioxidant compounds. In this study, sage powder and olive oil were in Labneh for increasing its health benefits. The incorporated results showed that the sage powder has no influence on pH, chemical composition and rheological properties, while olive oil significantly reduced the hardness and viscosity of Labneh. The treatments of Labneh with sage powder and olive oil were highly accepted in flavor by panelists.
