In this study, it was aimed to add a functional food property to the ice cream, which is a popular food, by adding propolis. At the same time, study aims to provide a widespread consumption potential to propolis which is impossible to be consumed in raw form and whose benefits and functional properties not known by consumers. 6 groups of ice cream containing control group and 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5% propolis powder were obtained from prepared ice cream mix. Mineral substance analysis to propolis sample and ice cream mix groups applied. According to the results, the addition of propolis had no effect on mineral and heavy metal amounts of ice cream mix groups. Propolis-added ice cream is thought to have the potential to offer new functional food to consumers of all ages.
