INVESTIGATION OF CHEMICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF STRAINED (TORBA) YOGHURTS PRODUCED DURING THE SUMMER AND WINTER SEASONS IN DENİZLİ
Abstract
In this study some chemical and microbiological analysis of 57 strained (Torba) yoghurt which were taken from 10 different markets during summer and winter seasons in Denizli city centre have been carried out. According to the results, there were no significant statistical differences in chemical and microbiological properties of torba yoghurts. According to Regulations of Food Products of Turkish Republic, analysed samples were not appropriate while considering; dry material, 98.25 %; mould-yeast, 85 %; sodium benzoate, 28.07 % and acidity, 12.28 % point of views. For these reasons, it should be considered some new arrangements in the Regulations of Food Products of Turkish Republic for torba yoghurt.
