    Physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of Soymilk Kefir
    Kesenkas, H; Dinkçi, N; Seçkin, K; Kinik, Ö; Gönç, S; Ergönül, PG; Kavas, G
    The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characterization of kefir samples produced from cow/soy milk mixtures was carried out during storage at refrigerated conditions. Gross composition of samples was very closely related except lactose contents. Tyrosine levels of kefirs were also very similar. Leucine contents were increased with the raised soymilk ratio. Serum separation increased during storage for all samples. The lowest viscosity value was obtained when the soymilk were mixed to cow milk in a ratio of 50:50. Lactic acid was the highest one among the other organic acids. Microbiological population was not affected with addition of soymilk significantly. Generally sensory scores decreased with increasing soymilk ratio.

    EFFECT OF SOME PRO AND PREBIOTICS ON FATTY ACID AND ORGANIC ACID COMPOSITION OF SYMBIOTIC GOAT CHEESE
    Kesenkas, H; Ergonul, PG; Akan, E; Kinik, Ö
    The effects of probiotic cultures including Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei and prebiotics including inulin, oligofructose and their blends on fatty acid and organic acid compositions of goat-milk white cheese were examined throughout 90-day storage period. Goat-milk cheeses were produced in an industrial plant following the standard production procedure for white cheeses, with some modifications. The highest value of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in experimental cheeses were found be palmitic acid (C16) and oleic acid (C18: 1) respectively. The most abundant organic acid among all experimental samples was lactic acid whereas the lowest one was acetic acid. The results indicated that the probiotic culture type and the percentage of prebiotic added to goat milk effected fatty and organic acid contents of goat-milk white cheeses at different levels.

    The effect of using pro and prebiotics on the aromatic compounds, textural and sensorial properties of symbiotic goat cheese
    Kinik, Ö; Kesenkas, H; Ergönül, PG; Akan, E
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of probiotics as an adjunct culture, and the use of inulin and oligofructose as a prebiotic product, on symbiotic goat cheeses during their ripening period. The control group had the lowest value in terms of aromatic compounds, and the probiotics used in the production of cheese increased the aromatic substances. The control group was found to have the highest hardness values and that the use of prebiotics and probiotic cultures in cheese production significantly changed the textural profile depending on the probiotic and prebiotic type. The most favoured cheeses were found to contain E. faecium and oligofructose.

    Antioxidant Properties of Kefir Produced from Different Cow and Soy Milk Mixtures
    Kesenkas, H; Dinkçi, N; Seçkin, K; Kinik, Ö; Gönç, S
    The aim of this study is to determine the antioxidant properties of kefir samples produced from different cow/soy milk mixtures. Antioxidative activities such as the inhibition of ascorbate autoxidation, reducing activity, the scavenging effect of superoxide anion radicals and hydrogen peroxide of kefir samples were determined. Kefirs produced from whole soymilk had the highest inhibition rate of ascorbate autoxidation. Reducing activities of kefir samples, expressed as equivalent amounts of cysteine, were found statistically different and elevated by increased soymilk ratio. Results of the inhibition of superoxide radical generation of cow, cow/soy and soymilk kefir samples were found statistically different. However, the effect of fermentation on this activity neither with kefir grain nor culture was significant. Results indicated that none of kefir samples exhibit a hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity.

    Influence of a vegetable fat blend on the texture, microstructure and sensory properties of kashar cheese
    Dinkçi, N; Kesenkas, H; Seçkin, AK; Kinik, Ö; Gönç, S
    The possibility of using a commercial vegetable fat blend in Kashar cheese was investigated. Kashar cheeses were manufactured by replacing the milk fat (MF) with a vegetable fat (VF) blend. Kashar cheeses from whole milk were also manufactured to compare textural, microstructural, meltability, color and sensory characteristics during a ripening period of 90 days. The use of vegetable fat decreased the meltability, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness of the cheese; while increasing adhesiveness where springiness was not affected. Differences became less notable toward the end of ripening. Scanning electron micrographs displayed VF cheese with a compact network with small and uniform fat globules embedded in the protein matrix. The MF cheese exhibited an open protein matrix containing milk fat globules of various sizes and forms. The color analysis demonstrated significant differences between cheeses. Finally, all sensory characteristics of the cheese were affected by the vegetable fat blend.

    The Volatile Compounds, Free Fatty Acid Composition and Microbiological Properties of Sepet Cheese Packaged with Different Modified Atmosphere Conditions
    Akpinar, A; Yerlikaya, O; Kinik, Ö; Kahraman, C; Korel, F; Uysal, HR
    The objective of this present study was to investigate traditional sepet cheese samples which were packaged with different modified atmosphere conditions (MAP). The volatile compounds, free fatty acid composition and microbiological properties of Sepet cheeses were analyzed on 1., 45., 90. and 180. day of the storage period at +4 degrees C. In packaking of cheese, three different modified atmosphere packaging conditions were tried. These cheeses were packaged into polystyrene packages that include 100% N-2 (N), 80% N-2 + 20% CO2 (NC), 100% CO2 (C). In accordance with volatile compounds of sepet cheese samples, it was shown that control cheese sample was different from MAP samples in terms of aroma fractions. MAP samples showed variability in preservation of aroma fractions. When fatty acid composition during the storage period was researched, it was found that there was a significant difference in all samples. When microbiological properties were investigated statistically, it was determined that there was not a significant difference in samples during storage. In general, it could be said that sepet cheeses that were packaged in different modified conditions protected their specialities better.
