    In this study, the quality of produced products have a great importance. For this purpose, raw milk samples is obtained from Atatürk University Dairy Plant for every four seasons separately (summer, autumn, winter, spring) to protect human health and produce quality products. Physical and chemical properties (dry matter, fat, ash, protein, specific gravity, acidity and pH) of raw milk samples and microbiological (somatic cell count, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), mould, yeast, coliform bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)) properties were investigated. Dry matter, ash (P<0.05) and fat (P<0.01) values of raw milk samples were affected significantly by dairy farm, meanwhile protein, specific gravity, pH and acidity values were not affected (P>0.05). Seasons had a significant effect on dry matter, protein, fat (P<0.05), ash and pH (P<0.01) values of raw milk samples. But, seasons did not have a significant effect on only specific gravity and acidity values (P>0.05). TAMB, yeast, mould counts indicated significantly changes based on dairy farms and seasons. On the other hand, coliform bacteria was not affected (P>0.05) by dairy farms and seasons. S. aureus counts were affected statistically by only seasons (P<0.01).

    The goal of this study was to determine some physicochemical and microbiological properties of Erzurum butter. Random samples (n = 30) were collected from different retail markets throughout Erzurum province. The pH, acidity, and melting point values of samples were 3.88, 0.47%, and 30.03 degrees C, respectively. The salt, fat, and moisture values of some samples (sample no 1, 14, and 18) were not harmony with Turkish Food Codex. The highest and lowest peroxide, iodine, saponification, Reichert-Meissl (RM), and Polenske values were found to be in the range of 0-0.51 mEqO2/kg, 22.97-38.64, 195.45-228.54, 17.08-30.-56, and 0.72-1.80, respectively. The refractive index value (RI) was changed from 1.4591 to 1.4620. Total coliforms, aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), lactic acid bacteria (cultured in MRS and M17), and mould and yeasts mean counts were 1.07 log CFU g-1, 6.79 log CFU g-1, 6.45 log CFU g-1, 6.76 log CFU g-1, and 5.33 log CFU g-1, respectively. There were high differences in physicochemical and microbiological properties of butter might be attributed to a non-standard production process as well as non-standard raw material. In sum, the sanitation and storage conditions should be improved from production to consumption to improve the butter quality.
