Kaya, Mükerrem; Sayın, Bilge; Çinar Topçu, Kübra; Kaban, Güzin
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of autochthonous strains (Pediococcus pentosaceus 128b, Latilactobacillus sakei S15, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum S91, L. plantarum S24 and Staphylococcus carnosus G109) used as mono and mixed starter cultures on the quality attributes of traditionally produced sucuk, a Turkish dry fermented sausage, in a local small-scale facility. At the end of ripening, samples underwent comprehensive microbiological and physicochemical analyses. The use of autochthonous starter cultures (ASC) showed no statistically significant influence on thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and water activity value. Lower pH values were observed in groups with autochthonous lactic acid bacteria strains (ALABS) compared to the control group. However, ALABS inhibited Micrococcus/Staphylococcus growth by rapidly lowering the pH, except in the groups with S. carnosus G109. The use of ASC led to an increase in the L* values of sucuk samples, except monoculture L. plantarum S91. The correlation heat map illustrating the relationships between the starter cultures and volatile compounds revealed that all groups containing L. plantarum S91 exhibit a volatile compound profile different from other single or mixed cultures. According to the results of the principal component analysis performed to determine the relationship between the chemical groups of the starter cultures and volatile compounds, the groups containing L. plantarum S91 differed from the other groups and showed positive correlations with phenols, furans, acids, terpenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, nitrogenous compounds, esters, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Arslaner, Ayla; Türkmen, Özgenur
The characteristics of Erzincan Tulum cheese (ETC), an artisanal ewe-milk cheese and the first cheese with the designation of origin in Türkiye, are closely related to the geographical location of production and the human factors influencing every stage of the production process. This study aims to determine the influence of different coagulants (namely, herb-fortified artisanal lamb rennet (ALR), artisanal calf rennet (ACR), and commercial calf rennet (CCR)) on the biochemical, physicochemical characteristics, and volatile compounds of ETC, produced on the Heybeli plateau of the Erzincan province. Using artisanal rennet increased total solids, fat content, and acidity while decreasing pH and aw values. The highest PTA-SN (soluble nitrogen in 5 % phosphotungstic acid, w/v) and TCA-SN (soluble nitrogen in 12 % trichloroacetic acid w/w) values at the end of the ripening period (day 150 of storage) were observed in the ALR-Cheese (ALR-C). Furthermore, this cheese exhibited the highest rate of lipolysis (P < 0.01). Electrophoretograms revealed that αs-1 and β-casein degradation rates were the most significant in ALR-C. Following the 30th day of storage, the highest counts of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were found in ALR-C. The most rapid reduction of coliforms, E. coli, and yeast-mold was observed in this sample throughout the storage. Eighty-nine volatile compounds were identified in the samples. Particularly noteworthy, ALR-C exhibited the highest ratios of hexanoic, octanoic, and decanoic acids after 90 days of storage. Additionally, steroid compounds were exclusively detected in this sample. The findings of this research make a substantial contribution to the existing literature concerning rennet types and the aromatic profile of ETC. These aspects are crucial for further investigations to enhance the cheese's quality and safety.

The study aims to evaluate the technological properties of autochthonous strains (Lactobacillus sakei S15, Lactobacillus plantarum S24, L. plantarum S91, Pediococcus pentosaceus S128b and Staphylococcus carnosus G109) in Turkish dry fermented sausage (sucuk). After 24 h of fermentaPtion, all lactic acid bacteria strains reduced the pH to below 5.0, while the pH in the control group was above 5.3. The number of lactic acid bacteria strains reached 108–109 cfu g−1 during fermentation. Staphylococcus carnosus G109 remained at the inoculation level of 106 cfu g−1 during ripening. Lactobacillus sakei S15 as mono-culture showed higher TBARS values compared to other strains. The control group had the lowest L* value and autochthonous strains caused no significant difference for a* value. According to principal component analysis results, most volatile compounds were positively correlated with the group containing only L. sakei S15.
