Growth and survival of L. innocua and TAC in artificially inoculated Turkish White Cheese during manufacturing and storage periods, with respect to different level of contamination of L. innocua were investigated. Cheese products were manufactured by the short-set procedure in pilot-plant-sized vats, as in AOÇ dairy factory. Pasteurized cow̕s milk was inoculated with L. innocua for obtaining the initial loads of 3.84 and 7.12 log CFU/ml. Bacterial load of inoculated milk, whey, post-ripened curd and post-salted cheese was determined during processing at 20±5ðC. Cheeses were stored in 16% saline solution at 4 ± 2ðC for up to 45 days. Samples were taken from each treatment and analysed on 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 45 days. Total decrease of L. innocua in Turkish White Cheese with each inoculum dose was approximately 2 logs during the storage period. L. innocua values were also compared with TAC values. The results had shown that, if pasteurization is not as sufficient as to kill this bacteria in contaminated raw milk, or if there is post-process contamination, Listeria can survive during the manufacture and storage, although they decrease in number. Storage (ripening) period for consumption of cheeses should be at least 90 and 178 days, in low and high inoculum dose, respectively. Physico-chemical properties of cheese as pH, acidity, salt, fat, moisture contents during storage period were determined. Salt concentration, pH value and storage temperature had a cumulative bactericidal effect on microorganisms. In this respect, effect of implementing HACCP method on reducing the Listerial contamination of Turkish White Cheese was determined for checking the quality problems in a cheese plant and for directing the companies as a guide.

Effect of traditional starter cultures on quality of cheese Kayagil, Fulya; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2006) In this study, the physico-chemical chances occurring in white cheese and possible effects of starter culture combinations to the ripening period during 30 days storage examinated. A total of thirty six lactic acid bacteria were isolated from a cheese made witohout using starter culture. For identification gram staining, catalase, gas production and coagulation tests were performed. For determination of species API50 CH (BioMérieux) and partial 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis were used. Four cheese were pro...
Behavior and control of Listeria innocua during manufacture and storage of Turkish White Cheese OZTURKOGLU, S; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Alpas, Hami (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-03-01) The physico-chemical changes occurring in Turkish White Cheese and the survival of Listeria innocua, total aerobic count (TAC) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in artificially inoculated Turkish White Cheese during manufacture and storage periods (45 days), with respect to different contamination levels of L. innocua were investigated. Turkish White Cheese was manufactured by the short-set procedure in pilot-plant-sized vats in a commercial dairy plant. Pasteurized cow's milk was inoculated with L. innocua to...
Identification of serotype specific dna marker for salmonella typhimurium by rapd-pcr method Aksoy, Ceren; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004) This study was performed for the identification of specific DNA marker using RAPD-PCR (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) method for serotype Salmonella Typhimurium which is one of the most prevalent serotype causing food poisining all over the world. The Primer 3 (RAPD 9.1), 5̕-CGT GCA CGC-3ء, was used in RAPD-PCR with 35 different Salmonella isolates. 12 of them were serotype Salmonella Typhimurium and 23 of them were belonging to other six different serotypes. Accordingly, two different 300 bp and 700 bp ...
Release and characterization of beta-galactosidase from lactobacillus plantarum Kara, Fırat; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004) The enzyme, β-galactosidase (E.C.3.2.1.23) has been used for dairy industry for removing lactose from milk and milk by-products. In this study, three strains namely L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, L. plantarum DSM 20246 and L. plantarum E081 were used for β-galactosidase release by sonication method. The peak of the total enzyme activity was found to be corresponding to late logarithmic or early stationary phase of all strains. As a disruption method sonication was used for the release of β-galactosidase. Meanwhil...
Biochemical and genetic characterization of halobacterium salinarium strain isolated from Tuz Lake in central Anatolia Çakıcı, Özgür; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biochemistry (2004) In this study, a halophilic archaea Halobacterium salinarium TG13 which is isolated from Tuz Lake in Central Anatolia was characterized biochemically and genetically. Halobacterium salinarium DSM3754 and Halobacterium salinarium S9 strains were used as a reference strain through the experiments. In biochemical characterization; total protein profiles of strains was compared by using 1D SDS PAGE. Total protein profile of the isolated strain has shown differences. The SDS-PAGE profile of the purified purple m...
