The Effects of Different Drying and Packaging Applications on the Microbiological Properties of Sliced Figs

Abstract

In this work, some quality characteristics of dried Sarılop figs obtained from Aydın province, during storage after different drying and packaging applications were compared. Figs were dried traditionally under the sun and by lyophilization, and dried product was packed conventionally and under nitrogen gas and stored in room conditions for 6 months. Chemical (acidity, total sugar, ash, dry matter), physical (color) and microbial (total mesophilic aerobic bacteria, mold and yeast, coliform group bacteria) analyses were done on fresh and dried figs. Total bacteria and total coliform bacteria counts were higher in freeze-dried figs (6.57 log cfu g-1; 4.32 log cfu g-1) than the ones dried under the sun (5.13 log cfu g-1; 3.76 log cfu g-1). Yeast and mold counts were higher in the sun dried figs (5.69 log cfu g-1). It was determined that microbial load decreased with storage under room conditions for 6 months, and these values were lower in dried figs packed with nitrogen. It also was determined that the color values were better preserved in lyophilized samples packed with nitrogen.
