Determination of Microbiological Quality of Kokorec Samples Consumed in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey

Abstract

Kokorec is popular traditional nourishment which is produced daily in our country. This study aims to designate the microbiological quality of the Kokorec which is served in Afyonkarahisar and 50 different samples at 10 different retail markets are involved in this research. Kokorec samples are analyzed in terms of Total Aerobic Mesophilic Bacteria (TAMB), Total Aerobic Psychrophilic Bacteria (TAPB), Enterobacteriaceae, Koliform, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp., Lactobacillus spp., Staphylococcus / Micrococcus, Yeast / Mould. The results of the analyses are found as 6.29, 4.60, 4.35, 2.43, 2.10, 4.17, 5.63, 2.85, 5.89 log kob/g respectively. As the result of the research of the Kokorec samples that are served for consumption, it is found that their microbiological quality is low, they contaminated with the undesirable microorganisms in different levels and the consumption of the Kokorec carries a potential risk for the community health

Afyonkarahisar’da Tüketime Sunulan Kokoreçlerin Mikrobiyolojik Kalitesinin Belirlenmesi

Öz

Kokoreç ülkemizde günlük olarak üretilen ve tüketilen geleneksel bir üründür. Yapılan bu çalışmada, Afyonkarahisar’da tüketimine sunulan kokoreçlerin mikrobiyolojik kalitesini belirlemek amacıyla 10 farklı satış noktasından toplam 50 adet kokoreç numunesi toplanmıştır. Kokoreç numuneleri Toplam Aerop Mezofilik Bakteri (TAMB), Toplam Aerop Psikrofilik Bakteri (TAPB), Enterobacteriaceae, Koliform, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp., Lactobacillus spp., Staphylococcus/Micrococcus, Mikrobiyolojik analiz sonuçları, sırasıyla 6.29, 4.60, 4.35, 2.43, 2.10, 4.17, 5.63, 2.85, 5.89 logkob/g seviyelerinde tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak tüketime sunulan kokoreç örneklerinin mikrobiyolojik kalitelerinin düşük olduğu, istenilmeyen mikroorganizmalarla kontamine olduğu ve halk sağlığı açısından potansiyel bir risk oluşturabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır
