Sızgıt as a Traditional Food of Cappadocia: Differences in Traditional and Commercial Production
Abstract
Sızgıt which is consumed likely and frequently a
traditional meat product producing by Cappadocian people. This study aims to
determine the physicochemical and microbiological properties of traditional and
commercial Sızgıt. pH, lipid oxidation and
cholesterol level, protein, fat and moisture content, fatty acid composition,
aerobic mesophilic bacteria, enterobacteria, mold and yeast, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella counts were determined. Fat
and cholesterol content of traditional samples had lower than the commercial
samples while the protein content of commercial samples had highest
(P<0.05). Saturated
fatty acid levels of traditional samples were higher than commercial samples
(P<0.05). The highest
lipid oxidation values were determined in traditional samples. Salmonella and S.
aureus which are pathogenic bacteria were not determined in both types of Sızgıt
samples. The results indicated that the public
should be informed about food safety and the sensitivity to the production and
consumption of these products should be increased. On the other hand, ethnic
and traditional characteristics on the production and the storage conditions of
the Sızgıt in Cappadocian should be
preserved.
