The aim of this study
was to determine physicochemical and microbiological properties of sucuk
produced with different heat treatment temperatures. The effect of heat treatment
at 60 (for 15 minutes), 65 (for 10 minutes) and 70°C
(as reached) on chemical (pH, moisture, fat, protein, salt,
ash, free fatty acidity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, residual
nitrite, nitrosomyoglobin, total pigments, nitrosomyoglobin conversion ratio), physical
(L*, a*, b*, nitrozation, discolorization), microbiological (total mesophilic
aerobic bacterial counts, Staphylococcus and Micrococcus counts and lactic acid bacteria counts) and sensory
quality characteristics of heat treated sucuk were investigated. Results were
compared with traditional sucuk samples produced under commercial conditions.
Heat-treated sucuks were fermented for 3 days and traditional ones were
fermented for 9 days under controlled conditions. Significant differences in
physicochemical and sensory properties of produced sucuks were observed during
production. The overall quality attributes of traditional sucuk were different in
comparison to heat treated sucuks. Decreases in residual nitrite, nitrosomyoglobin
and total pigment amounts in heat treatment process were determined. Nitrosopigment
transformation ratio increased; however, in terms of physicochemical,
microbiological and sensory properties, heat treatment at 60°C for 15 minutes
resulted in sucuk samples with better acceptability.
