Varieties containing herbs or spices Ali A. Hayaloglu 1*, Patrick F. Fox2 1 Department of Food Engineering, Engineering Faculty, Inonu University, 44280 Malatya, Turkey 2 Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, University College, Cork, Ireland Received 16 July 2007 – Accepted 11 October 2007 Abstract – Ripened cheese varieties containing herbs are traditional in Turkey and have been man- ufactured for more than 200 years in the east and southeast of the country. They are manufactured from raw milk, semi-hard in texture and salty in taste and have the aroma of garlic or thyme due to added herbs. Twenty-five types of herb, including Allium, Thymus, Silene and Ferula species which are most popular, are used individually or as appropriate mixtures. The most popular of these cheeses is Otlu which is produced mainly in the Van province of Turkey in small dairies and vil- lages, but now is produced in other cities of the eastern region of Turkey and its popularity increases continuously throughout Turkey. The manufacturing technology, chemical, biochemical and micro- biological status of Otlu cheese and the most common herbs used in its manufacture are reviewed. The possible effect of herbs used on the biochemical and microbiological characteristics of the cheeses are discussed also. In addition, some varieties of Otlu cheese and cheeses flavoured with spices (chilli pepper, black pepper, cinnamon, allspice, mint, thyme, cumin, etc.), including Carra, Surk and related cheeses, are discussed briefly. cheeses of Turkey / Otlu cheese / herbs / spice / proteolysis / microbiology 摘要 – 土耳其干酪 3: 含有药药草草和香料的干酪。摘要 : 在土耳其的东部和东南部地区, 生产 含有草药的传统成熟奶酪已有 200 多年的历史。这些干酪是用生鲜奶制作, 属于半硬质干 酪, 较咸, 由于添加了草药, 所以有大蒜或百里香的味道。葱、百里香、蝇子草和大茴香等 25 种草药是最常用的, 它们可以单独使用或几种混合在一起使用。其中最受欢迎的是奥特 卢干酪 (Otlu), 它最早是在土耳其 Van 省的小牧场和小村庄生产, 现在在土耳其的东部城市 也有生产, 并逐渐在全国范围内生产和销售。本文对奥特卢干酪的生产技术, 化学特性, 生 化特性和微生物学特性及制作干酪中常用的草药进行了论述。也讨论了草药对干酪的生化 特性和微生物学特征可能产生的影响。此外, 还简单介绍了奥特卢干酪的品种和用其他香 料 (如辣椒、黑胡椒、肉桂、多香果、薄荷、百里香、孜然等) 制作的干酪, 如 Carra、Surk 等。 土耳其干酪 / 奥特卢干酪 / 草草药药 / 香料 / 蛋白水解 / 微生物学 Résumé – Fromages de Turquie : 3.

  • Comparison of Quality Characteristics of Çökelek and Lor Cheeses
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 11(26), pp. 6871-6877, 29 March, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB DOI: 10.5897/AJB11.4230 ISSN 1684–5315 © 2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Comparison of quality characteristics of Çökelek and Lor cheeses Arzu Kavaz 1*, Ayla Arslaner 2 and Đhsan Bakirci 1 1Department of Food Engineering, Agricultural Faculty, Atatürk University, TR-25240, Erzurum, Turkey. 2Department of Food Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Bayburt University, Bayburt, Turkey. Accepted 5 March, 2012 The objective of this study was to compare some quality characteristics of Çökelek (cottage cheese- like) and Lor (whey cheese) cheeses during a storage period of 21 days. Çökelek and Lor cheeses significantly (P < 0.05 , P < 0.01) showed differences in terms of the examined parameters and storage period. Mean value of lipolysis in Çökelek cheese was higher (P < 0.01) than that of Lor cheese. Also storage time affected (P < 0.01) the values of lipolysis in two experiments. It was found that αs1 casein was hydrolyzed much faster than those of γ-casein and β-casein in the Çökelek and Lor cheeses, the γ-, β-, and αs1 casein levels in two cheeses remained relatively constant during storage. There were no significant differences in water-soluble N (WSN), trichloroacetic acid soluble N (TCA-SN) and phosphotungstic acid soluble N (PTA-SN) contents of the two experiments, but the storage time significantly (P < 0.01) affected these parameters. The counts of coliforms, lactic acid, proteolytic, psycrotrophic bacteria and yeasts-molds between Çökelek and Lor cheese samples were found to be significant (P < 0.01), but total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB) and Salmonella thermophilus counts were not significant statistically.
