Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the changes in some physicochemical and microbiological properties of Kuru Kaymak (KK) (Dry Clotted Cream) during 30 days of storage at 4°C. Kuru Kaymak samples were produced in a local family business on a small scale using the traditional method. The dry matter, fat, protein, lactose and ash content, and the water activity value of KK samples on the 30th day were 97.4%, 64.2%, 23.5%, 4.40%, 1.69% and 0.59, respectively. Unlike other high-fat dairy products, Kuru Kaymak samples were found to contain a fairly high amount of protein (23.5%). The free fatty acid value showed an enormous increase of 266.7% from 0 to 30 days. Yeast and mould counts of KK samples were below the countable level (<2 log cfu/g) throughout storage. The presence of coliform bacteria in KK samples showed that there was contamination due to non-compliance with hygienic rules in production. Considering the properties examined, it was concluded that KK could be stored for more than 30 days at 4°C without any noteworthy deterioration.
