Tarhana is a traditional fermented food that
Anatolians have been preparing and consuming for ages. Uşak tarhana is
preferred by consumers due to its aromatic properties. Due to its nutritive
value and easy digestibility, tarhana has also been an important food in infant
nutrition. In this study, the effect of enriched Uşak tarhana formulation for
infant nutrition on microbiological and chemical properties was determined. In
this study, lentil, carrot and chickpea were added to the Uşak tarhana
formulation, which was enriched for infant feeding, and the properties of infant
tarhana samples were compared with the control tarhana produced by the
traditional formulation. Although the fermentation rate was slowed down in the
tarhana doughs enriched for infant feeding, differences in the microbial load
and chemical changes from the control group were insignificant. However, rich
diverse lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were determined in infant tarhana dough
samples at the later stages of fermentation. Lactobacillus alimentarius was detected in infant tarhana dough
samples in contrast to the control tarhana dough during fermentation. In
conclusion, the enrichment of Uşak tarhana is suitable for infant nutrition.
