Abstract
Ezine region has an important dairy production capacity as well as its tourism capacity and location. Todays, people prefer to homemade products in bazaars because of consuming sensivity about natural nutrition, natural products and homemade products in the World and also in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to examine Esherichia coli, coagulase positive Staphylococcus sp., Salmonella sp. presence and total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, coliform and yeast-molds amounts of homemade butters which are sold in region’s bazaars. Microbial quality of homemade butter samples were determined within the legal limits in Turkey. However, yeast-molds loads of samples were determined at 106 cfu/g level. Isolated mold species were identified under microscope with their morphologies as Penicillum, Fusarium, Trichoderma ve Aspergillus sp. which species can produce mycotoxins and coagulase positive Staphylococcus sp. presence was evaluated as an important risk for public health. The importance of healty production conditions, high quality raw materials and optimum heat treatment applications were executed again.
