Determination of some physico-chemical and microbiologicalproperties of raw milk sold directly to consumption inGümüşhane

In this research, it was determined of some physico-chemical and microbiological properties of raw milk sold directly to the consumer in march, april and may in Gümüşhane and its districts (Kelkit, Şiran, Torul, Kürtün ve Köse ). As a result of this search, the pH value of the samples were changed between 6.57- 7.02; 6.42-6.89; 6.46-6.78 and 55, 45 and 50 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts in march, april and may respectively; the acidity value of samples were changed between 0.097-0.203 %; 0.119-0.185 %; 0.137-0.185 % and 75, 85, 100 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts; the dry matter values of samples were changed between 10.13-13.38 %; 10.01-13.15 %; 11.26-13.91% and 75, 30, and 65 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts; the fat-free dry matter of the samples were changed between 7.03-9.8 %; 7.05-8.96 %; 7.96-11.23 % and were correlated 75, 35, 55 % of the samples; the fat value of the samples were changed between 2.75-3.85 %; 2.75-4.55 %; 2.95-4.25 % and correlated with the standarts 55, 50 , 50 % of the samples; the density of the samples were changed between 1.026-1.034; 1.026-1.033; 1.026-1.036 g/mL and 95, 90, 90 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts; the ash value of the samples were changed between 0.54-0.79 %; 0.54-0.88 %; 0.53-0.72 % and 65, 70, 70 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts; protein content of the samples were changed between 2.68- 4.25 %; 3-4.15 %; 3.34-4.60 % and 95, 100, 100 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts. The TAMB counts of the samples were changed between 1.86-6.50 log kob /mL; 3.54- 6.71 log kob /mL; 2-5.87 log kob /mL and 70, 45, 65 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts; The yeast-mold counts of the samples were changed between <1-3.45 log kob/mL; <1-2.19 log kob /mL, <1-2.91 log kob/m L and 25, 10, 45% of the samples were correlated with the standarts; The coliform bacteria counts of the samples were changed between <1-3.45 log kob/ mL; <1-3.38 log kob/ mL; <1-2.93 log kob/ mL and 45, 25, 15 % of the samples were correlated with the standarts. To the results of the study is made, it was determined that the physico-chemical and microbiological properties of raw the milks sold from producer directly to the consumers are close to the standards in Gümüşhane and its districts in the spring.
