Abstract

Quark cheese is a fermented soft fresh cheese categorised under acid-rennet coagulated cheeses. In this study, alternative raw materials such as kefir and yayik buttermilk were used to produce Quark cheese in comparison with the cheese produced by the acidification of skim milk with mesophilic lactic culture. Samples were kept individually under 35 degrees C and 100 degrees C for coagulum formation. Obtained cheeses, were evaluated in terms of some physicochemical, microbiological and sensorial properties in addition to the volatile and peptide profiles. Quark produced from kefir and buttermilk was determined to have preferred properties directly affect the cheese characteristics.
