Özet
This study was undertaken to investigation of microbial flora of pastirma, marketing in Ankara. For this purpose, a total of 80 pastirma samples, obtained from different markets, were analysed for microbiological aspect. Also, pH and water activity (aw) values were determined as a parallel to the microbiological analysis. In the frame of the analysis founds, the microbiological values were determined as fallows: The levels of total viable mesophilic count and lactobacilli 104-108 cfu/g, micrococci/staphylococci 104-107 cfu/g, enterobacteriaceae <2.0×102-104 cfu/g, coliform bacteria <2.0×102-103 cfu/g, enterococci <2.0×102-104 cfu/g, pseudomonas and yeasts <2.0×102 cfu/g, moulds <2.0×102-10s cfu/g, coagulase (+) staphylococci and sulphide reducing anaerobes at the level of <2.0×102 and <1.0×101t cfu/g respectively, whereas, salmonella were not found in 25 g of the samples. The mean values of pH and aw were determined as 5.50 and 0.89, respectively. Based on the results, it was determined that, lactobacilli and micrococci/staphylococci were constituted the dominant flora of pastirma samples.
