    Doner kebab is a traditional Turkish meat product produced from lamb, beef or poultry meat seasoned with a blend of spices such as salt, black pepper, cumin, thyme and/or sauces. The aim of this study was to determine 16 EU priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in doner kebabs cooked under four different heating sources (electricity, open gas, wood and charcoal grilling). For this purpose, 200 meat doner and 200 chicken doner kebab samples were obtained randomly from various buffets and restaurants located in Istanbul and analyzed by means of GC-MS. According to the results, benzo[a]pyrene and PAH4 levels, which are important PAH compounds as biomarkers, were significantly higher in chicken doner than in meat doner (p < 0.05). The highest occurrence of benzo[a]pyrene and PAH4 in meat and chicken doner samples was in the charcoal heating source, whereas the lowest occurrence was detected in electric grilling. In terms of all PAH compounds, cooking with an electric heating source caused the formation of fewer PAH compounds in doner kebab samples. Consequently, the fat content of fatty meat products such as doner kebab should be reduced, the contact of fat with the heating source (especially flame) and dripping of fat to the source should be prevented and overcooking of meat should be avoided.

    DETERMINATION OF MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY AND HEAVY METAL RESIDUAL LEVELS IN BOTTLED SPRING AND NATURAL MINE L WATERS
    (Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2021) Akhan, Meryem; Akkaya, Esra; Ergun, Ozer; Hampikyan, Hamparsun; Colak, Hilal; Bingol, Enver Baris
    Water is a vital food material for humans and other living things to survive. Recent developments in various industrial sectors, urbanization and the spread of agriculture based on modern techniques have resulted in increased contamination of water with heavy metals and microbial agents. This study was conducted to investigate the concentrations of selected heavy metals in spring and natural mineral waters and to determine the microbiological qualities of them. For this purpose, 200 spring and 200 natural mineral waters were collected and analyzed microbilogically and chemically for the residual quantities of Pb, As, Hg, Cd, Cu using 1CP-MS technique. Pb, As and Cu concentrations were higher to the limit values of the regulations in 13 (6.5%) of spring and in 72 (36%) of natural mineral waters. Moreover, TVBC was found to be above the limit values in 33 (8.25%) of the analyzed samples, while any conforms, fecal coliforms or E.coli were detected. As a result, it's important to carry out routine microbiological screening of waters on the basis of welding, filling units and filling containers, continuously monitoring of heavy metals in water samples and to take preventive measures to prohibit environmental pollution by heavy metals' contamination in order to protect the public health.
