Özet

???????? (Halloumi)/Hellim is the traditional cheese of Cyprus and belongs to the whole Island with Turkish and Greek names. Especially with the spotlights more on the product nowadays. In the current study, cheese samples were collected as fresh and mature halloumi/hellim (sheep/goat, bovine, or both milk) and were analyzed to evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological status. As a physicochemical analysis, the potential of hydrogen (pH), titratable acidity (TA), salt-sodium chloride (NaCl), and dry-matter (DM) ratios were analyzed. For examining the quality and safety indicators; total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMAB), yeast and molds, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), coliform bacteria, coagulase-positive staphylococci, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp. analyzes were performed. This study will help to establish the quality profile of halloumi/hellim cheese and identify potential hazards and sources of contamination.
