    SEASONAL VARIATIONS OF BIOCHEMICAL TASTE PARAMETERS IN MILKS FROM CONVENTIONAL AND ENVIRONMENT - FRIENDLY ORGANIC FARMING

    Cimen, M.; Yildirim, N.; Dikici, A.; Kaplan, O.; Yildirim, N. Cikcikoglu

    CIMEN, M., N. YILDIRIM, A. DIKICI, O. KAPLAN and N. CIKCIKOGLU YILDIRIM, 2010. Seasonal variations of biochemical taste parameters in milks from conventional and environment-friendly organic farming. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 728-732 The aim of this study is to research the milk biochemical taste components in organic (ORG) and conventional (CON) systems for different season. In study, all data were investigated for all season of 2004. Milk fat levels in both groups for summer season were lower than any other season. Average milk fat values in ORG treatment were lower than the values of CON treatment in all season except winter period. Therefore, a decrease in fat percentage for organic milk can directly lead to taste loss. Similarly, total solid rates in conventional milks in spring period were more favorable than rates in organic milk for desired taste. However, the pH value in organic milk was more acceptable for required flavor in summer season.

    IN VITRO ANTIMICROBIAL EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL TEA EXTRACTS AGAINST SOME PATHOGEN FUNGI AND BACTERIA

    Yildirim, N.; Bekler, F. Matpan; Yildirim, N. Cikcikoglu; Dikici, A.

    The in vitro antimicrobial activity of crude ethanol, methanol, hexane and aqueous extracts of commercial tea types such as fennel (Foeniculum sp.), senna (Cassia sp.), basilrosemary (Ocimum sp.-Rosmarinus sp), daisy (Bellis sp.) and sage (Salvia sp) against pathogen fungi (Colletotrichum coccodes, Epicoccum nigrum, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis) and foodborne pathogen bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus cereus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter sp.) were investigated with disk diffusion method. Senna (Cassia sp.) exhibed the most effective antimicrobial activity in both ethanolic and methanolic extracts. The best antimicrobial effect (30.6 mm) against E. nigrium was seen in methanolic senna (Cassia sp.) extract. The results of the study indicate that commercial tea types have showed various levels of antimicrobial activity depend on the type of solvent used in the extraction procedure.
