ABSTRACT
In this study, 34 sikma cheese samples, collected from Kahramanmaras province of Turkey were investigated and revealed that they contained 53% dry-matter (DM), 43.87% fat in DM, 20.25% protein, 3.28% WSP, 6.12% salt in DM. The average titre table acidity and ripening degree were 1.71 and 17.05% respectively. The coliform, TAMB, LAB, Lipolytic and proteolytic microorganisms and yeast-mould counts were 5.99, 7.82, 7.01, 5.73, 4.56, 5.03 log cfu/g in success in cheese samples.
