In addition, samples were analysed in terms of certain microbiological characteristics. A total of 96 yeast isolates were obtained from the samples. Distribution of the isolates according to species was 50.00% Candida kefyr followed by 23.95% Saccharomyces cerevisae, 10.40% Candida sphaerica, 7.29% Candida sake, 4.16% Candida lypolitica, 2.08% Candida inconspicua, 1.04% Candida krusei and 1.04% Candida famata. Coliform bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae counts of the samples were <1.00-3.13 and <1.00-3.22 log cfu g-1, respectively. As mean, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and yeast and mold counts were 7.09±0.92, 5.52±1.08, 7.86±0.94 and 6.32±0.87 log cfu g-1, respectively.
