Summary
: In this study, 46 samples of iee cream purehased from dil/erent markets in Ankara
were examined for bacteriological
quality. Staphyloeoccus
aureus and fecal eoliforms were isolated
from two
(4.3%)and seven
(/5.2%)of
46samples, respeetively. According
to the total counts of
aerobie bacteria, eoliforms and S.aureus obtained, it was determined that
32.6%of iee-eream samples
examined were not fit bacteriologieally
to the Turkish ice-cream standarts.
Key words : Ice-cream, bacteriological quality.
Inlroduction
Ice cream is a frozen dairy food made
by freezing
a pasteurized
mix. The mix is
composed
of combination
of milk products
(milk, condensed
milk, milk powder cream),
sugar, emulsifiers,
stabilizers
and f1avouring
and coloring agents (4,5,9,
i7)
Ice cream is a palatable, nutritive and
healthful
food.
Therefore,
ice
cream
production
has
increased
rapidly
in recent
years in many countries of world. In Turkey,
the production
of ice cream is made in two
different
ways.
These
are
the
traditional
methods
and the industrial
production.
The
traditional
production
method
refers
to the
manufactoring of open/artisanal (pastry shop' s)
ice cream. Kahramanmaraş
type ice cream, a
popular one in Turkey, can also be included in
this group. The manufactoring
of this kind of
ice cream in generaııy
made in small-scaled
production
units like pastry shop' s. They do
not
follow
a
standardized
procedure
for
manufacture
of ice cream. Conversely
to the
traditional method, the industrial
ice cream is

produced in a hygienic conditions at modern plants. These kind of modern factories produce ice cream in a great variety of shapes, flavors and flavol' combinations. AIso their marketing nets are huge. Therefore, industrial ice cream production has been inereasing rapidly in Turkey.
Microorganisms cannot grow in ice cream since the temperatures remain below - iO
Oc.
However, ice cream can become contamİnated by ingredients those are added post pasteurization and by improper sanitation of equipment and the environmenL Therefore, the presence of microorganisms in these products can give information about the raw ingrediem quality and the sanitary nature of processing and packaging (16). Hence, there are some surveys on the bacteriological quality of ıce crcam and related products (6,8.10, i 1,12,15). Their results also showcd that ice cream and related products can become contaminated byS.aureus
and coliforms.Besides, owing to the differents methods adopted in ice cream production, their bacterial quality may vary a great dea!' Therefore a study on the bacteriological quality of market ice cream would be of great importance.
Material and Methods
Materials
:
In this study, fourty-six samples of market ice cream coIlected from 18 different localitics of Ankara were used. These included 27 open/artisanal ice crcam and 19 packed/industrial ice cream samples. The samples were coIlected in an ice box and taken directly to the laboratory where they were examincd for bacteriological quality immcdiately.Methods
:
Total bacteria, coliforms and fecal coliforms counts were determined by the methods described in Anon 1992 (3). Detection ofS.aureus
was examined by the methods of Anon 1989 (I). In addition, Salmoneıla was determined according to Anon199
ı
(2).C. KOÇAK - M. AKAN - H. YARDıMCı
Results and Discussion
Data obtained from the ice cream samples are presented in Table
i.
As sbown in Table, the counts of total bacteria of ice cream samples ranged from 1.3xi
OL cfu/g (sampels i and 43) to 2. ix 106 cfu/g (samplei
I). These results indicated that samples i,2, i i and 24 had the highcr count of total bacteria thanix 105 cfu/g which is the legal limit (3). AIso,
7 samples (samples 1,3,11,12,19,20 and 25) had fecal coliforms exceeding the O cfu/g legal limit (3).
S.aureus
was isolated from two samples (samples 3 and 8) but none of samples had salmoneIla. According to the total count of aerobic bacteria, coliforms andS.aureus
obtained, it was determined that 32.6% of İce cream samples examined were not fit bacteriologicaIly to the Turkish ice cream standard. However all of the samples of factory made(packed/industrial) ice cream were fit bacteriologicaIly to the Turkish ice cream standarts (3).The results obtained from experimental ice cream C1early indicate that the pastry shops' (open/artisanal) ice cream samplcs are more contaminated by coliforms,
S.aureus
and other aerobic bacteria than the others'. The results are generaIly similar by other authcrs' (7,10, i2, i3, 14, 15).The study shows the substandard microbiological quality of open/artisanal ice cream, that is in a way justifies and confirms the natural shift of consumers to packed/industrial ice cream with consistently good quality. The study caIls for actian in two fold:
*
Production permissions for artisanal ice cream manufacture should be given only af ter a proper inspection against set standards. Periodical controls should be conducted to serve to the same purpose.*
Consumer should be made aware regarding the hygienic quality and consisteney of other quality parameters of industria\ ice cream.BACTERIOlOGICAl QUAUTY OF ICE CREAM MARKETED IN ANKARA
