Yeast and mould contamination levels in cubed turkey meat were reported by Çolak et al.[4], as 3.02-3.35 log10 cfu/g, and by Ergezer [15] on the other hand, as 2.49-3.27 log10 cfu/g.
In our study, mould&yeast contamination rate was found as 88.18% and the average number of mould&yeast was found as 2.2x104 cfu/g. In view of mould&yeast contamination, the results of our study are higher than those of earlier studies.
