Evaluations indicated that yield decreased with increasing the temperature (T) at which the mesophil starter culture was grown to increase the acidity for reaching to the desired value (Table 2). Statistical analysis of the data using ANOVA and mean analysis showed that yield was changed significantly by increasing the temperature. Additionally, yield was higher for lower temperatures (34, 36 °C) but, increasing the growth temperature to 38 °C resulted in lower yields. This observation indicated that the application of higher temperatures for mesophil starter cultures could not be desirable because of the decreased yield values. Results obtained for yield was in accordance with the results observed for the amounts of fat remained in the cheese or percentage of recovered fat (FR) (Table 2).
