Abstract
In this study, some quality attributes of smoked Cyprinus carpio sausages supplemented with %1 Propolis Extract, stored under cold condition (2°C) for 9 weeks were investigated. Quality of sausages were determined using physicochemical (Thiobarbituric acid (TBA), microbiological (Coagulase-positive Staphylococci, Sulphite-reducing Clostridium, E. coli and Salmonella) and sensory analyzes. During the storage period, propolis added group was measured lower TBA than control (Without propolis) group. E. coli and Salmonella were not detected in the all sausage samples. In addition, significant differences were found each two groups as sensorial quality (p<0.05). Consequently, %1 propolis treatment increased the shelf life of sausages by 3 weeks as compared to the control samples. Therefore, propolis extract as natural preservative can be used on other studies to enhance seafood product quality.
