摘要：In this study, quality properties of Halloumi cheese produced from cow’s milk and ewe's milk with dry salting and ripening in brine solution were investigated. Samples of dry salted were vacuum packaged and the samples of pickled were ripened in tin packs. There was no difference between the cheese samples manufactured from cow's and ewe's milk in salt ash percent contents and pH and aw values. But the samples of ewe's milk were higher in dry matter content, fat content and acidity values. In sensory evaluations ewe's milk cheese samples were more preferred. There was no significant difference between samples in pH and aw values according to packaging. But vacuum packed samples were higher in dry matter content, fat content and acidity values; and lower in salt and ash contents. In addition, vacuum packed samples were took higher scores in sensory evaluations. There was no significant difference between the groups in microbiological examination. The cheese yields were found 20.59 % for ewe's milk and 8.94 % for cow's milk.
