In this paper, we evaluated some varieties of local white cheeses (Baladi and Akkawi). 100 samples were collected randomly from various production sites in Syria between 2003 and 2004. Chemical and microbiological analyses were applied to determine their suitability to the Syrian standards. This study shows that their quality do not fulfill the set minimum Syrian quality standards. The microbiological analyses (Coliform, Escherichia, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella), rate was 75% for Coliform organisms and 66% for Escherichia in Baladi, while it decreased to 43% for Coliform and 25% for Escherichia in Akkawi. As concerns the positive coagulation bacteria (S. aureus), the rate exceeded 15% for both types of cheeses. 18% and 12% of Salmonella were found in Baladi and Akkawi also respectively. Various types of Coliform and Salmonella were identified. This study indicated that local cheeses have no uniform or standardized chemical characteristics. The averages of acidity, moisture content and salt percentage were 0.24%, 60%, and 2.6%, for Baladi and 0.28%, 53.53%, and 9.96% for Akkawi, respectively. The fat content had a wide range for all cheese samples. This study classified these fresh cheeses as raw cheeses that have vast flora and no uniform chemical and quality characteristics. The above findings, lead to different defects and properties which do not fulfill the Syrian quality standards. Thus, the quality of Syrian cheeses varieties is still questionable.

This investigation was conducted at the laboratory of Food Science Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Damascus to determine the effectiveness and the impact of using microwave radiations to reduce or eliminate Salmonella typhi in co ntaminated milk and in white cheese manufactured by traditional method made of contaminated milk. Results showed that the duration of 60 sec. was enough to eliminate the S.typhi from milk heated up to 90₀ C and the best treatment was when exposing cutting cheese for a period of 240 sec, and the temperature reached 85 ?C and for a period of 300 sec with a temperature reached 100₀C. Presence of water helped raising the temperature of the cuttings to be equivalent to the hot water temperature, (100₀C) and to eliminate greatly bacteria S.typhi in cutting cheese. It was concluded that the use of microwave radiation was safety to destroy S.typhi in milk and white cheese.
The objective of this investigation was the Identification of Salmonella spp. isolated from white cheese (traditional processed from sheep milk) and classify it by using API 20E and PCR techniques. 80 samples of white cheese (traditional processed from sheep milk) were collected from different locations in Syria. According to PCR technique, 17 samples gave positive result for salmonella meaning that 21.25 % did not match the levels of the Syrian Standardization and Metrology (S.S.M.). According to API 20E technique, the dominat type of Salmonella was Salmonella Arizona (47%), followed by Salmonella typhim (23.61 %), Salmonella paratyphi (17.6 %) and Salmonella spp. (11.76 %). Results showed that samples from local cheese positive for Salmonella were much more than samples from Akkawi cheese. The results showed that the PCR technique is fast and accurate and can be used to Identify Salmonella in cheese.
A study of chemical composition of woman's milk has been made and compared with cow's milk in the province of Homs. The findings of this study show that The total value of the solid material in cow's milk is (12.26 ± 1.2%). It is approximately eq ual to woman 's milk content of the total solid material which is (12.11 ± 0.09%). The woman 's milk content of mineral elements is (02% ± 001%), while the cow's milk content is (0.71 ± 0.14%). For the value of fatty material in the mother's milk, it is (3.5 ± 0.02%) and this is almost equal to cow's milk content of the same material which is (3.4 ± 0.05%). The cow's milk content of protein is equivalent to (2.92 ± 0.019%), whereas cow's milk content is equivalent to ( 1.25 ± 0.009%). The value of calcium in the mother's milk is (32 ± 4.3 mg), and this is significantly lower than the value of the calcium in cow's milk, which is (118 ± 8.2 Mg/ kg).
This paper, we evaluated some varieties of local cheeses. samples were collected randomly from various production sites in Homs. Chemical and microbiological analyses were applied to determine their suitability to the Syrian standards. This study sh ows that 54% of Baladi cheese samples, 25% of Akkawi(Cows), 18% of Akkawi(Sheep), 12% of Kashkawan ,2 %of Chelal samples, that 2% of Halloumi cheese samples, and 8% of Msannara cheese samples contained Escherichia coli bacterium. This results also indicate that 15% of Baladi cheese samples, 12% of Akkawi(Cows), 8% of Kashkawan cheese,4 %of Chelal cheese, and 8% of Msannara samples contained Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. As well as the percentage of Baladi cheese samples containing Salmonella bacteria was 8%, and Akkawi(Cows) cheese samples was 4%, and 2% in Msannara cheese samples. This study indicated that local cheeses have no uniform or standardized chemical characteristics. This study shows that 67% of Baladi cheese samples, 33% of Akkawi(Cows), 83 %of Chelal , and 100% of Kashkawan samples were contrary to the Syrian Normal Standard for dry matter. And all samples of cheese identical to the Syrian Normal Standard for sodium chloride 100%.
The aim of this research is to study chemical and physico-chemical characteristics of Akawi, Medaffarah, Shankalish and Sorkeh cheeses for their identification and comparison with some internationally widespread cheeses. Several chemical analyses were performed on samples collected from different region famous with these products.
