Özet

In this study, the effects of homogenization (0 and 20 MPa) and milk type (sheep and sheep/cow mixture) on the kinetic changes of selected minerals (Ca, Mg, K, Zn, and Fe) in winter yoghurt samples stored at 4°C for 90 days were investigated. Mineral composition changes were determined using an inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) at various storage times (0, 7, 15, 30, 60, and 90 days). A first-order kinetic model, exhibiting R2 values ranging from 0.9165 to 0.9994, was determined to be the best fit for the mineral contents of the winter yoghurt samples. Changes in mineral concentration were primarily dependent on storage time, whereas homogenization and milk type exhibited mineral-specific effects. These findings provide insights into the stability and kinetic behavior of minerals within winter yoghurt during storage.
