Abstract :The aim of this study is to investigate the correlations between color parameters, textural and physicochemical properties of yogurt samples sold in Erzurum province. The samples were taken from yogurts produced in local dairy farms in Erzurum province and sold in markets. The results of instrumental colour and texture analysis of yogurt samples were evaluated using descriptive and Pearson correlation analyses. The results of the statistical analysis showed that there were significant correlations between the properties compared. High significant positive correlations were found between dry matter and a*, b*, C* and ΔE and between pH and the color values of L*, a*, C* and ΔE in yogurt samples. Significant negative correlations were found between the water holding capacity (WHC) of the samples and the textural properties of adhesiveness, springiness, and cohesiveness. In this study, the textural and physicochemical properties of locally produced yogurts sold in Erzurum were also characterized comprehensively.
