The influences of dried Morchella conica powder (MCP) on quality and sensory properties of sucuks were determined. Sucuks were prepared by adding 0% (control), 1.5% MCP, 3% MCP, 0.02% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and sodium nitrate/nitrite (0.01% NaNO 3 /0.005% NaNO 2 ) and lipid oxidation, colour, texture, and sensory features were analysed. Sucuks with the addition of MCP had much lower (P<0.05) peroxide values than with the addition of BHT and nitrate/ nitrite and the control samples. It was found that the L* and a* values of sucuks with the addition of 1.5% and 3.0% MCP decreased significantly (P<0.05) compared to sucuks with nitrate/nitrite and BHT addition and control samples during fermentation. Hardness and chewiness values decreased with the addition of MCP (P<0.05) during fermentation. The sucuks with MCP added at 1.5% and 3% showed the highest overall sensory acceptance. Thus, proper amount of dried MCP addition may be effective on enhancing sucuk quality properties.
