BACKGROUND: Pastirma is a dry-cured and semi-fermented meat product, produced from whole beef or water buffalo muscles. Sixteen to twenty different types of pastirma can be produced from a carcass, and each pastirma type has a different name, shape and quality characteristics. The objective of this study was to determine the free amino acid (FAA) composition, pH and moisture values of 'sirt', 'bohca' and 'sekerpare' pastirma.
