Tarhana has a high nutritional value and is considered as high protein food (15% on average; Koca, Koca, Anil, Hasbay, & Yilmaz, 2015). As a result of fermentation, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid in tarhana increase significantly. The ingredients used in the production of tarhana can affect their nutritional content as well as their sensory properties (Bilgiçli, 2009). Until today, many researches have been conducted to investigate the effect of the ad
