A produção industrial de carnes requer o conhecimento de seu comportamento durante o aquecimento. Visando o controle do processo, são necessários dados relativos às características microbiológicas da carne crua, a composição centesimal da carne cozida, o tratamento térmico aplicado e suas conseqüências na flora microbiana do produto. Avaliar a efetividade de diferentes tratamentos térmicos, os índices de qualidade e o rendimento dos cortes de carne são os objetivos deste trabalho. Foram utilizadas amostras de músculos Semitendinosus de carne bovina cozidas em dois meios de aquecimento, água e vapor, em duas temperaturas (70°C e 80°C). A efetividade do tratamento térmico aplicado às amostras foi avaliada através da elaboração da curva de penetração de calor em cada uma das amostras, calculando-se os valores P de pasteurização e as reduções decimais alcançada. Foram avaliadas as influências da temperatura e do tipo de aquecimento, isoladamente, na capacidade de retenção de água (CRA), assim como, a interação entre as variáveis. Os fatores i) perdas por cocção e ii) maciez objetiva foram analisados conjuntamente relacionando-as com as temperaturas e os tipos de aquecimento experimentados. Observou-se através de avaliação sensorial em que medida os fatores como a presença de tecido conjuntivo, suculência e sabor influenciaram a maciez do corte de Semitendinosus. Os resultados mostram que a temperatura de 70ºC não foi suficiente para a pasteurização neste experimento, tendo como microrganismo alvo o Clostridium botulinum tipo E. A maciez objetiva não foi influenciada por nenhum dos tratamentos. Na análise sensorial a variável maciez foi significativamente influenciada pela presença de colágeno de forma negativa e pela suculência de forma positiva. / The industrial manufacturing of meat requires the knowledge of its behavior in the course of the cooking process. To control the process it’s absolutely necessary to have data relative to the microbiological characteristics of the raw meat, the centesimal composition of the cooked meat, the thermal treatment applied and its consequences in the flora of the product. To evaluate the effectiveness of different thermal treatments, the levels of quality and the performance of meat cuts are the purposes of this work. Samples of Semitendinosus muscles of cooked bovine meat were submitted to two ways of heating, water and steam, under two temperatures (70ºC and 80ºC). The effectiveness of the applied thermal treatment to the samples was evaluated through the elaboration of the curve of penetration of heat in each one of the samples, calculating its P values of pasteurization and the decimal reductions reached. The influences of the temperature and the way of cooking have been evaluated, separately, in the water holding capacity (WHC), as well as the interaction between the variables. The factors i) cooking losses ii) objective tenderness were analyzed jointly relating them with the temperatures and the distinct ways of cooking. Sensorial evaluation was used to measure the influences of factors like conjunctive presence, juiciness and flavor over the tenderness of the cut of Semitendinosus. The experiment showed that the temperature of 70ºC was not enough to pasteurize the E type Clostridium botulinum microorganism. The objective tenderness was not influenced by any of the procedures. The sensorial analysis showed that tenderness was significantly influenced negatively by the presence of connective tissue and positively by the juiciness.

Salmonella é o agente etiológico mais comumente envolvido em casos e surtos de doenças diarréicas de origem alimentar no Brasil e outros países. A preocupação com este patógeno é, ainda, maior quando se verifica o surgimento e disseminação de cepas multi-resistentes e potencialmente mais patogênicas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar 237 cepas Salmonella spp. distribuídas entre 50 sorovares diferentes, isoladas de alimentos associados e não associados à toxinfecções alimentares, quanto ao perfil de susceptibilidade antimicrobiana e presença dos genes de virulência spvC, invA, sefA e pefA. O gene invA foi detectado em todas as cepas de Salmonella. Com relação aos demais genes estudados, spvC e pefA foram encontrados em 48,1% e 44,3% das cepas, respectivamente. O gene sefA foi detectado em 31,6% das cepas, estando presente somente entre as cepas de S. Enteritidis. Ainda com relação à presença dos genes de virulência, as cepas de S. Enteritidis foram classificadas em três perfis, com predominância (90,7%) do perfil constituído pelos quatro genes de virulência. Quanto ao perfil de susceptibilidade antimicrobiana, 46,8% do total de cepas avaliadas foram sensíveis a todos os agentes antimicrobianos, 51,9% resistentes à pelo menos uma droga e 1,3% das cepas apresentaram apenas resistência intermediária. Multi-resistência foi observada em 10,5% das cepas. As maiores taxas de resistência foram observadas para estreptomicina (35,9%), ácido nalídixico (16,9%), tetraciclina (5,9%) e gentamicina (4,6%). Não foram detectadas cepas resistentes à cefoxitina, cefalotina, cefotaxima, amicacina, ciprofloxaxina e imipenem. Os resultados do presente estudo mostram a ampla distribuição dos genes de virulência e ocorrência de resistência antimicrobiana tanto nas cepas associadas a surtos como naquelas não envolvidas em toxinfecções alimentares, sendo os produtos de origem avícola fontes importantes de Salmonella com estas características. / Salmonella is the most common causative agent of cases and outbreaks of foodborne diarrhoeal diseases in Brazil and other countries. The concern with this pathogen is even greater considering the emergence and spread of multi-resistant and potentially more pathogenic strains. In this study, the antimicrobial susceptibility profile and the presence of virulence genes spvC, invA, sefA and pefA were examined in 237 Salmonella strains belonging to 50 serovars, isolated from foods associated and nonassociated to foodborne disease outbreaks. The gene invA was detected in all Salmonella strains. The genes spvC and pefA were found in 48.1% and 44.3% of strains, respectively. The sefA gene was found in 31.6% of strains and detected only in S. Enteritidis strains. According to the presence of virulence genes, S. Enteritidis strains were grouped in into three profiles, being the one consisting of four virulence genes the most common profile (90.7%). Among strains, 46.8% were sensitive to all antibiotics, 51.9% resistant to at least one drug and 1.3% of the strains presented intermediate resistance. Multi-resistance was seen in 10.5% of the strains. The highest rates of resistance were observed for streptomycin (35.9%), nalidixic acid (16.9%), tetracycline (5.9%) and gentamicin (4.6%). No resistance was observed to cefoxitin, cephalothin, cefotaxime, amikacin, ciprofloxaxina and imipenem. The results of this study show the wide distribution of virulence genes and occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in strains both associated and non-associated to foodborne disease outbreaks, being poultry products the major sources of Salmonella with these characteristics.

A new product, pork sticks, was developed. Optimum shelf life and safety were major concerns associated with this product. Potassium lactate (3%) or citric acid (0.5%, 0.56%, 0.60% or 0.66%) was added to pork sticks to determine their effects on microbial growth, sensory evaluation, and shelf life when stored frozen (-20°C), refrigerated (2°C), or at room temperature (22°C). Two raw materials, pork blade meat (shoulder meat; 91% lean, 9% fat) and regular 80:20 pork trim (80% lean, 20% fat) were used. The consumer panel preferred lean pork sticks made from blade meat over high-fat pork sticks made from regular 80:20 pork trim, regardless of the addition of potassium lactate (3%) or citric acid (0.5%). Pork sticks vacuum-packaged and held at 2°C or -20°C did not develop bacterial spoilage during six months storage. However, bacterial spoilage and oxidative rancidity occurred in the unpackaged control samples held at 22°C for one month. Incorporation of potassium lactate (3%) or citric acid (0.5%) decreased the color uniformity and red color intensity and increased the brown color intensity of the pork sticks made from blade meat. Vacuum-packaged pork sticks with added citric acid (0.56%, 0.60% and 0.66%) stored at 22°C did not develop bacterial spoilage, but discoloration occurred after one month storage.

Thesis (MSc Food Sc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The consumption of game meat and its by-products is increasing locally and internationally. The increase in consumption requires research that is focused on the microbiological quality of game meat. The harvesting and slaughter process of springbok carcasses revealed the presence of bacterial contamination. Swab samples taken after skinning portrayed a presence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Enterobacteriaceae. Springbok carcasses swabbed after chilling indicated aerobic bacteria, Clostridium spp. and lactic acid bacteria. In contrast, swab samples taken at the evisceration’s incision area tend to be lower in counts when compared to swab samples taken after skinning and after chilling. Bacterial contamination was linked to poor hygienic practices during the harvesting and slaughter process. Results showed a need for the investigation of the slaughter process. To evaluate the slaughter process’s impact on the microbial quality of game carcasses, black wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou) carcasses were sampled throughout the slaughter process. Before skinning, aerobic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, and E. coli were enumerated from hide samples, counts ranged from 0.92 to 7.84 log cfu/g. after skinning, bacterial counts ranged from 0.93 to 6.12 log cfu/g and further decreased after chilling. Clostridium spp. counts increased after skinning, however, statistical analysis detected no significant differences between counts. Salmonella spp. was not detected. The results indicate that bacterial contamination does occur during the slaughter process. Hygienic status during the production of game meat products was also determined. Bacterial counts from raw game meat ranged from 2.37 to 5.37 log cfu/g. Counts as high as 6.16 log cfu/g were enumerated from retail products. Aerobic plate counts (APC) from ≤ 2.62 log cfu/cm2 to ≤ 6.3log cfu/cm2 were enumerated from surfaces, hands and equipment during production. Results highlighted the inefficiency of cleaning procedures and revealed that contaminated meat can allow for bacterial contamination. To determine if muscle pH influences colour stability and microbial spoilage of game meat, normal (n=6) and dark, firm and dry (DFD) (n=6) black wildebeest Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscles were studied. pH affected colour, as initial (day 0) L*,a*,b*,C* and Hab values from Normal pH samples were significantly higher than values reported for DFD samples. Initial APC and Enterobacteriaceae counts from samples with Normal pH were not significantly different from counts reported for DFD samples. Initial contamination was linked to the harvesting and slaughter process. Further refrigeration (5±1ºC) for 12 days in an aerobic environment and analyses of samples every third day revealed that pH did not affect lightness and brownness as L* and b* values for DFD samples did not significantly differ overtime, the same trend was seen for samples with Normal pH. Normal pH samples showed a significant increase in a* and C* values until day 12, whilst Hab values decreased until the 12th day. The same trend was seen for a* and C* values for DFD samples until the 9th day as on the 12th day values increased. Similarly, Hab values for DFD samples decreased until the 9th day, then increased on the 12th day. Using the microbial spoilage limit of 6 log cfu/g, it was seen that DFD meat reached this limit earlier than samples with Normal pH. Overall, the study provides baseline information on the microbiological quality of game meat harvested in South Africa and slaughtered at a South African abattoir. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die plaaslike en internasionale verbruik van wildsvleis en wildsvleisprodukte is aan’t toeneem. Hierdie toename in verbuik vereis navorsing wat gefokus is op die mikrobiese kwaliteit van wildsvleis. Die oes-en slagproses van springbok karkasse het die teenwoordigheid van bakteriese kontaminasie aan die lig gebring. Monsters geneem met ʼn depper na afslag van karkasse het ʼn teenwoordigheid van Escherichia coli (E. coli) getoon. Springbok karkasse wat getoets is na verkoeling het hoë vlakke van die aërobiese bakterium Clostridium spp. en van melksuurbakterieë getoon. In teenstelling hiermee is getalle laer rondom die ontweidings insnyding. Bakteriese kontaminasie was gekoppel aan swak higiëne gedurende die oes- en slagproses. Hierdie resultate het ʼn ondersoek van die slagproses aangemoedig. Om die impak van die slagproses op die mikrobiese kwaliteit van wildskarkasse te evalueer, is monsters regdeur geneem van swartwildebees (Connochaetes gnou). Getalle van aërobiese bakterieë, Enterobacteriaceae, en E. coli was bepaal op vel monsters voor afslag; getalle het gewissel tussen 0.92 en 7.84 log cve/g. Getalle van bakterieë na afslag het gewissel tussen 0.93 en 6.12 log cfu/g, en het verder afgeneem na verkoeling. Clostridum spp. het toegeneem na afslag, maar statistiese analises het geen beduidende verskille getoon nie. Monsters het negatief getoets vir Salmonella spp. Die resultate toon aan dat bakteriese kontaminasie wel plaasvind gedurende die slagproses. Die higiëniese status gedurende die produksie van wildsvleis is ook vasgestel. Bakteriegetalle van rou wildsvleis het gewissel tussen 2.37 log cve/g en 5.37 log cve/g. Getalle van handelsprodukte het getalle getoon van soveel as 6.16 log cve/g. Aërobiese plaat telling tussen ≤2.62 cve/cm2 en ≤ 6.3log cve/cm2 is vasgestel vanaf oppervlakte, hande en toerusting gedurende produksie. Resultate beklemtoon die ondoeltreffendheid van skoonmaakprosedures en wys dat aangetaste vleis bakteriese kontaminasie kan toelaat. Om te bepaal of die kleurstabiliteit en mikrobiese bederf van wildsvleis geaffekteer word deur spiere se pH, is normale (n=6) en donker, ferm, en droë (DFD) (n=6) Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) spiere van die swartwildebees bestudeer. Kleur was geaffekteer deur vleis pH, siende dat die aanvanklike waardes (dag 0) vir L*, a*, b*, C* en Hab aansienlik hoër was vir monsters met normale pH as DFD monsters. Aanvanklike getalle van aërobiese plaat telling en Enterobacteriaceae telling van monsters met Normale pH het nie beduidend verskil van DFD monsters nie. Aanvanklike besmetting was gekoppel aan die oes- en slagproses. Verdere verkoeling (5±1ºC) vir 12 dae in ʼn aërobiese omgewing en analise van monsters wys dat pH nie ligtheid en bruinheid affekteer nie; waardes vir L* en b* vir DFD monsters het nie beduidend verskil oor tyd nie. Dieselfde geld vir monsters met Normale pH. Monsters met Normale pH het ʼn beduidende toename in a* en C* getoon tot en met dag 12, terwyl waardes vir Hab afgeneem het tot en met dag 12. Dieselfde patroon is waargeneem by waardes vir a* en C* vir DFD monsters tot en met dag 9, terwyl dit toegeneem het op die 12de dag. Soortgelyk het Hab waardes vir DFD monsters afgeneem tot n met dag 9, en toegeneem op die 12de dag. Dit is ook gevind dat DFD vleis die limiet vir mikrobiese bederf (6 log cve/g) vroeër bereik as monsters met Normale pH. Die studie voorsien basis inligting oor die mikrobiese kwaliteit van wildsvleis wat geoes is in Suid Afrika, en geslag is by Suid Afrikaanse slagpale.

A origem e a tipicidade dos vinhos são temas importantes e de grande interesse para produtores, consumidores e comerciantes. Ambos estão ligados à obtenção de um reconhecimento deste produto perante o mercado consumidor. O Brasil apresenta dimensões continentais e uma ampla diversidade de regiões produtoras de uvas e vinhos, em cada uma encontra-se características peculiares. Santa Catarina é o quarto estado brasileiro em área plantada com videiras no Brasil, apesar disso, é o segundo maior estado produtor de vinhos, apresentando grande potencial para vitivinicultura. Neste estudo coletou-se amostras de uvas de três regiões produtoras de vinhos objetivando diferenciá-las através da utilização de análises da razão isotópica de Oxigênio (18O) da água e do Carbono (13C) do etanol, bem como do conteúdo minerais dos vinhos. Foram estudados vinhos varietais, elaborados através de microvinificações, das variedades de uva Cabernet Sauvignon e Merlot, safra 2013, provenientes das regiões de Santa Catarina: Carbonífera, Vale do Rio do Peixe e Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim. As análises isotópicas foram realizadas por espectrometria de massa da razão isotópica (IRMS) e a determinação dos elementos minerais por espectrometria de massa com plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP-MS). Os valores da razão isotópica do oxigênio (18O) da água do vinho Cabernet Sauvignon foram eficientes para diferenciar os vinhos das três regiões, apresentando maiores valores médios para a região Vale do Rio do Peixe 3,31‰, seguidos por valores da região Carbonífera 1,48‰ e valores mais negativos -2,70‰ para a região Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim. O 18O em vinhos Merlot também diferenciou as duas regiões estudadas, de maneira similar aos resultados da variedade Cabernet Sauvignon, onde os valores maiores ocorreram na região Vale do Rio do Peixe 3,72‰ e o mais negativo na região Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim -2,76‰. Os resultados de 18O dependem principalmente de condições climáticas no período pré-colheita das uvas. Os resultados obtidos do 13C do etanol dos vinhos Cabernet Sauvignon não diferenciaram as três regiões de Santa Catarina, porém os valores encontrados do 13C do etanol dos vinhos Merlot foram mais negativos na região Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim -29,55‰ e menos negativos na região Vale do Rio do Peixe -28,67‰, sendo possível diferenciar estas duas regiões. Na região Vale do Rio do Peixe foi possível diferenciar vinhos Cabernet Sauvignon -29,80‰ de vinhos Merlot -28,67‰, esta mesma diferenciação ocorreu para a região Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim, onde vinhos Cabernet Sauvignon apresentaram valores de -30,47‰ e vinhos Merlot -29,55‰. Um amplo conjunto de elementos minerais como B, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba e Pb foram quantificados para diferenciação geográfica das regiões estudadas. Nenhum dos elementos minerais estudados individualmente neste trabalho possibilitou a diferenciação das três regiões estudadas para vinhos Cabernet Sauvignon. Contudo, analisando os resultados obtidos para Mg, Al, Ca, Mn, Se, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Cs e Ba, em conjunto, diferenciaram pelos menos uma das regiões estudadas para vinhos varietais de Cabernet Sauvignon, do mesmo modo para vinhos Merlot. A partir dos resultados do 18O, B, Mg, Al, V, Mn, Co, Cu, Se, Rb, Sr, Cd e Sb, obteve-se equações com classificação de 100% para as três regiões estudadas. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-04-26T14:04:26Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Leonardo Reffatti.pdf: 1201198 bytes, checksum: 541b71591becc056b52f84e624af9bf8 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-04-26T14:04:26Z (GMT).

Both are linked to the achievement of wine recognition by the consumer market. Brazil has continental dimensions and a wide winegrowing diversity regions, each one with unique characteristics. Santa Catarina occupies the fourth state place in Brazilian surface area with vineyards, on the other hand, it´s the second in wine production, showing a potential for this activity. In this study, samples of three regions in Santa Catarina were collected aiming differ them by geographic localization, using oxygen isotopic ratio analysis (18O) of water, carbon isotopic ratio (13C) of ethanol, and mineral 85Rb and 88Sr wine content. Varietal Carbernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines were elaborated by microvinifications, vintage 2013, from the regions: Carbonífera, Vale do Rio do Peixe and Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim. Isotopic analysis of oxygen and carbon were performed by mass spectrometry isotope ratio (IRMS), and mineral elements by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICPMS). Wine water average values of 18O in Cabernet Sauvignon wines were efficient to differ wines from the three regions, demonstrating higher average values for Vale do Rio do Peixe region (3,31‰), followed by Carbonífera region (1,48‰), and Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim region showed negative values (-2,70‰). Similarly to Cabernet Sauvignon, wine water average values of 18O in Merlot wines were effective in differentiating just two regions, the higher values were exhibited for Vale do Rio do Peixe (3,72‰), and lower values for Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim (-2,76‰). Oxygen isotopic ratio depends mainly of whether conditions during grape maturation and harvest. Wine ethanol average values for 13C in Cabernet Sauvignon wines were not able to differ the three regions of Santa Catarina, however average values found to Merlot wines were able, evincing more negative values in Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim (-29,55‰), and less negative to Vale do Rio do Peixe (-28,67‰). Further on the geographic differentiation, the 13C showed potential to differentiate varieties inside a region. In Vale do Rio do peixe region, wine ethanol average 13C for Cabernet Sauvignon wines (-29,80‰) showed difference to Merlot wines (-28,57‰), the same differentiation occurred to Planalto Serrano de São Joaquim region, where Cabernet Sauvignon wines demonstrated values of (-30,47‰) and Merlot wines (-29,55‰). A wide range of mineral elements such as B, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba and Pb were quantified to geographic differentiation between the studied regions. None of the mineral elements individually studied in this work allowed the differentiation of the three regions studied for Cabernet Sauvignon wines. However, the results for Mg, Al, Ca, Mn, Se, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb, Cs and Ba differentiated at least one of the studied regions in Cabernet Sauvignon wines, it was also possible to differentiate the two regions studied in Merlot wines. A group of 18O, B, Mg, Al, V, Mn, Co, Cu, Se, Rb, Sr, Cd e Sb results classified the three regions by 100%.

Its aims are to offer nutritional food as a supplement to students of public and philanthropic schools. Studying school nutrition transcends the investigation as a purely social program, given that it reaches the fields of public health, nutrition and food, using a wide variety of approaches. Thus, it is characterized by a multidisciplinary study, where the disciplines work side by side in distinct aspects of a single problem. Aim: This study aims to assess hygiene practices during the preparation of meat-based meals in public schools in the city of Natal, Brazil. Methods: A list was applied at 27 schools to identify the procedures of good food preparation practices. In addition, cooking and meal distribution temperature were measured and a microbiological analysis of the final preparation and of the water used in preparing it was performed. For microbiological analyses of the food, we analyzed coliforms at 45?C, coliforms at 35?C and Enterococcus, and for the water, we analyzed thermotolerant coliforms and total coliforms, using the methods recommended by APHA, 1995. Results: Most of the schools did not meet the required standards in all the variables related to good food preparation practices, except for the time spent preparing the meat, in which 89% were within the norm. Cooking temperature of the meals was within the standard; however, the temperature at distribution and the time spent dispensing the meals were inadequate. Of the 27 schools, 22 (81.5%) showed the presence of coliforms at 35? C in at least one meal sample and 18 (66.7%) had values above the recommended limit for coliforms at 45?C. The presence of E. coli was identified in 6.1% of the samples analyzed. The presence of Enterococcus was not found at any of the schools. With respect to the water, the North district of the city was the only one that did not meet the standards for the two indicators evaluated. The contamination found was not associated with the hygiene or food storage problems observed. Conclusions: The results show that the hygiene-sanitary conditions of meat-based public school meals were unsatisfactory, demonstrating the need for improvements in the production process to preserve the health of the student population. Multidisciplinarity: Researchers from the areas of food microbiology, nutrition, public health and statistics took part in this study, a decisive factor for characterizing the research as multidisciplinary / O Programa Nacional de Alimenta??o Escolar ? o programa voltado ? seguran?a alimentar e nutricional mais antigo do pa?s e tem por objetivo oferecer alimentos, de qualidade, em car?ter suplementar aos estudantes de escolas p?blicas e filantr?picas. Estudar a alimenta??o escolar transcende a investiga??o enquanto programa social, atingindo os campos da sa?de p?blica, nutri??o e alimentos, nas suas mais variadas abordagens. Assim, caracteriza-se por um estudo de car?ter multidisciplinar, onde as disciplinas trabalham lado a lado em distintos aspectos de um ?nico problema. Objetivo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar as pr?ticas de higiene durante a produ??o de prepara??es ? base de carne em escolas p?blicas municipais na cidade de Natal/RN. M?todos: Foram avaliadas 27 escolas, onde foi aplicada uma lista de verifica??o a fim de identificar os procedimentos de Boas Pr?ticas de Fabrica??o, e ainda, foi medida a temperatura de coc??o e distribui??o das prepara??es e realizada an?lise microbiol?gica da prepara??o pronta e da ?gua utilizada no preparo das mesmas. Para as an?lises microbiol?gicas do alimento, foram analisados coliformes ? 45?C, coliformes ? 35?C e Enterococcus, e para a ?gua, foram analisados coliformes termotolerantes e coliformes totais, atrav?s dos m?todos preconizados pela APHA, 1995. Resultados: A maioria das escolas estudadas apresentou n?o conformidades em todas as vari?veis analisadas quanto ?s Boas Pr?ticas de Fabrica??o, com exce??o do tempo de pr?-preparo das carnes, no qual 89% estavam dentro do padr?o. A temperatura de coc??o das prepara??es encontrou-se dentro do padr?o, entretanto a temperatura e o tempo de distribui??o apresentaram-se inadequados. Das 27 escolas, 22 (81,5%) apresentaram pelo menos uma amostra da prepara??o pronta com presen?a de coliformes ? 35?C, e 18 (66,7%) apresentaram valores acima do padr?o para coliformes ? 45?C. Foi identificada a presen?a de E. coli em 6,1% das amostras analisadas. N?o foi encontrada a presen?a de Enterococcus em nenhuma escola. Com rela??o ? ?gua, a regi?o Norte foi a ?nica com evid?ncias estat?sticas de estar fora do padr?o para os dois indicadores avaliados. A contamina??o encontrada n?o apresentou associa??o com as n?o conformidades referentes ? higiene peri?dica e a conserva??o dos reservat?rios. Conclus?es: Os resultados encontrados mostram que as condi??es higi?nico-sanit?rias das prepara??es ? base de carne servidas na alimenta??o escolar apresentaram-se insatisfat?rias, evidenciando a necessidade de melhoria do processo de produ??o, visando ?s condi??es de sa?de da popula??o estudantil assistida.

Duas formulações de queijo de leite cru e fermento endógeno foram produzidas e avaliadas após 30, 60 e 180 dias de armazenamento em câmaras de maturação de dois laticínios do Sudoeste do Paraná foram estudadas para avaliar as características, como uma das etapas de desenvolvimento de um queijo típico regional. A produção foi acompanhada desde a elaboração do fluxograma de processamento, coleta das amostras de queijo para realização de análises de proteína, lipídeos, umidade, cinzas, carboidratos, extrato seco total, gordura no extrato seco, calorias; atividade de água, textura instrumental (dureza, adesividade, elasticidade, coesividade, mastigabilidade e resiliência), cor (CIE Lab), análises microbiológicas (contagem de coliformes totais, contagem de coliformes termotolerantes e contagem de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e pesquisa de Salmonella spp.); teste de aceitação relacionada às características sensoriais (cor, aparência, odor, textura, sabor) e intenção de compra. Essa pesquisa contribuiu com informações relevantes ao processo produtivo, tais como, a constatação da viabilidade do fermento lático liofilizado elaborado a partir das bactérias ácido láticas isoladas do leite da mesorregião do Sudoeste do Paraná e cujos resultados das análises dos queijos indicaram similaridade entre as formulações, no que se refere a caracterização física e físico-química, além de boa qualidade microbiológica, onde as discrepâncias entre as amostras dos laticínios não foram percebidas sensorialmente pelos provadores. Ajustes na padronização relacionados ao controle de qualidade tecnológica serão um fator de extrema importância para o sucesso das empresas e pequenos produtores envolvidos no projeto e que se dispõem a produzir o Santo Giorno, um queijo fino, com o grande diferencial de agregar características da região, com elevado padrão de qualidade higiênico-sanitária e com indicativos de grande aceitação pelo consumidor. / Two cheese formulations made from raw milk and endogenous yeasts with 30, 60 and 180 days of maturation in two dairy Paraná Southwest were studied to evaluate their quality through physical, physical-chemical, microbiological and sensorial characteristics, as one of the stages of development of a typical regional cheese. The production was accompanied from designing the flowchart processing, where the samples were collected to perform the analysis of proteins, lipids, moisture, ash, carbohydrates, total solids, fat in dry matter, calories; water activity, instrumental texture (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, resiliency and chewiness), instrumental color (CIE Lab); microbiological quality was assessed searching for total and thermotolerant coliforms, coagulase positive staphylococci and Salmonella spp.; the acceptance related to sensory characteristics of color, appearance, flavor, texture, taste and purchase intent was evaluated through the structured hedonic scale.

Duas formulações de queijo de leite cru e fermento endógeno foram produzidas e avaliadas após 30, 60 e 180 dias de armazenamento em câmaras de maturação de dois laticínios do Sudoeste do Paraná foram estudadas para avaliar as características, como uma das etapas de desenvolvimento de um queijo típico regional. A produção foi acompanhada desde a elaboração do fluxograma de processamento, coleta das amostras de queijo para realização de análises de proteína, lipídeos, umidade, cinzas, carboidratos, extrato seco total, gordura no extrato seco, calorias; atividade de água, textura instrumental (dureza, adesividade, elasticidade, coesividade, mastigabilidade e resiliência), cor (CIE Lab), análises microbiológicas (contagem de coliformes totais, contagem de coliformes termotolerantes e contagem de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e pesquisa de Salmonella spp.); teste de aceitação relacionada às características sensoriais (cor, aparência, odor, textura, sabor) e intenção de compra. Essa pesquisa contribuiu com informações relevantes ao processo produtivo, tais como, a constatação da viabilidade do fermento lático liofilizado elaborado a partir das bactérias ácido láticas isoladas do leite da mesorregião do Sudoeste do Paraná e cujos resultados das análises dos queijos indicaram similaridade entre as formulações, no que se refere a caracterização física e físico-química, além de boa qualidade microbiológica, onde as discrepâncias entre as amostras dos laticínios não foram percebidas sensorialmente pelos provadores. Ajustes na padronização relacionados ao controle de qualidade tecnológica serão um fator de extrema importância para o sucesso das empresas e pequenos produtores envolvidos no projeto e que se dispõem a produzir o Santo Giorno, um queijo fino, com o grande diferencial de agregar características da região, com elevado padrão de qualidade higiênico-sanitária e com indicativos de grande aceitação pelo consumidor. / Two cheese formulations made from raw milk and endogenous yeasts with 30, 60 and 180 days of maturation in two dairy Paraná Southwest were studied to evaluate their quality through physical, physical-chemical, microbiological and sensorial characteristics, as one of the stages of development of a typical regional cheese. The production was accompanied from designing the flowchart processing, where the samples were collected to perform the analysis of proteins, lipids, moisture, ash, carbohydrates, total solids, fat in dry matter, calories; water activity, instrumental texture (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, resiliency and chewiness), instrumental color (CIE Lab); microbiological quality was assessed searching for total and thermotolerant coliforms, coagulase positive staphylococci and Salmonella spp.; the acceptance related to sensory characteristics of color, appearance, flavor, texture, taste and purchase intent was evaluated through the structured hedonic scale. This research contributed information relevant to the production process, such as the realization of the viability in freeze-drying lactic acid bacteria yeast isolated from milk in the Southwestern Mesoregion of Parana and the results of the analysis of the cheese showed similarity between formulations, regarding the physical, physical-chemical characterization, moreover good microbiological quality, where the differences between samples of dairy products were not perceived by sensory panelists.

The objective was to evaluate the sanitary management of a small aviary in Jataí-GO and its relation with the presence of Salmonella spp. The establishment was characterized as family run poultry businesses with small scale production and female management. In two plots were collected for microbiological analysis environmental samples at the entrance (D0); at 28° (D28) and at 60° (D60) days; carcasses, evisceration gutter and defeathering machine. The pH and chlorine of the water were also analyzed; ambient temperatures and carcasses were measured and a good production practices monitoring form was carried out. Data analysis was descriptive considering current legislation. There was absence of Salmonella spp. in all samples (bottoms of the chicks' transport boxes; residues of egg shells from the boxes; starter grower and fattening feed; and disposable overshoes of chicks reception sheds, feeders and drinking fountains, screens, area outside the shed and compost house) and adequate values of pH, chlorine and temperature. These results showed that implementation and rigor in the monitoring of the standards present in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Standard Operating Procedures in the process of creation and processing of chicken meat, besides controlling the propagation of this pathogen in the plants and in the carcasses, ensured a final quality product to the consumer. / As Doenças Veiculadas por Alimentos (DVA) são uma problemática de saúde pública, sendo a Salmonella spp. um dos principais patógenos na avicultura. Objetivou-se avaliar o manejo sanitário de um aviário de pequeno porte em Jataí-GO e sua relação com a presença de Salmonella spp. O estabelecimento era caracterizado como agricultura familiar com produção em pequena escala e gestão feminina. Em dois lotes foram coletas amostras para análises microbiológicas do ambiente na entrada (D0), no 28º (D28) e no 60º (D60) dia; das carcaças, da bancada de evisceração e da depenadeira. Também foram aferidos o pH e o cloro da água; aferido as temperaturas do ambiente e das carcaças e realizado formulário de acompanhamento das boas práticas de produção. A análise dos dados foi descritiva considerando a legislação vigente. Verificou-se ausência de Salmonella spp. em todas as amostras (fundos das caixas de transporte dos pintinhos; resíduos das cascas de ovos das caixas; rações das fases inicial e engorda; própés da cama do galpão de recepção dos pintinhos, comedouros e bebedouros, paredes e telas, área externa ao galpão e composteira; e carcaças) e valores adequados de pH, cloro e temperatura. Desta forma, a implementação e o rigor no monitoramento dos padrões presentes nos programas de Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF) e Procedimentos Padrão de Higiene Operacional (PPHO) no processo de criação e processamento da carne de frango, além de controlar a propagação desse patógeno nos plantéis e nas carcaças, asseguraram um produto final de qualidade ao consumidor

O experimento foi dividido em duas partes, sendo que inicialmente estudou-se os queijos Minas Frescal embalados sob ar atmosférico, atmosfera modificada de 70% CO2 e 30%N2 (ATM) e Vácuo e na segunda parte os queijos embalados sob os três tratamentos foram irradiados com doses de 2 KGy, sendo analisadas, nas duas partes do experimento, a evolução microbiana e as características sensoriais e físico-químicas do queijo sob os diferentes tratamentos durante o armazenamento a 4ºC. Na primeira fase do experimento verificou-se que a ATM e o Vácuo diminuíam a intensidade de crescimento da população de microrganismos mesófilos e psicrotróficos totais e reduziram a população de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva, mas não foram eficientes para o controle das populações coliformes totais e Escherichia coli, enquanto que no controle todas as populações cresceram continuamente, segundo os aspectos sensoriais de cor, odor e aparência dos queijos, mantiveram essas características durante os 40 dias de armazenamento e o controle diminuiu os índices de aceitabilidade progressivamente sendo rejeitado no 17º dia. Na segunda parte do experimento observou-se que irradiação no queijo Minas frescal com 2 KGy reduziu as populações de bactérias mesófilas aeróbias, psicrotróficas aeróbias e anaeróbias, Staphylococcus coagulase positiva, coliformes totais e Escherichia coli e os tratamentos ATM e Vácuo foram muitos eficientes pois eles evitaram o crescimento destes microrganismos durante o armazenamento, enquanto que no controle a população de mesófilos e psicrotróficos aeróbios cresceu durante o armazenamento. Segundo as características sensoriais, o tratamento ATM foi o mais eficiente pois este manteve a aparência, textura e sabor por mais de 43 dias, o vácuo por 36 dias e o controle por apenas 8 dias. A utilização da irradiação com atmosfera modificada juntamente com baixas temperaturas de armazenamento aumentaram a vida útil do queijo, impedindo o desenvolvimento microbiano no produto e mantendo suas características sensoriais. / The experiment was divided into two parts. Initially, it was studied the “Minas Frescal” cheeses packed under atmospheric air, modified atmosphere of 70% CO2 and 30% N2 (ATM) and vacuum. Second the cheeses packed under these three treatments had been radiated by doses of 2 KGy. In the two parts of the experiment, it was analyzed the microbial evolution and, the sensory and physical-chemical characteristics of the cheeses under the different treatments during a 4ºC-storage. In the first phase of the experiment it was verified that the ATM and the vacuum decreased the intensity of the total population growth of aerobic mesophilic and psichorotrophs and had reduced the population of Staphylococcus positive coagulase, but they had not been efficient controlling the total coliforms and Escherichia coli, while in control all the populations had continuously grown, according to the sensory characteristics of the cheeses, color, odor and appearance. These characteristics were kept the same during the 40 days of storage, and the control decreased the acceptability levels gradually, being rejected in the 17th day. In the second part of the experiment, it was observed that a 2KGy-irradiation over the “Minas Frescal” cheeses reduced the populations of aerobic mesophilic, aerobic and anaerobic psichorotrophs, Staphylococcus positive coagulase, total coliforms and Escherichia coli. The ATM and vacuum treatments were very efficient therefore they prevented the growth of these microrganisms during the storage, while in control, the aerobic mesophilic and psichrotrophs population grew during the storage. According to sensory aspects, the ATM treatment was the most efficient one, because it kept the appearance, texture and flavor for more than 43 days while the vacuum kept for 36 days and the control for only 8 days. The use of the irradiation with modified atmosphere and low temperatures of storage increased the shelflife of the cheeses, hindering the growth of the microbial populations in the product and keeping product sensory characteristics.
