Goat milk presents interesting characteristics to consumers, but the production of this food faces several challenges that influence its quality. Process failures from milking to processing and commercialization can expose milk to contamination by pathogenic microorganisms, including the coagulase-positive Staphylococcus group. Although Staphylococcus aureus is the most relevant species in mastitis and food poi...
The consumption of goat's milk has increased significantly in Brazil. In 2014, its production was 153 thousand tons, and the Paraná state is responsible for the production of 380 thousand liters. Although the government regulates goat milk, this raw material is not widely studied in Brazil. The objective of this work was to study its microbiological and physicochemical characteristics. A total of 32 samples fro...
Por apresentar prolongada vida útil e facilidade de estocagem, o leite Ultra Alta Temperatura (UAT) é o leite fluido mais consumido no Brasil. O processamento térmico ao qual o leite UHT é submetido provoca alterações na estrutura micelar da caseína favorecendo a precipitação proteica e a gelatinização; por isso, a legislação vigente autoriza a adição de estabilizantes (citrato e/ou fosfatos de sódio) na quanti...
The poor quality of raw milk is the main problem in dairy industries, once it can directly interfere in the productivity and quality of dairy products. The Pernambuco is not different. located between the Zona da Mata and the Sertão regions, is responsible for a daily milk production of 980,000 liters, and presented an increase of 23% in the last two years. This study aimed the evaluation of the microbiological...
The milk production in Brazil presents efficiency and quality problems concerning the raw material, reducing its competitiveness. The poor quality of raw milk is associated with faults in handling and milking hygiene conditions, high indices of mastitis, inadequate maintenance and disinfection of the equipment, inefficient or inexistent refrigeration, disqualified workforce, among others. The aim of this study ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological parameters of milk in different lactation phases during a year in two Dairy farms producing type A milk (Brazilian Standards) and classified as Farm 1 (G1) and Farm 2 (G2). The 320 raw milk samples were collected to analyze acidity Dornic, California Mastit Test (CMT), Somatic Cells Counting (SCC) and Cryoscopy (0H) during four ...
The Agreste region in the state of Pernambuco is characterized by a diversified economy, with different cultivars, besides the daily and beef farms. In 2004 the State produced 398 million liters of milk; it represented 14.7% of the Northeast Region production and 1.7% of the National production. The aim of this work was to characterize the milk properties of the Agreste region of Pernambuco, observing condition...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality and pasteurization enzymatic parameters in 80 samples of pasteurized milk produced in the north of Paraná state - Brazil from January, 2004 to December, 2005. The obtained results were compared with legislation established in the Regulation of Industry and Sanitary Federal Inspection of Food of Animal Origin. The microbiological analyses were mes...
The purpose of this work was to research the Salmonella spp. and indicators microorganisms (total coliforms-CT, thermotolerant coliforms-CTT, mesophlic aerobes-AM and psychotrophic microorganisms) in poultry carcasses and chilling tanks water in a poultry slaughterhouse in north of Paraná state. Had been analyzed 120 poultry carcasses (60 before the entrance in the chilling tank and 60 after the exit of the chi...
The stories of food poisoning from staphylococci, mainly by S. aureus, are frequently associates to the ingestion of food with 100 ng of enterotoxin/g or mL. The production of enterotoxin using staphylococci is strongly associated with the production of coagulase. In this paper, milk samples of 51 milk properties in Londrina (RS) and 50 in Pelotas had been evaluated. All the 101 samples had presented counts of ...
