Food-borne illness is a major international problem and an important cause of reduced economic growth. The contamination of the food supply with the pathogens and its persistence, growth, multiplication and/or toxin production has emerged as an important public health concern. Most of these problems could be controlled with the efforts on the part of the food handlers, whether in a processing plant, a restaurant, and others. In contrast with most chemical hazardous compounds, the concentration of food pathogens changes during the processing, storage, and meal preparation, making it difficult to estimate the number of the microorganisms or the concentration of their toxins at the time of ingestion by the consumer. This review shows main microorganisms... |

The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity profile of mould strains isolated from foods to some essential oils and phytochemicals. The assayed mould strains were: Fusarium spp., Rhizopus spp., Aspergillus flavus, A. niger and Penicillium spp. According to results, Lippia alba N.E. Brown, Peumus boldus Molina, Lippia microphylla Phil., Citrus limon Risso and Cymbopogon citratus Stapf. essential oil and the phytochemicals citral, eugenol and mircene showed prominent antimould activity. Among the products that evidenced antimould activity, citral and eugenol showed the lowest minimum inhibitory concentrations, which was 1% and 4%, respectively, for the most of the tested mould strains. |

O caldo de cana apresenta grande aceitação popular e, se devidamente explorado, é um produto com elevado potencial mercadológico. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos realizar a caracterização físico-química, microbiológica e sensorial do caldo de cana puro e adicionado de suco de limão e de suco de abacaxi submetido ao tratamento térmico (70 °C/25 minutos) e/ou à radiação gama (2,5 kGy), acondicionado em garrafas de polietileno de alta densidade. Os resultados foram avaliados através da análise de variância e comparação das médias pelo teste de Tukey. Os processamentos aplicados reduziram as quantificações microbianas e não alteraram significativamente o aroma e sabor das bebidas em relação ao controle. A luminosidade foi maior no produto submetido ao... |
