Resumo: | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microbiological conditions of food served in self-service restaurants in Itumbiara-GO. In total, we studied 23 restaurants and the foods collected were: pasta, tomato and cucumber salad, mayonnaise and meat from the pan. The samples were acquired with the support of the municipality's sanitary inspectors. Our research was focused on total mesophiles, coagulase positive taphylococci and heat tolerant coliforms. The sample preparations and their dilutions were performed according to the technique recommended by the Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods. Non-contamination of food was confi rmed in only one restaurant. In 16 restaurants (69.6%), there were at least three types of food contaminated with scores above the standard allowed by law. All the pathogens studies were detected in at least one type of food. The most commonpathogen was coagulase positive Staphylococcus (86.5%). These results are alarming. The presence of potentially pathogenic microorganisms in the food demonstrates the poor sanitary conditions under which it was prepared. |

No total, foram estudados 23 restaurantes e os alimentos coletados foram macarronada, salada de tomate e pepino, maionese e carne de panela. As amostras foram adquiridas com o apoio de fiscais da Vigilância Sanitária Municipal de Itumbiara-GO. Foram pesquisados mesófilos totais, estafilococos coagulase positivo e coliformes termotolerantes. Tanto o preparo das amostras como de suas diluições foram realizadas segundo as técnicas recomendadas pelo Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods. Em apenas um restaurante não foi detectado contaminação de alimentos. Em 16 (69,6%) deles houve pelo menos três tipos de alimentos contaminados com contagens acima do padrão microbiológico permitido por lei. Todos os patógenos pesquisados foram detectados em pelo menos um tipo de alimento. O patógeno mais freqüente foi o estafilococos coagulase positivo (86,5%). Os resultados são alarmantes, havendo a presença nos alimentos de microrganismos potencialmente patogênicos, o que demonstra a baixa qualidade higiênico-sanitária durante o preparo dos alimentos pesquisados.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2010-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2010v23n4p12910.5007/2175-7925.2010v23n4p129Biotemas; v. 23 n. 4 (2010); 129-1332175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2010v23n4p129/15918Copyright (c) 2010 Elias Jose Oliveira von Dolinger, Poliana de Castro Melo, Gilsimeire Rodrigues Morais, Carlos Roberto Menezes da Silva, Denise Von Dolinger de Britoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessvon Dolinger, Elias Jose OliveiraMelo, Poliana de CastroMorais, Gilsimeire RodriguesSilva, Carlos Roberto Menezes daBrito, Denise Von Dolinger de2019-05-16T14:37:02Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/17348Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2019-05-16T14:37:02Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
