Resumo: The microbiological quality of beef and meat products is strongly influenced by the conditions of hygiene prevailing during their production and handling. Without proper hygienic control, the environment in slaughterhouses and butcher shops can act as an important source of microbiological contamination. To identify the main points of microbiological contamination in the beef processing chain, 443 samples of equipment, installations and products were collected from 11 establishments (1 slaughterhouse and 10 butcher shops) located in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The microbiological quality of all the samples was evaluated using Petri dishes to obtain counts of mesophilic aerobes (AC), total coliforms, Escherichia coli (EC), yeasts and molds (YM). The main contamination points identified in butcher shops, in decreasing order, were stainless steel boxes, beef tenderizers, grinders, knives, mixers, sausage stuffers, plastic boxes, floors and drains. In the slaughterhouse, these points were sausage stuffers, platforms, floors and drains. The most severely contaminated products were fresh sausages and ground beef. This information about the main points of microbiological contamination in the beef processing chain is expected to aid professionals responsible for hygiene in similar establishments to set up proper hygienic procedures to prevent or reduce microbiological contamination of beef and meat products.

Sem um controle higiênico adequado, o ambiente de abatedouros e açougues pode representar um importante ponto de contaminação. Com o objetivo de identificar os principais pontos de contaminação microbiológica na linha de processamento de carne, 443 amostras de equipamentos, instalações e produtos foram coletados em 11 estabelecimentos (1 abatedouro e 10 açougues) localizados no Estado do Paraná, Brasil. A qualidade microbiológica das amostras foi determinada utilizando-se placas Petrifilm™ para contagem de aeróbios mesófilos (AC), coliformes totais e Escherichia coli (EC) e bolores e leveduras (YM). Nos açougues os principais pontos de contaminação identificados, em ordem decrescente, foram caixas de aço inoxidável, amaciadores de carnes, moedores, facas, misturadores, embutideiras, caixas plásticas, pisos e ralos. No abatedouro, os principais pontos foram embutideiras, superfícies da plataforma de abate, pisos e ralos. Os produtos cárneos que apresentaram maiores níveis de contaminação foram lingüiças frescas e carne moída. Esse trabalho identificou os principais pontos de contaminação microbiológica na linha de processamento de carne, podendo direcionar profissionais responsáveis pelas condições higiênicas na obtenção desses produtos na determinação de procedimentos higiênicos adequados, para evitar ou reduzir a contaminação microbiológica em carne e seus derivados.Em processamentoSociedade Brasileira de Ciência e Tecnologia de AlimentosIdentification of main contamination points by hygiene indicator microorganisms in beef processing plantsIdentificação dos principais pontos de contaminação por microrganismos indicadores de higiene em plantas de processamento de carnesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlebeefcontaminationindicator microorganismsmeat processingEscherichia colicarne bovinacontaminaçãomicrorganismos indicadoresprocessamentoEscherichia coliinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessengreponame:Repositório Institucional da UnBinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBORIGINAL28.pdfapplication/pdf238669http://repositorio2.unb.br/jspui/bitstream/10482/26909/1/28.pdff6a9ffdc47d945c6905b1b6b4d2c40b8MD51open access10482/269092023-10-06 16:45:06.365open accessoai:repositorio2.unb.br:10482/26909Biblioteca Digital de Teses e DissertaçõesPUBhttps://repositorio.unb.br/oai/requestopendoar:2023-10-06T19:45:06Repositório Institucional da UnB - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
