The consumption of lamb meat in Brazil has increased in the last years but little information about the microbiological quality of this product is available. To evaluate the hygienic-sanitary conditions of lamb carcasses, the quantification of microorganism populations indicators (mesophiles and psychrotrophs; total and thermotolerant coliforms; Escherichia coli; moulds and yeasts) and the pathogenic microorganisms indentification (Salmonella sp. and Listeria spp.) were performed. A total of 60 lamb carcasses were sampled from one abattoir in São Paulo. Swab samples were collected from three points (forequarter, back and hindquarter) on the muscle surface after carcasses final washing. Statistical analysis consisted of descriptive evaluation of the results whose counts were grouped by intervals of microorganism populations. Counts ranged from 1.0 x 10¹ to 8.0 x 10(4) colony-forming unit cm-2 (CFU cm-2) for mesophiles; 1.0 x 10(0) to 4.4 x 10(4)CFU cm-2 for psychrotrophs; < 1.0 x 10(0) to 4.4 x 10(4)CFU cm-2 for moulds and yeasts; < 0.3 to > 32.0 most probable number/cm² (MPN cm-2) for total and thermotolerant coliforms and Escherichia coli. Salmonella sp. and Listeria spp. were not found in any of the carcasses. Most carcasses presented low counts for all microorganisms. Overall results may be explained by the small size of the industry where the study was taken. Results suggest that good microbiological quality lamb meat is possible to be obtained, but improvement in hygienic-sanitary conditions is still required.

The aim of this work was to assess the microbiological quality of spices sold in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 233 samples were analyzed for mesophilic bacteria, thermotolerant coliforms, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella. Data showed that 21 and 5.6% of these samples were not in agreement with the standards of Brazilian law, due to an excess of coliforms and to the presence of Salmonella, respectively. Black pepper and cumin exhibited the lowest microbiological quality, whereas bay leaf showed the highest quality. It was concluded that the seasonings possessed poor microbiological quality, and new alternatives should be taken in the primary production in order to improve this quality. Irradiation may also be a tool to assure the safety of these products.

ABSTRACT: The Minas fresh cheese is a fresh and moist cheese and, therefore, has a short shelf-life. The use of raw milk as the main feedstock, the absence of ripening and the facility of contamination are factors that can compromise the product’s microbiological quality. The aim of this study was to describe the hygienic-sanitary quality of 50 Minas fresh cheeses marketed in Botucatu city, São Paulo, Brazil, close to their production date, and another 50 units from the same lot exactly on the expiration date, according to the Brazilian Sanitary Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). We also searched for enterotoxins genes in Staphylococcus aureus and its in vitro expression. In 36% of the first analyzed samples, the count of coliforms at 45ºC was above the limit and, as for the second analysis, 44%. Regarding coagulase positive staphylococci, 10 (20%) samples showed concentration above the permitted by law next to the production date and 14% on the expiration date. Salmonella was only observed in one sample analyzed near the date of production, while L. monocytogenes only in one sample analyzed on the expiration day. We isolated three enterotoxigenic strains of S. aureus that produced Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB) and Staphylococcal Enterotoxin C (SEC) in vitro, highlighting the importance of proper storage of this product due to its potential to cause intoxication. Overall, the quality of Minas fresh cheese is still unsatisfactory, leading to risks to consumers’ health.

Besides honey and propolis, bee products already well consolidated, pollen also has relevant economic, nutritional and functional value. As the quality of the final product is directly related to the region where it is collected and processed, this work has evaluated the nutritional and microbiological quality of two dehydrated bee pollens from São Paulo state and the other produced by beekeepers from northern of Mato Grosso state, but with no inspection. Physical-chemical and microbiological quality, phenolic composition and mineral profile analysis were performed. It was observed that both pollens presented satisfactory quality regarding protein contents (24.8 ± 2.4 g 100 g-1), total sugars (36.2 ± 1.1 g 100 g-1), lipids (4.0 ± 0.3 g 100 g-1), ashes (2.6 ± 0.05 g 100 g-1), free acidity (238.7 ± 4.5 mEq Kg-1) and pH (4.8 ± 0.03), however regarding the humidity levels (6.6 ± 2.2 g 100 g-1) both samples were not in accordance with recommended by law (4 g 100 g-1). The bioactive profile has shown a significant amount of phenolic compounds (37.3 ± 1.1 mg GAE g-1) and flavonoids (41.8 ± 2.5 mg QE g-1), besides potential antioxidants around, approximately, 50 and 80%. Microbiological analyzes have revealed low bacterial contamination (≤ 3.6 MPN g-1), molds and yeasts (variation between 1.2x103 and 4x101 CFU g-1), according to values stipulated by the current legislation, being observed the absence of Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli. The bee pollens investigated have nutritional quality and safety for consumption. However, pollen from São Paulo state showed greater antioxidant potential, probably due to its higher content of phenolics when compared with pollen from Mato Grosso state.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Chronic kidney failure is a disease that affects the functions of the kidneys and can cause irreversible kidney failure over time. Among the main factors that cause this disease are hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The number of patients presenting this clinical condition has been increasing in Brazil, leading to an increase in renal replacement therapy, such as hemodialysis. Material and methods: In the state of São Paulo, a joint action between the Adolfo Lutz Institute, the Sanitary Surveillance Center, and the Sanitary Surveillance Groups have promoted the State Program for the Monitoring of Water Treated for Dialysis since 2007 to evaluate the chemical and microbiological quality of the water used in dialysis in compliance with the current legislation. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the monitoring program developed between 2010 and 2016 as a tool for corrective action when unsatisfactory results are observed. Results: The level of satisfactory results during the period varied from 85.8 to 98.0%, indicating an increase in the adequacy of the dialysis services in producing water with adequate quality for patient health. Conclusion: The design adopted in the state monitoring program is highly effective based on new collections after the joint actions of the Sanitary Surveillance System and the State Dialysis Services.
