ABSTRACT
O uso do soro lácteo como complemento na formulação de alimentos visando ao seu aproveitamento é uma alternativa para a obtenção de novos produtos. Neste trabalho, desenvolveram-se bebidas à base de soro oriundo de queijo coalho tipo A com frutas e hortaliças. Na formulação das bebidas, utilizaram-se diferentes proporções entre soro lácteo, frutas e hortaliças, com adição de 10% de açúcar. Seis bebidas foram formuladas e submetidas a um teste de preferência, e as três primeiras colocadas foram submetidas a um teste de aceitação sensorial. As três preferidas foram as bebidas sabor graviola, morango e goiaba. A bebida sabor graviola obteve aceitação com as melhores notas nos atributos sensoriais cor, sabor, aparência e qualidade global, seguida pela formulação de sabor morango, mas sem diferença significativa (P>0,05). A bebida sabor goiaba teve o diferencial no atributo odor e superou as bebidas sabor graviola e morango (P<0,05). Conclui-se que é viável a elaboração de bebidas à base de soro de queijo coalho com frutas.
The use of whey as complement in food formulation aiming it's an alternative for the attainment of new products. The aim of this work was developed a type A curd cheese whey derived drink with fruits and vegetables. On drink's formulation was used different ratios of whey, fruits and vegetables, with 10% of sugar. Six drinks were formulated and submited to a preference test. The three best drinks were submitted to a acceptance test. The three best drinks were graviola, strawberry and guava flavours. The graviola one had the greater acceptability with best grades in color's sensory attributes, flavor, appearance and overall quality, following the strawberry flavor, but without significant difference (P<0,05). The guava dink had it's differential on scent character, overcoming the graviola and strawberry drinks (P<0,05). In conclusion we can say that whey-based drink with fruits is viable.

The occurrence of Cryptosporidium spp. in superficial waters at the Metropolitan Region of Recife, PE, was studied. Raw and treated water were analyzed by filtration of the samples on a membrane (47mm, 3µm) under negative pressure, by the direct immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and by the 4'6'-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) method. The samples were analyzed during drought (September to February) and raining (March to August) seasons. Oocysts were not found in treated water. Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts were found in non-treated water by IFA/DAPI technique in 40% (2/5) of the locations and in 5% (3/60) of the samples investigated, with the number varying from 16 oocysts/l to 40/l, in dry and raining seasons, respectively. This is the first report of Cryptosporidium spp. in surface water in the state of Pernambuco, Northeast of Brazil.

Realizaram-se avaliações bacteriológicas da matéria-prima utilizada na elaboração de um produto cárneo caprino tipo hambúrguer defumado, antes e após sanitização. A carne foi tratada por aspersão, com uma solução de ácidos orgânicos contendo 2 por cento de ácido acético, 1 por cento de ácido lático, 0,25 por cento de ácido cítrico e 0,1 por cento de ácido ascórbico, e armazenada sob refrigeração. As análises bacteriológicas foram realizadas no dia 0 e aos 7 e 14 dias após defumação. Na carne, no dia 0, a contagem de coliformes fecais estava acima do limite permitido pela legislação vigente, mas sete dias após a sanitização, esse parâmetro estava dentro dos limites permitidos. No produto final todos os parâmetros bacteriológicos encontraram-se dentro dos padrões higiênico-sanitários.
In order to obtain a safe goat smoked hamburger, bacteriological analysis of the raw material was performed before and after sanitation. Meat was sprayed with a solution of organic acids containing 2 percent acetic acid, 1 percent lactic acid, 0.25 percent citric acid and 0.1 percent ascorbic acid and, after that, stored under refrigeration. Bacteriological analysis was carried out on days 0, 7 and 14 after goat smoked hamburger processing. In meat, on day 0, the fecal coliform count was above legal limits, but on day 7 after sanitation this parameter was these limits. In the final product, all the results of the bacteriological parameters were according to the sanitary-hygienic standards.

Cryptosporidium spp. oocyst recovery in water and milk samples was evaluated. Samples were inoculated with a suspension of 1.2×10(7) Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts and submitted to centrifugal flotation, using different solutions (sucrose, NaCl, MgSO4, ZnSO4, AlSO4, NH4SO4 40 percent and NH4SO4 80 percent). Centrifugation of the samples was carried out in two stages for concentration using two methods that differed in the order in which the saturated solutions were used, namely only in the first stage of method I and only in the second stage of method II. Oocyst identification was performed using the Kinyoun and Koster histochemical staining techniques. Samples analyzed by method I showed different degree of oocyst recovery, namely 10.9 percent with NaCl and 42.5 percent with MgSO4 in water and milk samples, while those samples analyzed by method II showed 10.6 percent with NaCl and 5.3 percent with sucrose in water and milk, respectively. Histochemical staining methods have no influence on the degree of oocysts recovery. The efficiency of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts recovery methods depends on the nature and composition of the sample and on the methodology used for oocyst concentration.
Avaliou-se a recuperação de oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. em amostras de água e leite. As amostras foram contaminadas experimentalmente com uma suspensão de 1,2×10(7) oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. e concentradas por centrífugo-flutuação para comparação entre diferentes substâncias (sacarose, NaCl, MgSO4, ZnSO4, AlSO4, NH4SO4 40 por cento e NH4SO4 80 por cento). A centrifugação das amostras foi realizada em duas etapas para concentração utilizando-se dois métodos, diferentes pela ordem do uso das soluções saturadas no procedimento, na primeira etapa de concentração do método I, e na segunda etapa, do método II. A identificação do oocisto foi realizada mediante as técnicas de coloração histoquímica Kinyoun e Koster modificado. O grau de recuperação de oocistos foi 10,9 por cento com NaCl e 42,5 por cento com MgSO4 nas amostras de água e leite, respectivamente (método I), e de 10,6 por cento com NaCl e 5,3 por cento com sacarose nas amostras de água e leite, respectivamente (método II). Os métodos de coloração histoquímica não influenciaram nos resultados. A eficácia dos métodos de recuperação de oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. depende da natureza e composição da amostra e da metodologia usada para a concentração dos oocistos na amostra.
