RESUMO

Los hongos se encuentran difundidos en el medio ambiente y son contaminantes frecuentes de los alimentos, siendo éste, el medio más fácil y rápido de transporte. Sus efectos nocivos dependerán de las condiciones externas que se brinden para que ellos puedan producir toxinas que afecten la salud del consumidor y el deterioro de los productos finales. El objetivo fue la identificación de la flora fúngica que pudiese estar presente en una empresa procesadora de alimento. La muestra estuvo constituida por áreas y superficies de interés para la empresa: áreas de empaque, rodillos de secado, piso 1, piso 2, piso 3 y la azotea, ubicada en el estado Carabobo, Venezuela. Se tomaron un total de 19 hisopados, para ser sembrados en agar Sabouraud y 49 placas empleando la técnica de sedimentación con el mismo agar, posteriormente fueron contabilizadas las UFC/mm3. Para la identificación por género y especie de los microorganismos se emplearon diferentes métodos y técnicas como: Cinta Adhesiva Transparente, Tubo Germinativo, Microcultivos y Pruebas API 20C. Los resultados obtenidos arrojaron que el mayor número de UFC/mm3 aisladas correspondieron a Cladiosporum oxysporum, Aspergillus níger, Rhizopus Spp y a Cándida albicans


Fungi are found spread throughout the environment and are frequent contaminants of food, since this is the fastest and easiest means for transport. Their injurious effects depend on the external conditions provided so that they can produce toxins affecting the health of the consumer and deterioration of the end products. The objective of this study was to identify the fungal flora that could be present in a food processing company. The sample consisted of areas and surfaces of interest to the company: packing areas, drying rollers, floor 1, floor 2, floor 3 and the roof, located in the state of Carabobo, Venezuela. A total of 19 swabs were taken, which were sown in Sabouraud agar and 49 plates, using the sedimentation technique with the same agar; later, the UFC/mm3 were counted. For identification of the microorganisms by genre and species, different methods and techniques were used, such as: transparent sticky tape, germinating tubes, microcultures and* API 20C tests. Results indicated that the greatest number of UFC/mm3 isolates corresponded to Cladiosporum oxysporum, Aspergillus níger, Rhizopus Spp and Cándida albicans

RESUMO

Various extraction procedures were employed for measuring extractable concentrations of potential toxic elements in soil. The extractability of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in four contaminated and four non-contaminated soils of Japan, was compared by single extraction [CaCl2, DTPA, NH4Cl, 0.1 M HCl and 1 M HCl] and sequential extraction procedures [[six operationally defined chemical phases, viz. water soluble [F1], exchangeable [F2], carbonate [F3], oxide [F4], organic [F5] and residual [F6] fractions]]. Extractability of metals from soils samples varied depending on metals and/or extractants used. Among the extractants, 1 M HCl extracted the largest proportion of Cd [79 to 96% of total], Cu [61 to 83%], Pb [51 to 99%] and Zn [23 to 52%] from soils followed by 0.1 M HCl, NH4Cl, DTPA and CaCl2. In all the extractants, the proportion of extractability of metals was higher in the contaminated soils than the non-contaminated soils. Regardless of soils and extractants, relative extractability was higher for Cd as compared to other three metals. The use of 1 M HCl may be recommended for first-level screening of soil contamination with heavy metals. The other four weak extractants are believed to provide a better assessment of bioavailable/mobile metals content in soils than 1 M HCl extractant. However, 0.1 M HCl mobilized all four metals irrespective of soil types, therefore, might be the best choice if only one extractant is to be used. The sequential extraction procedures showed 22 to 64% of total Cd was in the mobile fraction [sum of F1 to F3], while the corresponding values for Cu, Pb and Zn in this fractions were 2 to 23% suggesting higher mobility of Cd than other three metals. The single extraction procedures are simple and easy to perform and obtained results are comparable with sequential extraction procedure
