ABSTRACT

The goal of the present study was to verify the quality of refrigerated raw milk from dairy properties and also of refrigerated raw milk, pasteurized and Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk from industries in Vale do Taquari in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Physicochemical, microbiological and milk composition analysis were carried out, as established by legislation, in addition to total and thermotolerant coliforms and psychrotrophic counts in the three types of milk and mesophiles count in pasteurized milk and UHT milk from the industries. The collections took place in two industries and 33 dairy properties. Regarding the properties, two (6%) had milk with acidity above that established by legislation and three (9%) had milk with a total bacterial count (TBC) above the established. The milk from industry 1 presented acidity, TBC and density out of the established standards. The two industries and 53.2% of the properties had milk with somatic cell counts (SCC) above that determined by legislation. The milk from the industries showed higher amounts of SCC, TBC, psychrotrophic and total and thermotolerant coliforms than the milk from the dairy properties, and the milk from industry 1 showed higher amounts than the industry 2, in the microbiological parameters.


O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a qualidade do leite cru refrigerado das propriedades produtoras de leite e do leite cru refrigerado, pasteurizado e Ultra High Temperature (UHT) das indústrias do Vale do Taquari no Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Foram realizadas análises de composição do leite, análises físico-químicas e análises microbiológicas, estabelecidas pela legislação, além de coliformes totais e termotolerantes, contagem de psicrotróficos nos três tipos de leite, contagem de mesófilos no leite pasteurizado e no leite UHT das indústrias. As coletas ocorreram em duas indústrias e 33 propriedades produtoras de leite. Em relação às propriedades, duas (6%) apresentaram leite com acidez acima do estabelecido pela legislação e três (9%) apresentaram leite com contagem bacteriana total (CBT) acima do estabelecido. O leite da indústria 1 apresentou acidez, CBT e densidade fora dos padrões estabelecidos. As duas indústrias e 53,2% das propriedades apresentaram leite com contagem de células somáticas (CCS) acima do determinado pela legislação.

ABSTRACT

Milk is an essential food, widely consumed by the population. Brazil is one of the world's largest producers of milk. Milk quality is influenced by several factors in all its stages of production. The aim of this study was to determine the microbiological profile of refrigerated and processed raw bovine milk from industries in Vale do Taquari, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, using metagenomic analysis. A total of six samples were collected, one of refrigerated raw milk from the tanker truck, one of pasteurized milk and one of milk sterilized by the ultra-high temperature (UHT) process, in each of the industries. The identification of the milk microbiota was performed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. The results show that refrigerated raw milk has a greater number of microorganisms, followed by pasteurized milk and sterilized milk, successively. Processed milk showed the presence of beneficial microorganisms such as Streptococcus thermophilus and Streptococcus macedonicus. Nevertheless, even UHT milk showed the presence of microorganisms considered harmful, such as the Bacillus cereus group, Aeromonas dhakensis, Enterobacter bacterium and Acinetobacter haemolyticus. Metagenomics is a valuable tool for the thorough evaluation of the milk microbiota in order to implement the processing stages in industries.

ABSTRACT

Tetranychus urticae Koch and Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks are mite species considered capable of attaining pest levels, damaging a range of agricultural crops. The Pampa biome is characterized by the high biodiversity it houses, particularly microbial diversity, which highlights its potential for developing microorganisms that can provide biological control of arthropods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of four fungal isolates from the soil of the Pampa biome in the biological control of T. urticae (females and eggs) and P. latus (females). Experiments consisted of isolating and identifying fungal isolates for spore quantification and aspersion at 108, 106, and 104 spores/mL concentrations in arenas containing T. urticae females and eggs, and P. latus females, separately. Results indicated that only three isolates (Aspergillus brunneoviolaceus, Clonostachys chloroleuca, and Penicillium adametzii) showed high control of T. urticae females, yet they did not exhibit any control of T. urticae eggs and P. latus females. Therefore, the present study confirms the viability of some of these fungi as biological control agents of mites, which implies the importance of new prospects with other fungal species, considering the richness of resources in the Pampa biome, or even the need to test higher concentrations and other variables using the microorganisms of the present study.

ABSTRACT

The genus Salmonella spp. Has worldwide geographical distribution, and represents a potential risk both to animal and human health. Inadequate use as well as continuous exposure to antibiotics and disinfectants might lead to the appearance of resistance of these microorganisms to antimicrobial compounds. The aims of this study were to investigate the occurrence of resistance in Salmonella spp., isolated from products and raw material of animal origin (swine and poultry), to antibiotics and disinfectants, and check whether the phenomenon of simultaneous resistance to disinfectants occurs among the antibiotic-resistant isolates. The test of susceptibility to antimicrobials (TSA) applied in 134 isolates indicated that 51 (38%) were resistant to at least one of the eight antibiotics used, and 28 (55%) of resistant isolates were multi-resistant. Resistant isolates were submitted to the test of quantitative suspension against four concentrations of disinfectants in three contact times, and the result was compared with that of the reference strain (Salmonella Choleraesuis ATCC 10.708). While the reference strain was sensitive considering the highest concentration (200 ppm) and the lowest contact time (5 min) as indicators, 12 (24%) isolates were resistant to cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (ammonia quaternary); the reference strain was resistant to chlorhexidine, which also occurred with 22 (43%) of the isolates; similar to the reference strain, all isolates were sensitive/inactivated by sodium hypochlorite and iodophore. There were no significant relations of simultaneous resistance between the antibiotics and the disinfectants tested.(AU)

O uso inadequado bem como a exposição continuada aos antibióticos e aos desinfetantes pode resultar no surgimento de resistência desses microrganismos frente aos compostos antimicrobianos. Os objetivos do trabalho foram investigar a ocorrência de resistência a antibióticos e aos desinfetantes de Salmonella spp. isoladas em produtos e matéria-prima de origem animal (suínos e aves), e verificar se entre os isolados resistentes a antibióticos ocorre o fenômeno de resistência concomitante com desinfetantes. O teste de susceptibilidade a antimicrobianos (TSA) aplicado em 134 isolados indicou que 51 (38%) foram resistentes a pelo menos um dos oito antibióticos usados, sendo que 28 (55% dos resistentes) mostraram-se multirresistentes. Os isolados resistentes foram submetidos ao teste de suspensão quantitativo frente a quatro concentrações de desinfetantes em três tempos de contato, e o resultado comparado com o da cepa referência (Salmonella Choleraesuis ATCC 10.708). Considerando como indicador a maior concentração (200 ppm) e o menor tempo de contato (5 min), frente ao cloreto de cetil trimetilamônio (quaternário de amônia), enquanto a cepa referência foi sensível, 12 (24%) dos isolados foram resistentes; a cepa referência foi resistente a clorexidina, o que ocorreu com 22 (43%) dos isolados; assim como ocorreu com a cepa referência, todos os isolados foram sensíveis/inativados pelo hipoclorito de sódio e iodóforo. Não houve relações estatisticamente significativas de resistência concomitante entre os antibióticos e os desinfetantes testados.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The stored food mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Acari: Acaridae) has been associated with the presence of several fungal species. The aims of this work were to evaluate T. putrescentiae population growth associated to environmental and medically important fungal species to determine on which fungal species populations of T. putrescentiae performs best, and to evaluate their ability to disperse each fungal species. First, 24 fungal species were inoculated separately in Petri dishes containing Sabouraud agar medium. One week after inoculation, 50 mites were added to each plate. On the 28th evaluation day, mites and eggs were counted in each plate, and 50 mites randomly collected from each replicate were transferred to new plates containing only Sabouraud agar medium. Then, mites, eggs, and fungal population were evaluated in each plate on day 28 again. The highest population increases were on Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Alternaria sp., Microsporum gypseum, and Aspergillus chevalieri. With Fusarium guttiforme and the medically important fungi Microsporum canis, M. gypseum, T. mentagrophytes, and Sporothrix sp., mites were observed to feed on whole mycelium. Only eight fungal species were dispersed by T. putrescentiae to the new Petri dishes: Aspergillus clavatus, Candida tropicalis, Candida albicans, Fusarium guttiforme, Hyphopichia burtonii, Penicillium citrinum, Rhizophus azygosporus, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The best performance of T. putrescentiae was found feeding on F. guttiforme, P. citrinum, and T. mentagrophytes. In conclusion, T. putrescentiae successfully used fungi as a food source, and it proved to be an important tool for disseminating both environmental and medically important fungi.

ABSTRACT

In this study, we isolated Lactobacillus spp. from bovine raw milk and artisanal cheese from southern Brazil, and evaluated their technological and probiotic potential to select new isolates for producing healthy fermented dairy foods with differentiated tastes and flavours. We obtained 48 new lactobacilli isolates, which were isolated from raw milk (38) and cheese (10). These bacterial isolates were closely related with ten species: Lactobacillus paracasei (50% of the isolates), L. parabuchneri (15%), L. pentosus (13%), L. zeae (4%), L. plantarum (4%), L. otakiensis (4%), L. casei (4%), L. harbinensis (2%), L. diolivorans (2%), and L. rhamnosus (2%). Isolates CH112 and CH131 showed the greatest acidification potential, reducing the pH of milk to below 5.3 after incubation for 6 h at 32 °C. Considering proteolytic activity and diacetyl production, isolates ML88a, ML04, and ML12 showed the most promising results. Isolate ML12 showed 100% survival rate when inoculated in gastric juice at pH 2.5. The evaluation of antibacterial activity of the lactobacilli showed that the pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, and Salmonella Typhimurium were strongly inhibited by the pure lactobacilli cultures. Five Lactobacillus isolates (ML01, ML04, ML12, ML88, and CH139) showed both technological and probiotic characteristics. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to investigate correlations among technological and probiotic characteristics, and identified new promising lactobacilli isolates for exploring their characteristics. This study reveals the importance of selecting new microorganisms with potential applicability in the food industry for developing functional foods with differentiated aromas and flavours.

ABSTRACT

In this study, lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential, including Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC8014, L. paracasei ML33 and L. pentosus ML82, were encapsulated with whey-alginate-pectin (WAP) or whey permeate-alginate-pectin (PAP) by an extrusion process using vibrational technology, with the resulting microparticles assessed for their resistance to adverse conditions. The aim was to assess the effect of the encapsulation wall materials on the viability of microorganisms, the encapsulation, refrigerated storage and simulated gastrointestinal tract conditions, the kinetic parameters of acidification, and the morphology of microparticles. The bacteria encapsulated with the WAP wall material were adequately protected. Furthermore, after three months of storage at 4 °C, the encapsulated bacteria exhibited a cell viability of >6 log CFU mL-1. In addition, the encapsulated L. plantarum ATCC8014 and L. pentosus ML82 isolates exhibited the highest viability at the end of the storage period among the assayed isolates. Encapsulated bacteria showed greater resistance to acidic conditions than unencapsulated bacteria when exposed to simulated gastrointestinal tract conditions. The maximum rate of milk acidification by encapsulated Lactobacillus spp. was approximately three-fold lower than that observed for unencapsulated bacteria. The resulting size of the microparticles generated using both combinations of wall materials used was approximately 150 µm. The cheese whey and whey permeate combined with alginate and pectin to adequately encapsulate and protect Lactobacillus spp. from the adverse conditions of the simulated gastrointestinal tract and from refrigeration storage temperatures. Furthermore, the sizes of the obtained microparticles indicated that the encapsulated materials are suitable for being incorporated into foods without changing their sensory properties.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is used in traditional medicine because of its bioactive properties, such as antioxidant and antibacterial. Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacteria and as an indicator of contamination in food. The aim of this work was to evaluate the anti-Escherichia coli effect and the change in pH on the control of aerobic mesophilic microorganisms, using hydroethanolic extract of H. sabdariffa L. in different concentrations in a meat model, verifying its potential as food additive for microbiological stability on ground beef during cooling storage. For the preparation of the treatments, the meat experimental units were elaborated with different concentrations of the vegetal extract (5, 10, 15 and 20%), ground beef and contaminated with E. coli. For pH evaluation, the meat experimental units were added different percentages of hydroethanolic extract. The H. sabdariffa L. antibacterial action reduced two logarithmic levels in practically all treatments. The best pH result was obtained in the meat containing 30% of the extract. The hydroethanolic extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. showed anti-Escherichia coli activity in the presence of refrigerated ground beef. Analyzing the pH results and the count of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, it is possible this extract to be used as a natural food additive.

ABSTRACT

O hibisco (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) possui propriedades antioxidantes e antimicrobianas, e pode ser utilizado como planta medicinal e alimento funcional. Este estudo determinou a intensidade de atividade de inibição (IINIB) e a inativação bacteriana (IINAB) in vitro de dois extratos alcoólicos, obtidos de cálices e frutos com sementes de diferentes acessos de hibisco. As análises foram efetuadas sobre as bactérias de padrão internacional, Enterococcus faecalis, E. coli, Salmonella Enteritidis e S. aureus, associando-se os resultados aos polifenóis totais e antocianinas. Diferenças significativas na atividade antimicrobiana dos extratos alcoólicos foram observadas em ambos os acessos. Salmonella Enteritidis (11,5) e E. coli (12) foram as bactérias mais sensíveis, respectivamente, aos extratos alcoólicos de cálices de hibisco e dos frutos com sementes. S. aureus (5,2 e 0,1) foi a mais resistente a ambos os extratos. Os valores de IINIB foram predominantemente maiores quando comparados aos de IINAB, o que indica que geralmente a atividade bacteriostática é maior do que a bactericida. Os valores de polifenóis totais e de antocianinas do extrato alcoólico de cálices apresentaram diferença significativa e foram superiores aos do extrato alcoólico dos frutos com sementes. Possivelmente exista associação direta entre a concentração de antocianina e a atividade antibacteriana em diferentes estruturas vegetais do hibisco.

ABSTRACT

Ao longo dos últimos anos é crescente a preocupação com a qualidade de vida e a preservação da saúde. A cultura orgânica, diante da tendência ao consumo de alimentos mais saudáveis, visa produzir alimentos sem a adição de agrotóxicos ou qualquer produto químico. Esta agricultura tem-se intensificado, pois contraria a agricultura convencional, cujo objetivo principal é a utilização intensiva de terras e de tecnologias que acarreta em um grande uso de fertilizantes, inseticidas e herbicidas. As hortaliças são componentes importantes em uma dieta saudável, ajudando a diminuir o risco de determinadas doenças, além de favorecer o trânsito intestinal e proporcionar efeito antioxidante no organismo. No entanto, estas hortaliças possuem nitrato e nitrito, componentes naturais, precursores de algumas formas de câncer e da metahemoglobinemia. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar a concentração de nitrato e nitrito em hortaliças, como beterraba, cenoura, espinafre e repolho, cultivados de forma convencional e orgânica. A determinação de nitrato e nitrito foi baseada na metodologia oficial do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento e os resultados foram comparados através do Statistica® for Windows versão 7.0. O nitrito foi encontrado na beterraba e no espinafre e o nitrato ocorreu em todas as amostras analisadas. Todos os vegetais apresentaram médias de valores superiores a 1000 mg/kg, portanto foram classificados como hortaliças com alto conteúdo de nitrato. Houve diferença significativa entre os níveis de nitrato dos vegetais da agricultura convencional para a orgânica, mostrando que o consumo de hortaliças orgânicas favorece uma menor ingestão destes elementos.


In recent years there is a concern about the quality of life and public health. The organic farming aims to produce organic foods without pesticides due to the trend towards consumption of healthier foods. This type of farming contradicts the conventional farming, whose main objective is the intensive use of land, technology and fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides. Vegetables are important components in a healthy diet, since they minimize some disease risks, promote intestinal function and provide antioxidant effects in the body. However, these vegetables contain nitrate and nitrite, natural compounds, precursors of some forms of cancer and methemoglobinaemia. This study aimed to compare the concentration of nitrate and nitrite in vegetables such as beets, carrots, spinach and cabbage, grown in conventional and organic production. The determination of nitrate and nitrite was based on the official methodology of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply and the results were evaluated using the Statistica® for Windows version 7.0. Nitrite was found in beets and spinach and nitrate was found in all the samples. All plants showed high content of nitrate, which exceeded 1000 mg/kg. There were significant differences between the levels of nitrate from conventional farming to organic one, which shows that the intake of organic vegetables benefits a lower intake of these elements.

The hibiscus ( Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, it can be used as functional food and medicinal plant. This study aimed at determining the intensity of activity inhibition (IINIB) and of inactivation (IINAB) of two alcoholic extracts obtained from calyxes and fruits with seeds of different accesses of hibiscus on international standards bacterial Enterococcus faecalis , Escherichia coli , Salmonella Enteritidis and Staphylococcus aureus . And the correlation between these results and the presence of total polyphenols and anthocyanins was done. The antimicrobial activity of alcoholic extract from both accesses showed a significant difference . While Salmonella Enteritidis (11,5) and Escherichia coli (12) were more susceptible to the alcoholic extract from hibiscus calyxes and fruits with seeds, respectively, the Staphylococcus aureus (5.2 e 0.1) was the most resistant in both extracts. The IINIB values were higher than IINAB values , showing that the bacteriostatic activity was usually higher than the bactericide. Total polyphenols and anthocyanins contents in calyxes alcoholic extract showed a significant difference, and they were higher than in alcohol extract from fruits with seeds. It seems likely that occurs a direct correlation between the anthocyanin concentration and the antibacterial activity in different structures of the hibiscus plant.(AU)
