Avaliação físico-química e microbiológica de salames artesanais / Physical-chemical and microbiological handmade salamis

Entende-se por salame, o produto cárneo obtido de carne suína ou bovina, adicionado de toucinho, ingredientes, embutidos em envoltórios naturais e/ou artificiais, curado, fermentado, maturado, defumado ou não dessecado. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar micro-organismos indicadores, através da análise de coliformes totais e fecais, verificação do pH e atividade de água em salames artes anais comercializados na região da serra gaúcha. Dentre as amostras analisadas houve contaminação tanto para coliformes totais quanto para fecais, todas, porém, dentro dos níveis aceitáveis pela RDC 12. Na verificação de atividade de água somente três amostras demonstraram não estar nos limites que a legislação permite de até 0,92, já na medição de pH foram encontrados valores normais para produtos cárneos. Embora fabricados e comercializados em condições higienicossanitárias, por vezes, questionáveis, a maioria das amostras de salames oriundos da região da serra gaúcha, avaliados, estavam aptas para consumo, considerando os padrões microbiológicos e físico-químicos analisados.

It is understood as salami, the meat eating product obtained from swine or bovine, lard added, ingredients, embedded on natural wraps and/or artificial, cured, fermented, matured, smoked or not dried. The study has as objective to analyze indicators microorganisms, trough analysis of total fecal coliforms, verification of pH and activity of water in artisanal salami commercialized in mountain region of Rio Grande do Sul. Among the analyzed samples it has contamination as total as well as fecal coliforms, all of them, however inside accepted levels by RDC 12. On verification of water activity only three samples not being inside legal limits of Max 0.92, on pH was found values normality for eating products. Although manufactured and commercialized in hygiene and sanitary conditions, some times, questionable, the most of the salami sample from mountain region of Rio Grande do Sul, evaluated, was able to consume considering the standard microbiological and physic-chemical analysis.

Mothers' perceptions about the nutritional status of their overweight children: a systematic review / Percepção de mães sobre o estado nutricional de seus filhos com excesso de peso: revisão sistemática

OBJECTIVE: this systematic review aims to explore and describe the studies that have as a primary outcome the identification of mothers' perception of the nutritional status of their children. SOURCES: the PubMed, Embase, LILACS, and SciELO databases were researched, regardless of language or publication date. The terms used for the search, with its variants, were: Nutritional Status, Perception, Mother, Maternal, Parents, Parental. SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS: after screening of 167 articles, 41 were selected for full text reading, of which 17 were included in the review and involved the evaluation of the perception of mothers on the nutritional status of 57,700 children and adolescents. The methodological quality of the studies ranged from low to excellent. The proportion of mothers who inadequately perceived the nutritional status of their children was high, and was the most common underestimation for children with overweight or obesity. CONCLUSION: despite the increasing prevalence of obesity in pediatric age, mothers have difficulty in properly perceiving the nutritional status of their children, which may compromise referral to treatment programs. .

OBJETIVO: esta revisão sistemática tem por objetivo explorar e descrever os estudos que apresentam como desfecho primário a identificação da percepção das mães quanto ao estado nutricional de seus filhos. FONTE DOS DADOS: foram utilizadas as bases de dados PubMed, Embase, LILACS e SciELO, sem distinção de idioma ou data de publicação. Os termos utilizados para a busca, com suas variações, foram: Nutritional Status, Perception, Mother, Maternal, Parents, Parental. SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: após triagem dos 167 artigos encontrados, restaram 41 artigos para leitura do texto completo, sendo incluídos 17 artigos, que envolveram a avaliação da percepção de mães sobre o estado nutricional de 57.700 crianças e adolescentes. A qualidade metodológica dos artigos variou de baixa a excelente. A proporção de mães que percebiam inadequadamente o estado nutricional dos filhos foi elevada, sendo mais comum a subestimativa para crianças com sobrepeso ou obesidade. CONCLUSÃO: apesar do aumento da prevalência de obesidade em faixas pediátricas, as mães têm dificuldade de perceber adequadamente o estado nutricional de seus filhos, o que pode comprometer o encaminhamento para programas de tratamento. .
