Estudo da vegetação como subsídios para propostas de recuperação das nascentes da bacia hidrográfica do ribeirão Santa Cruz, Lavras, MG

Os objetivos deste estudo foram conhecer a composição florística do estrato arbóreo e regenerativo das nascentes da bacia hidrográfica do ribeirão Santa Cruz e selecionar espécies para serem utilizadas na revegetação das nascentes degradadas e perturbadas da bacia. Os levantamentos florístico e estrutural foram realizados em 12 nascentes. Para a comparação do perfil florístico entre as nascentes, empregaram-se a análise de correspondência retificada (DCA) e a análise de agrupamento de Cluster. A vegetação do estrato arbóreo apresentou maior diversidade nas nascentes perturbadas em relação às degradadas, assim como nas nascentes pontuais em relação às difusas. A similaridade florística do estrato regenerativo entre as nascentes de mesma categoria permitiu inferir que se devem utilizar espécies preferenciais em cada estado de conservação (perturbado ou degradado) e condições do ambiente (solo úmido ou bem drenado) nos programas de recuperação das áreas de preservação permanente das nascentes da bacia hidrográfica do ribeirão Santa Cruz.

Efeitos alelopaticos de alguns extratos vegetais na germinação do tomateiro (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Santa Cruz)

O presente trabalho teve por finalidade avaliar os possíveis efeitos alelopáticos de três plantas daninhas (Cyperus rotundus, Sorghum halepense e Cynodon dactylon), uma leguminosa (Canavalia ensiformis) e colza (Brassica napus), na germinação das sementes do tomateiro (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Santa Cruz) utilizado como indicador. Tubérculos de tiririca, rizomas de capim massambará, o sistema radicular de grama seda, além de folhas e raízes de feijão-de-porco e colza, foram homogeneizados em solução aquosa, submetidos a filtração e centrifugação. A aplicação do sobrenadante no substrato de germinação das sementes de tomateiro mostrou afetar o processo germinativo e o desenvolvimento da radícula e do hipocótilo. C. rotundus, S. halepense e raízes de C. ensiformis possuem substâncias altamente inibitórias à germinação do tomateiro 'Santa Cruz'', sendo que a planta indicadora também mostrou-se sensível às substâncias presentes nas folhas de B. napus e em C. dactylon.

The survival and establishment potential of spores of Cyathea delgadii Sternb. in soils from Itirapina and Moji Guaçu (SP), Brazil

Germination of spores of Cyathea delgadii was carried out in soils collected in March 1997 (rainy season) at three depths (0-5, 5-10 and 10-15 cm) from the cerrado, open-cerrado, gallery forest and marsh at Moji Guaçu and cerradão, cerrado and gallery forest at Pedregulho, in Itirapina, both in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Viability of spores mixed with soil and buried in the cerrado at the Reserva in Moji Guaçu were conducted for up to 10 months. The spores germinated in all soils. Germination in the soils was significantly lower than in distilled water. Germination was higher in soils from the gallery forest and cerrado than from open cerrado, cerradão and marsh. The germination was the same in the soil samples from the three depths of gallery forest, cerrado and cerradão. Spores of C. delgadii maintained viability longer when buried in cerrado soil than when dry stored at 4°C. After 10 months germination was 50.5% in buried spores against 3.8% in spores of the same age and harvest, stored at 4°C.

Effect of pre and post-slaughter processes on meat characteristics of Santa Ines ewes discarded due to age

The effects of body condition recovery (BC), carcass electrical stimulation (ES), aging time (AT 7 - 14 days), and calcium chloride injection on the meat characteristics of Santa Inês ewes (±5 years old) slaughtered immediately after weaning or after the body condition recovery period were studied. The carcass temperature, pH, shear force (SF), cooking loss (CL), meat color (L*, a*, b*), and meat tenderness were evaluated. A completely randomized design in a 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 (BC × ES × CaCl2 × AT) factorial arrangement was used, and the sensory tenderness data were analyzed using the table of Minimum Number of Correct Answers for the Duo-Trio test. The body condition recovery reduces the shear force in 8%, increasing their tenderness. Electrical stimulation reduced the shear force (24%) and did not change the other parameters. The aging time (7 or 14 days) decreased the shear force (18-26%), effect that was enhanced by electrical stimulation, and it darkened the meat reducing lightness (L*) and increasing yellowness (b*). The treatment with CaCl2 was the most effective in tenderizing meat by reducing the shear force ( 35%); increasing the cooking loss (4.5%); and increasing L* and b* lightening the meat. The sensory evaluation of tenderness corroborates the findings of the experimental evaluation regarding the effect of the treatment with CaCl2 on the meat quality improvement. It was concluded that the treatments improve meat characteristics achieving better results when applied together.

Ocurrence of Vibrio spp., positive coagulase staphylococci and enteric bacteria in oysters (Crassostrea gigas) harvested in the south bay of Santa Catarina island, Brazil

The aim of this study was to assess the contamination of oysters (Crassostrea gigas), harvested in six different regions of the South Bay of Santa Catarina Island, with Coliforms at 45 ºC, Escherichia coli, Vibrio spp., positive coagulase staphylococci, and Salmonella sp. over a period of one year. One hundred eighty oyster samples were collected directly from their culture sites and analyzed. Each sample consisted of a pool of 12 oysters. All of the samples analyzed showed absence of Salmonella, 18 (10%) samples showed presence of Escherichia coli, 15 (8.3%) samples were positive for V. alginolyticus, and Vibriocholerae was detected in 4 samples (2.2%). The counts of positive-coagulase staphylococci varied from <10 to 1.9 x 102 CFU.g-1, whereas the counts of Coliforms at 45 ºC and E. coli ranged from <3 to 1.5 x 102 MPN.g-1 and <3 and 4.3 x 10 MPN.g-1, respectively. Counts of V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus ranged between <3 and 7 MPN.g-1, for both microorganisms. This suggests the need for monitoring these Vibrios contamination in oysters. Based on the results of the microbiological assays, the samples analyzed showed acceptable bacteriological quality, i.e., they were within the parameters established by Brazilian Legislation.

Profile of establishments in the supermarket sector with respect to good practices in the city of Santa Maria (RS), Brazil

The objective of this study was to verify the compliance of the supermarket sector with respect to the Good Practice Program standards of the city of Santa Maria (RS), Brazil. Sixty nine establishments were verified using a checklist of good practices for the supermarket sector in Santa Maria, RS (Brazil), from April to July 2011. The data were collected by a food safety and quality professional using this checklist. The results showed that the overall adequacy of the establishments surveyed was 29.07%. The highest percentage of compliance was found for storage at ambient temperature (64.13%). The lowest compliance percentage was also found in different sections and areas in the supermarkets such as bakery and confectionery (14.93%), water supply (18.30%), food handling (21.01%), sausage and cold meat (or deli meat) (36.38%), and documentation-related items (4.97%). None of the supermarkets evaluated had the necessary documentation for the implementation of good practices. The results of this study show the importance of effectively implementing a good practice program and quality systems by raising awareness among technicians and professionals of the importance of quality programs used in food companies and the need for more thorough inspection delivered by competent authorities to ensure food safety for consumers.
