Fatores extrínsecos que afetam a absorção de água em carcaças de frango de corte

O Brasil ocupa uma posição de destaque como produtor e exportador de carne de frango. Um parâmetro importante na qualidade da carne de frango é a quantidade de água absorvida pela carcaça durante o processamento. No Brasil, o resfriamento das carcaças é feito por imersão em água refrigerada e, neste processo, a carcaça é reidratada, recuperando a água perdida durante o transporte e as operações iniciais. Este projeto teve como objetivo avaliar os fatores extrínsecos que podem influenciar a absorção de água pela carne de frango. Para isso, foram utilizados 144 frangos da linhagem Cobb, divididos em 24 grupos de seis aves. Aos 42 dias de idade, uma ave de cada grupo, com peso variando até 10% para mais ou para menos, em relação à média do grupo, foram abatidas em abatedouro experimental. A etapa de resfriamento foi realizada seguindo um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com arranjo fatorial 3x2, onde os fatores foram: três temperaturas na primeira seção do sistema de refrigeração (4, 10 e 16 º C) e dois graus de dureza da água (água dura e água mole), com seis tratamentos e quatro repetições. A legislação brasileira estabelece que a temperatura da água na primeira seção do resfriador não deve ser superior a 16ºC. Todas as carcaças permaneceram na primeira seção do resfriador durante 30 minutos e, em seguida, foram transferidas para outro tanque com água a 4ºC, permanecendo até atingir 7ºC. As carcaças foram pesadas antes e após o resfriamento por imersão, para avaliação da percentagem de água absorvida. A absorção de água foi influenciada pela temperatura inicial da água no pré-resfriador e pela dureza da água. Quando imersas inicialmente em água a 4ºC, as carcaças absorveram, em média, 2,70%, uma absorção significativamente menor do que a média de 3,83% observada nas carcaças que foram inicialmente imersas em água a 16ºC (p<0,05). As carcaças imersas em água a 10ºC apresentaram média de absorção de água de 3,66%, não diferindo das médias observadas nos outros tratamentos (p>0,05). Em água dura, a média de absorção de água foi de 2,46% e, em água mole, de 4,33% (p<0,05). Em todos os tratamentos, a absorção de água não excedeu o limite estabelecido pela legislação brasileira, que é de, no máximo, 8%. Esta informação é importante para controlar a absorção de água pelas carcaças em processamento de carne de frango, impedindo que os consumidores sejam prejudicados.

Isolamento e identificação das micobactérias em águas tratadas provenientes do sistema de abastecimento de Araraquara-SP

Water quality is very important for the health and the population welfare, and the public supply system must provide water quality and suffi cient quantity for the entire population. Water treatment stations, are the main way to obtain water quality. When this doesn’t occur, several problems can affect the population, in this case, using water with poor quality is a constant risk of emergence causing various diseases. The elimination of microorganisms in treated water reduces competition, encouraging the multiplication of chlorine resistant bacteria as Mycobacterium genus frequently isolated from treated and chlorinated water. Considering the lack of indication from examinations of mycobacteria routine laboratory for quality control of drinking water and other human uses, the objective was to verify the presence isolate and identify the environmental mycobacteria in the system water source surface of Araraquara - SP. We analyzed 40 water samples, distributed as follows: ten water gross collected at Station Water Treatment Plant (WTP), harvested after ten fi ltration; ten collected in the reservoir after chlorination and ten in the network distribution. Were recovered 43 isolates of mycobacteria. All isolates were subjected to PCR-PRA. The mycobacteria were identifi ed as M. lentifl avum, M. parafortuitum, M. genavense, M. gordonae, M. fortuitum, M. confl uent, M. duvalii, M. avium subspecies paratuberculosis and M. szulgai. With these results, was concluded that water is an important source of environmental mycobacteria probably related to several human diseases, suggesting the carrying out continuous monitoring of the microorganisms in the system drinking water.

Bacteriological quality of irrigation water from vegetable gardens in the municipalities of Araraquara, Boa Esperança do Sul and Ibitinga, SP

This work aimed to assess the bacteriological quality of water used in the irrigation of vegetable gardens in the municipalities of Araraquara, Boa Esperança do Sul and Ibitinga, São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 80 samples of water used in the irrigation of 40 vegetable gardens were analyzed, two samples coming from each vegetable garden. They were collected at the same site in different months, which resulted in two sample collection groups. The most probable number (MPN/100mL) of total coliforms, thermotolerant coliforms and enterococci was identifi ed by means of the multiple tube technique. The analysis of the fi rst group samples showed quantities of thermotolerant coliforms above the amount allowed by current law for irrigation water (CONAMA Resolution n. 357) in nine cases. The owners of those vegetable gardens were then instructed in water disinfection procedures. After the analysis of the second group samples, it was noticed that only one sample did not meet the quality standards, and it was collected at a site where no disinfection procedure had been carried out. According to the results, 77.5% of the vegetable gardens were using water whose samples meet the quality standards. After the owners were instructed with regard to disinfection procedures, that number changed to 97.5%, which confi rms the importance of controlling and supervising irrigation water quality

A importância da atenção farmacêutica após a verificação da qualidade microbiológica de medicamentos contendo paracetamol encontrados em algumas residências de Américo Brasiliense - SP

It is known that a high microbial count can compromise the stability of medicines, thus reducing their therapeutic efficacy. This work tried to demonstrate that the microbial contamination can be directly related to the inadequate handling of the medicines stored in homes, making it possible to draw strategies to reduce the possible risks of medical therapy offering correct information and advising. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of the medicines containing paracetamol found in the residences of Américo Brasiliense-SP, using the microbial analysis of non-sterile method described in the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia (1988). The medicine samples (30 samples) were obtained directly from the interviewed local residents, who had received new medicine bottles of the same product. An analysis of viable microorganisms (bacteria and fungus) was carried out to identify pathogens found in the collected samples. Although 90% of the analyzed samples have shown some microbial contamination, the results indicated the absence of pathogenic microorganisms, and the total count of viable microorganisms was below the maximum value for non-sterile (104 UFC/g or mL). It was also verified that the local residents stored the medicines in appropriate places, according to the orientations received when they bought the medicines in pharmacies and drugstores, showing the importance of information for the correct use and conservation of pharmaceuticals.

Controle químico em pós-emergência de espécies de Brachiaria em três estádios vegetativos

The aim of this study was to correlate the chemical control efficacy in post-emergence of Brachiaria decumbens Stapf. (signal grass) and Brachiaria plantaginea Hitchc. (alexandergrass) through ACCase-inhibitor enzyme herbicide application in function of the stage of development of the plant in order to contribute to the chemical management of these weed species. B. decumbens and B. plantaginea were sown in plastic pots filled with soil and kept in a greenhouse. For chemical control evaluation, the following herbicides were tested (g ha-1): fluazifop-p-butyl at 150, haloxyfop-methyl at 50, and sethoxydim at 230. The herbicides were applied in all three plant development phases: stage 1 (plants presenting 4-6 leaves at 15 days after emergence), stage 2 (plants presenting 3-4 tillers at 23 days after emergence), and stage 3 (adult plants in the beginning of flowering at 48 days after emergence). Evaluations were done at 4, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 24, and 28 days after herbicide application. The developmental stage of the two Brachiaria species was instrumental in the efficiency of the control provided by different herbicides. Sethoxydim was the most efficient herbicide in controlling Brachiaria species in the three evaluated development stages.
