To investigate microbial diversity and identify spoilage bacteria in fresh pork sausages during storage, twelve industrial of different trademarks were stored at 4 ºC for 0, 14, 28 42 days, 80% relative humidity packaged sterile plastic bags. Microbiological analysis was performed. The pH water activity (a w) measured. culture-independent method performed the Polymerase Chain Reaction - Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). culture-dependent showed that populations mesophilic...

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are indigenous microorganisms occurring in pork sausages. The utilization of selected autochthonous LAB may improve the safety meat products. This study aims to enumerate and identify sausage characterize their properties, such as antimicrobial susceptibility antibacterial activity. A total 189 sealed packages sausages were collected seven municipalities (27 samples each city) Minas Gerais, Brazil. Microbiological analyses performed LAB. Two pre-selection criteria...

The use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in different food products has been driving the consumer market due to potential probiotic action these bacteria, which raises foods status functional foods. A selection strains can be obtained from matrices and environments. However, microorganisms must confirmed as safe while retaining characteristics that make them technologically, functionally physiologically capable benefitting health host. Characterisation a strain should include knowledge source,...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect different concentrations organics acids citric, lactic, acetic, and propionic on E. coli isolated from pork sausage. Two experiments were performed in vitro, respectively: agar disc diffusion minimum concentration (MIC) determination. In diffusion, 1.29 M citric acid inhibits bacterial growth. There no statistically significant difference MIC lactic acids; more effective than acetic acids. Based vitro results, added sausages...

Coalho cheese is a typical Northeastern Brazilian food whose production and consumption has expanded considerably to other regions of the country. Despite its cultural socioeconomic relevance, coalho still negative reputation due problems in physicochemical microbiological quality standards, especially when it produced artisanally. For this reason, many researchers have been looking for alternatives improve notoriety product, such as application probiotic strains inhibit pathogens. However,...

Pork products are important reservoir of Salmonella. In Brazil, the consumption of pork sausage is high and the occurrence of Salmonella in product is usual. Salmonella occurrence was studied in twenty samples of fresh pork sausage. Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) performed to characterize Salmonella isolates. Their antimicrobial and heat resistance were also evaluated. Salmonella was detected five of industrial sausage and six isolates obtained identified by phenotypic genotypic...
