摘要:Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar a caracterização físico-química, microbiológica e sensorial do queijo de leite de cabra tipo Coalho condimentado com cumaru (Amburana cearensis A.C. Smith), produzido na Região do Cariri do Estado da Paraíba, Brasil. Os valores médios obtidos para umidade, proteínas, lipídeos, gordura em extrato seco, cinzas e acidez em ácido lático foram de 46,5; 23,9; 25,3; 47,5; 3,8; 0,09%, respectivamente. Todas as amostras apresentaram contagem de coliformes totais > 2,4 × 10³ NMP.g-1 e coliformes fecais oscilando entre 0,3 × 10¹ e > 2,0 × 10³ NMP.g-1. Não foi detectada presença de Salmonella. Para as contagens de mesófilos, fungos e Staphylococcus coagulase positiva, foram encontrados valores entre 3,7 × 10(4) e 5,6 × 10(8); 4,6 × 10² e 5,2 × 10(9);
其他摘要:This study aimed to carry out the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characterization of coalho-like goat's milk cheese with added coumarou (Amburana cearensis A.C. Smith), manufactured in the Cariri region, Paraíba State, Brazil. The average values obtained for moisture, protein, fat, fat in the dry extract, ash and acidity as lactic acid were 46.5; 23.9; 25.3; 47.5; 3.8 and 0.09%, respectively. All the samples analyzed presented total coliform counts > 2.4 x 10³ MPN.g-1, while the faecal coliforms ranged between 0.3 x 10¹ - > 2.0 x 10³ MPN.g-1. Salmonella was not found in any of the samples. The mesophilic, fungal and coagulase-positive Staphylococcal counts were between 3.7 x 10(4)-5.6 x 10(8); 4.6 x 10²-5.2 x 10(9); and > 10¹-8.0 x 10(5) CFU.g-1, respectively. The sensory tests showed good acceptance of the product assessed and satisfactory results for purchasing intent. The good acceptance of the cheeses evaluated showed the potential for increased consumption. However, the results of the microbiological analyses showed the need for better monitoring of the steps involved in its processing, in order to obtain a product with better microbiological quality.
