Abstract

A água de coco é uma bebida obtida do fruto verde de coqueiro, sendo um líquido refrescante, isotônico e cada vez mais consumido por suas características organolépticas e nutricionais. As etapas de extração e engarrafamento são bastante susceptíveis ao ataque microbiano resultando em perda da qualidade do produto e conseqüente diminuição do seu valor comercial. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo verificar a qualidade microbiológica da água de coco engarrafada e comercializada na cidade de Currais Novos/RN. Observou-se que, das 22 amostras analisadas, a presença de coliformes totais foi verificada em 82% das amostras (dezoito amostras) sugerindo o contato do coco com o habitat da referida bactéria bem como falhas no processo de higienização do fruto. Com relação à contagem de coliformes fecais, 22,7% apresentava-se fora dos padrões estabelecidos pela Legislação Brasileira, no entanto não foi constatada a presença de Salmonella sp e Staphylococcus coagulase positiva. Bactérias mesófilas e bolores e leveduras foram encontrados em níveis de 6,0 x 10 UFC/mL a 3,0 x 105 UFC/mL e de zero a 1,7 x 105 respectivamente, sugerindo a necessidade de melhorias durante o processo de envase de água de coco verde resfriada.

  • The study's microbiological analyses were performed according to the Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods of the American Public Health Association and the Manual of Methods for Microbiological Analysis of Foods.

    “All microbiological analyzes were performed according to the Compendium of Methods for the Microbiological Examination of Foods of the American Public Health Association (Downes;Ito, 2001) and the Manual of Methods for Microbiological Analysis of Foods (Silva et al., 2010).”

    From Microbiological analysis of coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) sold by street vendors in Sobral/CE, Brazil (2024) · cites this paper as Silva et al., 2010

    Section 2.2.2 (page unavailable) says the paper used a method recommended by Silva (2007) for Salmonella detection, and its References identify that work as a microbiological-analysis manual. It does not say that all analyses followed the manual or the APHA Compendium. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
