Analysis in municipal markets for the evaluation of the hygienic quality of beef
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of E. coli/Coliforms in beef marketed in the Municipal Markets of Northeastern Guayaquil in order to determine the microbiological quality of meat products. The research work was carried out in the laboratory, with descriptive, exploratory and non-experimental knowledge. Using the Petrifilm plate culture system, a total of 84 beef samples obtained from 5 municipal markets with a total of 42 stalls dedicated to the sale of meat products were evaluated during two weeks. The results determined that 96% of the samples showed CFU of E. coli and Coliforms and 4% showed the presence of CFU of Coliforms and E. coli. Coli, resulting in a total value of 94% (79) of samples unfit for human consumption and a lower percentage of fit samples represented by 6% (5). In turn, these results could be related to the application of Good Manufacturing Practices where it was established that none of the stalls complied with the regulations; therefore, better control by the corresponding authorities is recommended in order to maintain food safety for the population.
