摘要：The microbiological quality of 15 vegetables and 15 fruits minimally processed samples
marketed in Fortaleza - CE (Brazil) was evaluated. The following analyses were
carried out: total and fecal coliforms, Salmonella sp., total yeasts and moulds count,
coagulase positive Staphylococcus count and total psychrotrophics count. Salmonella
was detected in 66.6% of vegetable samples and 26% of fruit samples. Fecal coliforms
count higher than legislation limit, it was verified in 13.3% of vegetable samples. High
counts of total coliforms, yeasts and moulds and psychrotrophics were also found on
both products, showing inadequate hygiene conditions during manufacturing, affecting
storage and microbiological quality of minimally processed fruits and vegetables.
