Contaminación Enterobacteriana del Guarapo de una Fábrica de Cochabamba, en Fermentación Normal y Fermentación Flemosa

Abstract

The cane juice is an alcoholic beverage that follows the route of fermentation and diverted the same results in consistency guarapo phlegmy. The presence of Enterobacteriaceae (enteric coliforms and E. coli) are indicators of pollution and are linked to the typhoid groups - paratyphoid. The research objective was to determine the contamination present in the juice enterobacteriana in normal fermentation and fermentation phlegmy consistency in samples collected from a factory in the province Cercado - Cochabamba. A study of cross-sectional and descriptive sample taking into account 9 phlegmy consistency of juice and a sample of juice in normal fermentation chosen at random during the study period established. We found 100% of fecal coliform in the samples two, three and five, there contamination of gravity between 20,000 to 2,640,000 CFU / ml exceeding the normal parameter <10 CFU / ml, possibly caused by the low quality control and sanitation.
