| Summary: | It was evaluated the microbiological and chemical quality of lamb meat from two different sources
traded in the city of PresidentePrudente - SP. The work was developed in the Laboratory of Food
Analysis UNOESTE of the following microbiological parameters were evaluated: molds and yeasts,
Salmonella spp, Staphylococcus aureus and total and thermotolerant coliforms and chemical
analysis: protein, moisture, fixed mineral residue and ether extract of meat from Brazil and
Uruguay, sold at retail in the city of PresidentePrudente. The presence of Salmonella spp in the
sample proceeding from Uruguay and relatively large counts of total coliforms in both origins was
detected. These findings highlight the need for greater oversight in the processing and distribution
of food. The chemical analysis showed differences only for the fixed mineral (0.93% for meat from
Brazil and 2.35% for meat from Uruguay).
