Abstract :
Coalho cheese is a typical product of the Northeast region of Brazil, presenting significant importance in the economy of the nine states that make up this geographical area. This dairy concentrate of animal origin has cows milk as its raw material and, when it is artisanal produced, can transmit pathogenic microorganisms to the consumer. The aim of the present work is to propose the evaluation of the use of aqueous extract of Croton campestris leaves, against of microorganisms common to the milking environment and Coalho cheese production environment, such as the total and thermotolerant coliforms, Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, mold and yeast. All samples were not contaminated by Salmonella sp. However, it was possible to observe that the extract, in the different applied volumes, was able to promote the reduction of microbial loads for total and thermotolerant coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus and mold and yeasts. It is important to note that only for Staphylococcus aureus, the leaves aqueous extract of Velame managed to reduce the microbial load to the values below the limits established by RDC no. 12/2001 of the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA).
