Boas práticas de fabricação e análises físico-químicas e microbiológicas de água natural em uma indústria de água natural no município de São José de Ribamar - MA

Abstract

Significant consumption of bottled water in our country has increased considerably each year, mainly due to the increase in population, a shortage of drinking water, and because these are safe sources of consumption associated with a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, the present study aimed is to evaluate the conditions of good manufacturing practices of a natural water industry in the municipality of São José de Ribamar - MA, through resolution RDC nº 173, dated september 13, 2006, which provides for the Technical Regulation of Good Practices for Industrialization and Commercialization of Natural Mineral Water and Natural Water in addition to the Checklist of Good Practices for Industrialization and Commercialization of Natural Mineral Water and Natural Water. Physicochemical and microbiological analyzes were performed using the Colilert® rapid test for total coliform and E. coli. The evaluated natural water industry was classified as low risk, that is to say, it accounted for 100% of POP items, as well as for attending between 76 and 100% to the other items considered in the checklist evaluation. Regarding the physical-chemical and microbiological analyzes, they presented within normality going according to the parameters established by the Brazilian legislation in force.
