Among the micotoxins, the aflatoxins are the most important and more studied. The corn and its derived, especially the maize flour is among the main foods found in the basic diet of the Brazilians, particularly in Bahia. There are few studies in the State on the micotoxins research in foods derived from the corn. The presence of toxigens molds in maize flour is not necessarily configured in the presence of micotoxins, but it represents an alert for a larger attention to the agricultural practices, so much in the choice of the grain for the planting, in the harvest, in the transportation, in the processing, in the storage, as in the commercialization of this product. The molds more frequently isolated in derived of the corn they are the Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp. and Fusarium spp. The aflatoxina B1 (AFB1) it is a potent carcinogen classified as belonging to the group 1 of the substances potentially cancerous. The consumption of flocked maize flour pre-cooked with characteristics undesirable micotoxicologics can be a danger for the human health. Foccus on the importance of the toxigens molds and the micotoxins, this work had for objective to verify the occurrence of toxigen molds and aflatoxins in 112 samples of maize flour pre-cooked flocked trade in different cities in the State of Bahia from June 2007 to June 2008. The studied samples were analyzed for isolation and counting of molds in BDA with chloranfenicol. 32% of the samples were positive for toxigen molds, being 50% acted by storage molds, 31% of field and 17% of both. The molds of the gender Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium were found more frequently in the samples that presented water activity between 0,52-0,60. 58% of the samples with mold contamination were conditioned in packaging. In relation to the aflatoxins presence, 14% (16/112) of the samples they were positive, where 5% (6/112) they presented concentrations above the maximum limit recommened by the Legislation (20 g/Kg). The molds of the gender Aspergillus were presented in 44,4% (16/36) of the analyzed samples. From this gender were isolated and identified three species: A. fumigatus 27,8% (10/36), A. flavus 22,2% (8/36) and A. terreus 2,8% (1/36). The analysis of the potential toxigen of 28 isolated of Aspergillus spp. revealed the aflatoxins presence in 50% (14/28) of the stumps, in a concentration of 24,29 µg/Kg to 6.222 µg/Kg, demonstrating that such stumps in favorable conditions of humidity and temperature in the substratum eventually produce aflatoxins.

The study was carried out in two steps: first, through interviews with the use of a self-administered questionnaire with 237 handlers, and the second step, to investigate the presence of methicillinresistant coagulase positive staphylococci in the hands and in the nares of 140 handlers. This study is structured into three chapters: The first presents a literature review with matters relevant to the research, the second, an article on assessing the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of food handlers and the third, an article investigating the presence of methicillin-resistant coagulase positive staphylococci (MRSA) in the hands and nares of food handlers and also the in vitro tests to check the sensitivity of these strains to antiseptics, alcohol gel 70%, iodine 10% and chlorhexidine 2%, commonly used for hand hygiene. The results showed low level of knowledge for most participants (65.8%), although 92.8% said they participated in training. Regarding the attitudes and practices, the percentage of correct answers were 98.3% and 73.4%, respectively. Three models were developed with the independent variables and were observed that education level interfered with the knowledge of food handlers. In the investigating of the presence of MRSA in the hands and nares, although 100% of the foodhandlers had informed that they sanitized their hands on the preparation and distribution of foods, we found 50% of the samples with coagulase positive staphylococci and 28.6% with MRSA. The MRSA strains were more sensitive to chlorhexidine 2% in comparison with other antiseptics. Thus, it can be concluded that the level of knowledge of food handlers in food safety is low, so it is necessary to reevaluate the ways of training of food handlers. In other side, the use of antiseptics in hand washing is essential to avoid contamination of hospital preparations. However, only the use of good antiseptics will not be sufficient if this practice is neglected by the foodhandlers, or if the hospitals do not provide the resources needed to conduct the practice.

In this case, it needs the addition of lactic culture and so that, the product comes out with differing sensorial characteristics. The objective of this work was to evaluate the coalho cheese quality, produced by adding lactic culture endogen using coalho cheese. The objective of this work was to evaluate the coalho cheese quality produced by adding endogen lactic culture utilizing the Quantities Descriptive Analysis (QDA), test of acceptability and analysis of some physical-chemical parameters. It was utilized three lactic cultures: LA-02 (Lactobacillus acidophilus); RE-02 (Lactococcus ssp) and Blend (Lactococcus ssp + Lactobacillus acidophilus). The team of QDA was with eleven people to judge it. The acceptability utilized fifty consumers previously selected by a questionnaire. The physical-chemical parameters evaluated were: humidity, ashes, base dried fat, proteins, ph, acidity and cloret. The cheese acceptability produced by LA-02 and Blend presented the highest results to the attributes flavor, 7.38 and 6.92, respectively. By the QDA were considered 13 describing terms to coalho cheese. The display of Blend was characterized by its yellow color, hardness, typical coalho cheese smell, typical coalho cheese flavor, consistency and chewing. The cheese produced by LA-02 was characterized by its acid flavor, homogeneity and softness. The three displays evaluated presented values of humidity and fat according to the legislation exigency. The LA-02 and Blend cultures were the ones which better developed the coalho cheese characteristics.
