Armazenamento e estocagem do ovo para não haver contaminação por Salmonella

Abstract

Egg storage and storage is a very important process due to its easy contamination by salmonella. This bacterium is found in the intestines of birds, which in turn causes contamination of the egg while it is still forming. So, when eggs contaminated by this bacterium, which may be present in the shell due to poor storage, are ingested, a foodborne disease (DTA) occurs, called Salmonellosis, a foodborne infection (Cardoso; Oak, 2006). In this way, the organism reacts according to the amount of food that has been contaminated and ingested, altering the intensity of symptoms, such as diarrhea, typhoid fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, chills and headache, which have already been shown to be the most prevalent in population. Therefore, doing the storage and storage correctly is of utmost importance. It is oriented towards preventing the quality and duration of eggs, storing them under refrigeration, and keeping them in trays with plastic film to maintain their internal quality, thus reducing the chances of contamination by salmonella (Xavier; Shinohara, 2008; 2006). ).
