RESUMO

Due to the high demand of milk base ice cream in the market and occasional milk intoxication, this work aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of vanilla and chocolate ice cream production, as well as its raw material, the milk. Comparisons of the media of Escherichia coli broth - EC (Difco 0314-01-0) and brilliant green bile lactose broth 2% - BGB (Difco 0007-01-2) were used in the confirmation test for fecal coliform counts. The sample microbiological analyses carried out were the counts of total and fecal coliforms, the examination for positive-coagulase Staphylococcus and Salmonella spp, all of them determined by the present brazilian legislation. Basing on the obtained results, the milk exceeded values in 58.3% and the ice cream in 19.4% of the samples analyzed for fecal coliforms using BGB and 70.8% and 30.6%, respectively using EC. Staphylococcus was detected in just one milk sample (4.2%) and two ice cream samples (5.6%) and for Salmonella, all of the samples presented absence of that microorganism. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the EC and BGB media comparisons.
