CENTESIMAL COMPOSITION EVALUATION OF TOTAL CALORIC VALUE AND HYGIENIC-SANITARY CONDITIONS OF DEHYDRATED SOUPS AND POWDER USED IN THE PREPARATION FOR SCHOOL MEALS IN SÃO PAULO STATE (BRAZIL)

Abstract

It was analysed 232 samples, 100 of dehydrated soup and 132 of poweder for food preparation, frem 11 different producers, intended to use in the Scholars Meals Supply Program of the São Paulo State, during the years of 1989 and 1990. The analysis was for the centesimal composition determination, higiene microorganisms indicators, Salmonelas, S. aureus and B. cereus and for the total caloric values calculation. A significant number of samples was n discordance with the minimal standard padronization request by the "Fundação de Assistência ao Estudante- FAE", that belongs to the Education Ministry of Brazil, chiefly in respect to lipids and proteins, that not only waS tPflected more the total caloric values founded because the elevated quantitides of carbohydrates. The microbiological results do not showed a significant incidence of samples (1,29% of the total). The origin and procedence of moulds and coliforms (10² - 10³/_g) was considered not definite.
