Abstract

In the period of July through September 1998, it was evaluated the microbiological and microscopic quality of samples of Euterpe oleracea Mart., obtained from local merchants sponsored by the State Government, in the city of Macapá, Brazil. The results showed that 77.8% and 100% of the samples presented fecal coliforms, and moulds and yeast, respectively, in levels above the limits established by Federal Legislation. It was concluded that the fruit samples commercialized in the city of Macapá presented, under the sanitary point of view, unsatisfactory hygienic-sanitary conditions.
