Abstract

The present work evaluated the physical-chemical and microbiological composition of frozen fish fillets of regional fish used in the menu of the schools of the state public school system. Ten samples of frozen fillets Brachyplathystoma rousseaxii, Hypohythalmus spp., Phractocephalus hemioliopterus, Pinirampus pirinampus and Cichla spp. Were collected from the Distribution Management warehouse of School Lunch from the State Department of Education of Amazonas. Moisture, protein, lipids, ashes and calorific values were analyzed, as well as microbiological analyzes: total and thermotolerant coliforms, coagulase positive Staphylococcus, and presence / absence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. in 25g of food. The microbiological results were compared with the microbiological standards for fish and fish products that are included in the Brazilian legislation. The evaluated fillets showed good nutritional and microbiological aspects, being within the parameters demanded by the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA), being classified as suitable for the consumption of the student community.
