Verificação do controle de qualidade em indústrias que exportam lagosta no Estado de Pernambuco

Abstract

The lobster fishery is a large economic impact in terms of exports to Brazil, the Northeast's leading producer of crayfish, with fishing for lobsters of the genus Panulirus spp. that stands out for its high commercial value. To meet the demands of the market companies are deploying the system Prevention and Control, based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points-HACCP. This study aimed to verify the quality control in industries that export two lobsters in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. We applied an ckeck list of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) HACCP plan review located and investigating microbiological analysis of lobsters. The check list resulted in adequate percentages of greater than 96% for both industries, and the representation of non-slide up to 2.58% and 3.23% respectively for industries A and B, observed only in module buildings and facilities. The HACCP plan in place to three presentations of lobster identifies two critical control points in the processing of lobster tail frozen lobster frozen whole, and three for the whole lobster cooked frozen. Microbiological tests were within the legal standard of reference for this type of food. We conclude that the industries under study perform quality control processing of lobster suited to current standards and is effective for ensuring safe food.
