RESUMO

The thermal resistance of microorganisms is influenced by the agent in question, the initial microbial load and the characteristics of the substrate that can exert a protective effect on the cell, for example, the fat content. The pasteurization of whipping cream aims to eliminate pathogen microorganisms that may occasionally be present in milk. However, there is no standard in the law of time and temperature for this product, making it necessary more detailed study to consider the specific feature of thermal resistance of microorganisms at different temperatures for pasteurization, especially considering the high fat product. Mycobacterium spp is considered the pathogen spore-non-forming of higher heat resistance that can be transmitted by milk, among species, M.bovis is the most pathogenic. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the inactivation of Mycobacterium bovis (spoligotype BR024) in fresh whipping cream subjected to some parameters of commercial pasteurization. Whipping cream was contaminated and pasteurized in a water bath at 75°C, 80°C, 85°C and 90°C for 5 and 15 seconds. The agent was measured in duplicate in the middle Stonebrink after incubation at 36°C/45 days. The reduction in the population ranged from 3.9 log CFU / mL up to 6.8 log CFU/ mL which shows that under the conditions of the study, all binomials studied were able to reduce the contaminant load to such low levels or lower than 0.1 log CFU / ml, the maximum initial natural contamination of milk by M. bovis (4 log CFU / mL), according to Ball (1943)
