RESUMO

Milk pasteurization is mandatory in Brazil and the Low Temperature Long Time - LTLT - Pasteurization (62 to 65°C/30 min.) is normally used for cheese making. Permitted parameters were based on the reports of Myconbacterium bovis/tuberculosis inactivation made up to that time. Since then, just a few studies have been done to determine if the M. bovis in circulation nowadays among bovine population still presents the same pattern of inactivation. In this way, this study verified the behavior of recently isolated M. bovis against LTLT Pasteurization parameters reproduced in water bath. M. bovis isolated from bovines slaughtered in São Paulo State, Brazil. When milk reached 65°C the 0 tube was removed and refrigerated while the others taken out after 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes and cooled. For controlling heat treatment a thermometer was adapted to one tube with 5 ml each of raw milk which were submitted together to heat treatment and used for analysis of peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase enzymes after 30 minutes of heat treatment. Milk samples were submitted to serial decimal dilution in peptone water (0.1%) and inoculated in the Stonebrink-Leslie media. After 45 days at 37°C, colonies were counted and the result expressed in CFU/ml. The results showed that heating phase determined more inactivation than the holding phase. The resentence was different between the spoligotypes that simulated the low pasteurization and BR024 was more resentence. The results enable us to speculate that in the worst scenario of natural contamination of the milk.
