RESUMO.O presente trabalho avaliou a composição físico-química e microbiológica de filés congelados de peixes regionais utilizados no cardápio das escolas da rede pública estadual de ensino. Foram analisadas 10 amostras de filés congelados referente às espécies Dourada (Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii), Mapará (Hypohythalmus spp.), Pirarara (Phractocephalus hemioliopterus), Piranambú (Pinirampus pirinampus) e Tucunaré (Cichla. spp.) obtidas no depósito da gerência de distribuição de merenda escolar da secretaria estadual de educação do Amazonas. Foram realizadas análises de umidade, proteínas, lipídios, cinzas e valor calórico, além de análises microbiológicas: coliformes totais e termotolerantes, Staphylococcus coagulase positiva, e presença/ausência de Escherichia coli e Salmonella spp. em 25g de alimento. Os resultados microbiológicos encontrados foram comparados com os padrões microbiológicos para pescado e produtos de pescado que constam na legislação brasileira. Os filés avaliados evidenciaram bons aspectos nutricionais e microbiológicos, encontrando-se dentro dos parâmetros exigidos pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA), estando aptos para o consumo da comunidade estudantil.

Physico-chemical and microbiological quality of frozen fish consumed in school lunch in the state of AmazonasABSTRACT. 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 Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii, 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.
