“…Homeopathic products are manufactured by dynamization, which consists of dilutions by sequential stirrings in small volumes and has applications to both human and animal diets (Adler et al, 2011). Animal homeopathy is a science applied in several areas (Fisher, 2012), being ideal due to its low cost, efficiency and absence of toxicity. The use of extremely diluted active ingredients ensures no residues in meat and contamination in water and soil.…”

Current assay evaluates the physical, chemical and microbiological quality of fillets and mechanically separated meat (MSM) plus the sensory aspects of fillets of the Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) treated with Homeopatila 100 ®. The moisture, fixed mineral residue, lipid, crude protein, pH, color, water activity (Aw), Staphylococcus coagulase, coliforms were reported at 45°C. Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., counting viable aerobic mesophilic and psychrotrophic amounts of the fillets and MSM were determined. Acceptance, intention test and shear force of fillets also were performed. The fillets examined by softer tissue (6.08 N ± 0.04), lower Aw (0.990 ± 0.001), less total amounts of psychrotropic aerobic bacteria (2.12 ± 0.01 Log 10 UFC/g) and by low component value of colour. L* (luminosity) (65.78 ± 0.37) and a* (red/green) (1.50 ± 0.01) for MSM and of high value of b* (yellow/blue) for MSM (13.54 ± 0.11) and fillets (4.93 ± 0.03) sensory acceptability was 80.11%. The colours of fillet and MSM were related to the results of fish stressed prior to slaughter. The results indicated that the use of Homeopatila 100 ® in the diet of the Nile Tilapia did not change the muscle quality and the sensory acceptability.
