“…Similar data were also reported for fruit pulps marketed in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Insect fragments were detected in pulps of guava (84%), strawberry (78%), tomato (61%) and mango (38%), whereas rodent hair was observed in pulps of tomato (24%), guava (3%), strawberry (1%) and mango (0.5%) (Atui et al, 2014).…”

“…Rodent hair is often found in tomato processed products. The prevalence of this extraneous matter may be associated with cultivation (open field planting), mechanical harvesting (deep harvesting and with residues), spraying with pesticides that hinders the removal of hair attached to the epidermis of the fruit, among other factors (Moretti, 2008;Atui et al, 2014).…”

Despite being a staple in the daily diet of the Brazilian population, industrialized tomatoes and their derivatives are often subject to countless contaminants during their production process, which may affect the final quality of these products. This study aimed to investigate the microbiological quality and the presence of extraneous matter in industrialized tomato sauces commercialized in Brazil. To this end, two samples of 21 different “traditional tomato sauce” brands (a total of 42 samples) commercialized in supermarkets in the municipality of Bauru, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, were analyzed from April to November 2016. Overall, 20 (47.6%) of the 42 samples analyzed were in disagreement with the current Brazilian legislation. After incubation at 35 to 37 °C and 55 °C, no changes in the packages and pH variation >0.2 were observed. However, 9.5% of the samples showed a non-characteristic aspect and 11.9% presented growth of fungi. Regarding the presence of extraneous matter, 11.9% of the samples showed rodent hair above the permitted limit (1 in 100 g) - indicative of risks to human health, whereas 26.2% of them contained non-rodent hair - indicative of failure in adopting good manufacturing practices. Mold filament counting was conducted using the Howard method, and 14.3% of the samples presented values above 40% (acceptable limit) positive microscopic fields. In addition to subsidizing health surveillance actions, such data highlight the need for quality improvement of the raw material used and greater control during the processing of these products.

“…A utilização de pós inertes, técnica utilizada pelos agricultores de subsistência antes do advento dos inseticidas sintéticos, tem ressurgido como uma alternativa importante e promissora no controle de insetos-praga em grãos armazenados (Shah & Khan, 2014). A terra de diatomácea (sedimento de carapaças de algas diatomáceas) é o pó inerte mais estudado, sendo utilizado para o controle de insetos de grãos armazenados em vários países como Austrália, Canadá e Estados Unidos (Atui et al, 2003). No Brasil, há formulações disponíveis comercialmente com eficácia reportada sobre diferentes espécies de insetos-praga incidentes em condições tropicais (Cerutti & Lazzari, 2005;Marsaro Júnior et al, 2007;Ribeiro et al, 2008;Ribeiro et al, 2018).…”

A integração de estratégias é uma prática essencial para se obter sucesso no controle de insetos-praga, configurando-se na base de qualquer programa de manejo integrado de pragas (MIP). Diante desse contexto, a combinação de pós inertes com inseticidas naturais pode se configurar em uma estratégia interessante para potencializar a ação inseticida, por meio de possíveis efeitos aditivos ou sinérgicos. Considerando esses aspectos, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a associação de extratos orgânicos brutos de sementes de anonáceas (Annona mucosa Jacq. e Annona montana Macfad.) com terra de diatomácea no controle de Sitophilus zeamais Mots. (Coleoptera: Curculionidade), em milho armazenado. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que, de modo geral, a utilização conjunta de terra de diatomácea e extratos de sementes de A. mucosa, em hexano, e de A. montana, em diclorometano, independentemente da concentração utilizada, ocasionam efeitos inseticidas ou protetores de grãos equivalentes ou mesmo inferiores em comparação ao emprego desses tratamentos isoladamente, o que demonstra efeito antagônico entre as duas técnicas.
