Análise do processo produtivo de derivados da cana-de-açúcar e aplicação de ferramentas da qualidade a fim de propor ações para redução da contaminação por bactérias sulfito redutoras

Abstract

Brazil is the largest producer of sugarcane in the world, which allows for annual production of approximately half a billion tons. All this production volume of raw materials provides the sugar and alcohol sector with a high share of the country's productive economy. This economic weight drives high financial investment in scientific advances in the field, in search of greater monetization and applicability. With the emergence of these new technological perspectives, the production process arises from the fermentation of yeast and by-products of production derived from sugar cane for the food sector. As these are routes based on live microorganisms, the risk of microbiological contamination is high. Thus, the present work seeks to indicate proposals for reducing sulfite-reducing bacteria in sugarcane-based foods, through a Systematic Bibliographic Review and the Ishikawa principles, in an industry located in the interior of the state of São Paulo.
