Higienização de Indústrias de Alimentos

Abstract

The development of the food industry in Brazil was affected in 1808 when the rulers established control over the development of forts in the country, however, in the early 20th century the food industry became quite representative in the national territory, corresponding to a significant amount of the industrial sector. In these technologies, hygiene and sanitization are of great importance, since in addition to affecting the quality of the final product, it will prevent contamination and also increase the lifespan of the products, reducing financial losses. The methodological procedure used in this research is a descriptive qualitative bibliographic review, since it is supported by a theoretical review. Once the research objectives were defined, the collection of information began based on the study of articles and theses, national and international, on the Google Scholar platform with the frequent use of words such as food, industry, cleaning and contamination, being the material selected according to its simplicity of reading and amount of information contained. Then, data collection was carried out based on the study of the chosen materials. In conclusion, it is imperative for the food industry to comply with legislation, regulations and ongoing processes for their equipment. These energies must also be compatible with the materials used in production and any dirt generated during production. This information is necessary to select the most suitable chemical products and to define hygiene methods and tools that correspond precisely to the needs and reality of the production lines. This ensures contamination-free food, preventing the formation of biofilms that can cause foodborne illness.
