RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Cheese is a solid or semi-solid food product resulting from the concentration of a large
part of milk solids through coagulation. It is known that it is a mixture of protein, fat and other dairy
components; however, its microbiological quality is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study
was to perform a microbiological analysis of double cream cheese and peasant cheeses marketed in
Tunja for human consumption and thus evaluate their microbiological quality. For this, the presence of
total and fecal coliforms, and molds and yeasts were studied, using the methodology standardized by
the technique of multiple fermentation tubes using the NMP / g and plate count per surface seeding of
CFU / g respectively. We also applied a plaque count methodology of Staphylococcus aureus coagulase
positive microorganisms and the Presence-Absence method for Salmonella spp. The results and
discussion made allowed establishing that the products are not suitable for human consumption
according to MS. Res. 01804/89 dictated by INVIMA since they presented counts of colony forming
units larger than the norm stipulates.
