To analyze the effects on feeding in conventional and organic cultures, on growth, chemical composition, hematological parameters, plasma antioxidant capacity, hormonal balance, and immune status of male Wistar rats. |
The levels of flavonol, polyphenol, and lutein were higher in organic foods. Hemoglobin content, plasma oxidizing capacity, hormonal balance were also higher in rats fed with organic cultures. The rats fed with conventional cultures showed greater body fat and an imbalance of the immune system. |

To evaluate in lettuces, from conventional and organic crops, two cleaning processes: the traditional and the proposed test method, using a specific detergent for vegetables and coliforms determinations at 45 ° C (thermotolerant) and Salmonella sp. |
Conventional samples showed greater contamination of coliforms at 45 ° C than organic samples. Conventional and organic samples washed with detergent had a significant reduction in the thermotolerant coliform count of approximately 50%. |
