Résumé:
This study was carried out with the aim of monitoring the cleaning and disinfection system
adopted by the Sidi Saada dairy at the level of the camembert production unit.
To this end, microbiological analyzes are carried out on the waters of final rinse, The
microbiological analyzes consist in the search for FMTA and total and faecal coliforms. The
hygiene of personnel and the materials of the Camembert production line were checked. These
analyzes showed effective CIP cleaning with a virtual absence of microorganisms in the final
rinsing water and compliance with the recommended sodium and acid concentrations. The
analyzes carried out on the equipment showed contamination by total coliforms, especially at
the level of the mold blocks. For personal and environmental hygiene, analyzes have shown
that progress needs to be made at this level, since we observed the presence of total coliforms
even after cleaning the hands. For the environment, a strong development of mucor and yeast.
