Abstract
Introduction. Suero costeño is an autochthonous
product from the Colombian Caribbean region, and
it is obtained by naturally fermenting raw milk, so
it keeps all of its nutritional ingredients. Objective.
Determine and compare the physical/chemical and
microbiological characteristics of the milk and of the
suero costeño from Arjona, Turbaco and Carmen
de Bolivar. Materials and methods. The physical/
chemical and microbiological characteristics of the
milk and of the suero costeño were determined and
compared according to what is established by the
Colombian regulations. Results. The cryoscopic
index of the milks produced in Turbaco, Arjona and
Carmen de Bolivar does not meet the regulations,
while the microbiological tests are within the ranks
allowed. The sueros costeños from Carmen de Bolivar,
Arjona and Turbaco contain Escherichia coli, fecal
Coliforms and Staphylococcus aureus coagulase
above the levels allowed. The suero costeño produced
industrially meets the microbiological and physical/
chemical quality standards demanded by the
regulations. Conclusion. The high microbial load
contained in not industrially produced sueros costeños
is a consequence of the deficient hygienic and
sanitary conditions under which they are produced in
the aforementioned towns.
