O aumento no consumo de plantas medicinais vem se transformando em problema de Saúde Pública, devido ao potencial de contaminação microbiana, principalmente por origem natural e condições inadequadas de uso e armazenamento. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a descontaminação fúngica de camomila [Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert] através de diferentes processos caseiros (decocção, infusão, água morna). Foram analisadas 10 amostras de camomila, procedentes de diferentes estabelecimentos comerciais. Os resultados das análises microbiológicas indicaram redução da contaminação fúngica na maioria das amostras, porém não atingindo os índices considerados satisfatórios, o que evidencia a necessidade de medidas regulatórias e educacionais que garantam a qualidade destes produtos, desde a produção até a colheita.The increase in the consumption of medicinal plants has become a Public Health problem due to potential microbiological contamination, especially due to their natural origin and inadequate conditions of use and storage. The present study aimed to evaluate the fungal decontamination of chamomile [Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert] through different home procedures (decoction, infusion, warm water). Ten chamomile samples from different commercial establishments were analyzed. The results of microbiological analyses indicated a reduction in fungal contamination in most samples which, however, did not reach the indexes considered satisfactory, evidencing the need of regulatory and educational measures to guarantee the quality of these products, from production to harvest.
