%X with the aim to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of uht milk commercialized in three countries of mercosul, samples of four different brands were acquired in each city (foz do igua£¿u - brazil, puerto iguaz¨² - argentina and ciudad del este - paraguay) and submitted to the following analysis: fat content, titratable acidity, milk ethanol stability (with the following ethanol concentrations: 68, 72, 76 and 80%), total dry extract and no fat dry extract, ph, density and freezing point. counts of mesophilic and psychrotrophic microorganisms were already done. in the physico-chemical evaluation of uht milk, a significant number of samples were in disagree with the established patterns for fat content, no fat dry extract, density and freezing point. except one brand from brazil, milk samples showed stability to 68% ethanol. ph averages of brazilian milk were in agree with the patterns and highest values were observed in samples acquired on paraguay. observing the microbiological analysis, 37.5%, 62.5% and 12.5% of samples acquired from brazil, argentina and paraguay, respectively, showed counts above the established patterns for mesophilic microorganisms. counts of psychrotrophic microorganisms were in disagree with the established patterns in 50%, 50% and 100% of samples from brazil, argentina and paraguay, respectively.
