Abstract

In the presente work, the fungal florae of 102 peanut samples have been analyzed afier their isolation and identification. Moreover it has been studied the influence of the pod and the type of treatment given to the grain during the period from harvesting till it gets to consumer, on the mycoflorae contents in the grain. The fungi present in the peanut sarnples belong mainly to the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium followed by the Mucorales; Fusarium and several Yeasts. It seems that the podded samples, as well as those that have received any kind of heating treatment, show the lowet fungal contents. A total of 387 strains of Aspergillus flavus have been isolated, 79 of which (corresponding to a 20.4% of the strains), had aflatoxin producing capability in laboratory conditions.
