Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Aspergillus and Penicillium were the most frequently identified mycotoxigenic genera in chickpea seeds.
- Method / resource Fungal detection differed significantly among three isolation methods.
- Association Aspergillus and Penicillium colony counts were higher in organic chickpea samples.
- Observation Several fungal species identified in chickpea had not previously been reported there.
- Observation Potentially aflatoxigenic A. parasiticus was identified in chickpea.
- Observation Only A. parasiticus produced aflatoxin, and it was present in low amounts.
- Method / resource The qPCR protocol targeting omt-1 was a promising rapid tool for detecting potentially aflatoxigenic Aspergillus species.
- Recommendation Combined application of three isolation methods is proposed to enhance detection efficiency.
- Recommendation Chickpeas should be monitored for safety because potentially aflatoxigenic Aspergillus species were present.
