Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The limiting relative humidity for aflatoxin production by A. flavus was 85 ± 1% for 21 days at 30C.
- Observation The limiting low temperature for visible growth and aflatoxin production was 13 ± 1C for 21 days.
- Observation Damaged kernels developed some aflatoxin after 21 days at 12C.
- Observation The maximum temperature for aflatoxin production was 41.5 ± 1.5C for 21 days.
- Intervention effect Fungal growth and sporulation at 43C were equal to those at 40C.
- Observation No aflatoxin was produced at 43C.
- Association Moisture content of immature kernels was higher at equilibrium with the same relative humidity than in sound mature, damaged or unshelled-peanut kernels.
- Association Aflatoxin was not produced without a simultaneous increase in free fatty acids.
