Grading of Fermented and Dried Cocoa Beans Using Fungal Contamination, Ergosterol Index and Ochratoxin a Production

Sixty four samples of cocoa beans replicated in quadruplicates were collected from five warehouses from southwest Nigeria and examined for fungal loads, ergosterol and ochratoxin A The levels of all the variables obtained were further used as indices for cocoa grading into food quality, FoQ (erg < 5 mg/kg; OTA < 1 µg/kg), feed quality, FeQ (erg = 5~10 mg/kg; OTA in the range of 1.1~3.11 µg/kg),...

Mycotoxin Contamination of Foodstuffs and Feedstuffs in Iran

Yeasts associated with dried-fruit beetles in figs.

A species of the bacterial genus Flavobacterium is capable of synthesizing a polysaccharide or mixture of polysaccharides when grown in a medium of a-conidendrin or vanillic acid as a sole carbon source. The polysaccharide hydrolysate consists of D-galactose, D-glucose, D-mannose, D-ribose and L-rhamnose as determined by paper chromatography. This organism has the unique characteristic of growi...
