Interactive Inhibition of Aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus and Ochratoxigenic Aspergillus carbonarius by Aspergillus oryzae under Fluctuating Temperatures

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of A. oryzae in inhibiting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) production by flavus carbonarius, respectively, under shifting temperatures. was tested on different agar, namely coconut cream agar (CCA) chili-based figure out variation most appropriate medium for carbonarius produce mycotoxin natural condition where they are predominantly found. On CCA, temperatures applied were 20, 30, 35, 40, 20/30, 20/35, 20/40 °C, while imposed at varied water activity 0.92 0.97aw. The findings indicated that much more effective growth rather than yet it able inhibit higher OTA concentration AFB1 fluctuating CCA as carbonarius. effectively inhibited static temperature 20 °C 0.97aw agar. Under (20/40 °C), also control mycotoxin, particularly high (0.97aw).
