Screening of Aspergillus And Aflatoxin From Arachis hypogaea

چکیده
This is a preliminary investigation of the incidence and aflatoxins in Arachis hypogaea. The survey was based on groundnut samples, collected from local market. Most dominating fungi was found to be A. flavus followed by Rhizopus sp, Mucor sp. It was found that A. flavus produce aflatoxin G .From this study, it was clear that heavy fungal load in groundnut was present, however further research is needed in this field.

Spatial Distribution of Aflatoxin in Growing Peanut
Aflatoxin is a carcinogenic toxin produced by the Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus fungi. This toxin is found in corn, cotton seeds, and peanuts and is consequently a major food safety issue. In this paper we report on a pilot study we conducted in Georgia, USA, to quantify the spatial distribution of aflatoxin in growing peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.).

This study was conducted to assess major Aspergillus species and aflatoxins associated with groundnut seeds and cake in Eastern Ethiopia and evaluate growers' management practices. A total of 160 groundnut seed samples from farmers' stores and 50 groundnut cake samples from cafe and restaurants were collected. Fungal isolation was done from groundnut seed samples. Aspergillus flavus was the dom...
متن کاملAflatoxin production in peanut varieties by Aspergillus flavus Link and Aspergillus parasiticus Speare.
Levels of aflatoxin produced in peanuts differed with the genetic variety of plant and with the species and strain of invading fungus. Possibilities for identifying groundnut varieties partially resistant to aflatoxin production are discussed.
متن کاملStrategies in Prevention of Preharvest Aflatoxin Contamination in Peanuts: Aflatoxin Biosynthesis, Genetics and Genomics
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), or groundnut, is an important crop economically and nutritionally in many tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is also one of the most susceptible host crops to Aspergillus flavus resulting in aflatoxin contamination. The prevention or elimination of aflatoxin contamination in preharvest and postharvest crops is a serious challenge facing scientists. The...
متن کاملSuppression of Aflatoxin Production in Aspergillus Species by Selected Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Stilbenoids.
Aspergillus flavus is a soil fungus that commonly invades peanut seeds and often produces carcinogenic aflatoxins. Under favorable conditions, the fungus-challenged peanut plant produces and accumulates resveratrol and its prenylated derivatives in response to such an invasion. These prenylated stilbenoids are considered peanut antifungal phytoalexins. However, the mechanism of peanut-fungus in...
