Effect of water activity and temperature on growth of ochratoxigenic strains of Aspergillus carbonarius isolated from Argentinean dried vine fruits
Aspergillus carbonarius is an ochratoxin A (OTA) producing fungus, predominantly responsible for the production of this mycotoxin in grapes, wine and dried vine fruits. The objective of this study was to determine the in vitro effects of water activity (aw, 0.80-0.95) and temperature (15-35 °C) on l...
