Amaranth grain as substrate for aflatoxin and zearalenone production at different water activity levels
The influence of water activity (a(w)) on the kinetics of aflatoxin and zearalenone production in amaranth grains at 25°C was studied. Minimum a(w) for aflatoxin production in this substrate was 0.825. Accumulation of the four aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) was similar at a(w) 0.825 (maximum 81.2 μg...
