Abstract

Methods for the detection of low numbers of heat-resistant molds on fruits were studied by using cultures of Byssochlamys and a number of unidentified mold isolates. Ascospore dormancy had a marked effect on viable recoveries, and the medium in which ascospores were heated influenced activation rates. Best results were obtained when fruit homogenates were heated for 60 min at 70 C in Concord grape juice, followed by culturing on acidified Potato Dextrose Agar.
