Abstract
The influence of water activity on the production of B 1, B 2, G 1 and G 2 aflatoxins in corn has been examined. Viable corn kernels were conditioned at three water activity levels (0.87, 0.90 and 0.97) and inoculated with Aspergillus parasiticus at 30° C. Aflatoxin accumulation was determined at selected times by thin-layer chromatography. For the strain used total aflatoxin accumulation was greater at water activity 0.90 than at 0.87 and 0.97 for the incubation times studied.
