Detection of Mycotoxins from the ground nuts samples of Warangal District, Telangana State

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to conduct survey on ground nut fields and to detect the mycotoxin producing fungi and variety of mycotoxin. All the samples were collected from various systems such as freshly harvested groundnuts (FHG), farmer storage systems (FSS), wholesalers sample (WS), retailer (RS) from different regions of Warangal District. The study includes the screening of moisture content (m.c.) of the samples, mycological analysis, identification of the fungal genera, aflatoxin extraction and analysis by ELISA. The m.c. of samples collected during wet season from different storage systems ranges between 10.1 – 23.6. The freshly harvested ground samples exhibited highest m.c. percentage with 23.6%. Aspergillus spp. Fusarium sp., Cladospoium sp., Penicillium spp., Rhizopus stolonifer and yeasts are identified from samples collected. The total enumerated of isolated fungi from the collections as (89×10 3 ) CFU. High fungal contamination was observed with the sample kadiri-2(MK-374) The aflotoxin extraction using ELISA showed that Kadiri-2 (MK-374) resulted in high 8.2, ppb aflatoxin content
