. Calorific losses in maize in relation to colonisation by isolates of Aspergillus ochraceus under different environmental conditions.

The effect of water activity (aw), temperature and incubation period on growth and calorific losses in relation to colonisation by three mycotoxigenic isolates of Aspergillus ochraceus was studied on maize based substrates.  The calorific losses (kJ) of maize flour due to fungal growth in relation to temperature and aw were quantified and found to be maximal (10.5-16.2%) at 20-30°C after 4 weeks at 0.95 aw, with only slight losses (0-7.1%) at 0.85 aw at both 15 and 20°C.
