The ability of date extracts to support the production of aflatoxins.

Aqueous extracts of the fruit of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) are used widely in the Middle East, and they are often stored at high ambient temperatures and in vessels of dubious hygienic standards.  The levels of aflatoxin generated in experimental extracts depended upon the sugar content (glucose and fructose) of the solution, but extracts from all the varieties of dates tested were able to support mycelial growth and aflatoxin production.
