Contamination of foods by fungi and subsequent synthesis of mycotoxins in situ is a global
menace. This is attributed to biotic and abiotic factors. There are several reported incidences …

Mycotoxigenic fungi can infect and produce potent mycotoxins in foodstuffs prior to harvest,
during harvest (field fungi), and in storage after harvest (storage fungi), which when …
