Abstract
Mould growth has detrimental effects on the quality of foods and may result in mycotoxin contamination. Mycoflora of date fruits collected from differ ent geographical regions of Andhra Pradesh, India was analyzed. The pattern of distribution of fungal population was different both in quality and qua ntity on different date fruit samples. Species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium were dominant mycotoxigenic fungi. The percentage of toxigenic ity not only varied with the fungus but also with the sample and geographic al conditions.
