An attempt to model the probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 production of Aspergillus flavus under non-isothermal conditions in pistachio nuts
Aldars García, Laila; Ramos Girona, Antonio J.; Sanchís Almenar, Vicente; Marín Sillué, Sònia (Elsevier, 2015)Human exposure to aflatoxins in foods is of great concern. The aim of this work was to use predictive mycology as a strategy to mitigate the aflatoxin burden in pistachio nuts postharvest. The probability of growth and ... -
Assessment of intraspecies variability in fungal growth initiation of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin B1 production under static and changing temperature levels using different initial conidial inoculum levels
Aldars García, Laila; Marín Sillué, Sònia; Sanchís Almenar, Vicente; Magan, Naresh; Medina, Angel (Elsevier, 2018)Intraspecies variability in fungal growth and mycotoxin production has important implications for food safety. Using the Bioscreen C we have examined spectrophotometrically intraspecies variability of A. flavus using 10 ... -
Modeling postharvest mycotoxins in foods: recent research
Aldars García, Laila; Ramos Girona, Antonio J.; Sanchís Almenar, Vicente; Marín Sillué, Sònia (Elsevier, 2016)Available information on the prediction of postharvest production of mycotoxins in recent years is reviewed. Predictive mycology has been focused mainly on fungal growth whereas studies on prediction of mycotoxins in foods ... -
Modelling the Probability of Growth and Aflatoxin B1 Production of Aspergillus Flavus under Changing Temperature Conditions in Pistachio Nuts
Aldars García, Laila; Ramos Girona, Antonio J.; Sanchís Almenar, Vicente; Marín Sillué, Sònia (Elsevier, 2016)The aim of this work was to use probability models for the prediction of growth and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus flavus as a strategy to mitigate the aflatoxin presence in pistachio nuts during postharvest. Logistic ... -
Probability models for growth and aflatoxin B1 production as affected by intraspecies variability in Aspergillus flavus
Aldars García, Laila; Berman, María; Ortiz Solà, Jordi; Ramos Girona, Antonio J.; Marín Sillué, Sònia (Elsevier, 2018)The probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production of 20 isolates of Aspergillus flavus were studied using a full factorial design with eight water activity levels (0.84e0.98 aw) and six temperature levels (15e40 ... -
Single vs multiple-spore inoculum effect on growth kinetic parameters and modeled probabilities of growth and aflatoxin B1 production of Aspergillus flavus on pistachio extract agar
Aldars García, Laila; Sanchís Almenar, Vicente; Ramos Girona, Antonio J.; Marín Sillué, Sònia (Elsevier, 2017)The objective of the present study was to assess the differences in modeled growth/AFB1 production probability and kinetic growth parameters for Aspergillus flavus inoculated as single spores or in a concentrated ... -
Time-course of germination, initiation of mycelium proliferation and probability of visible growth and detectable AFB1 production of an isolate of Aspergillus flavus on pistachio extract agar
Aldars García, Laila; Sanchís Almenar, Vicente; Ramos Girona, Antonio J.; Marín Sillué, Sònia (Elsevier, 2017)The aim of this work was to assess the temporal relationship among quantified germination, mycelial growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production from colonies coming from single spores, in order to find the best way to predict ...
