Notes:
Aflatoxin production was observed in the 2 kg lots of peanuts and corn that were stored for 90 days at ambient temperature (28–30°C) and a relative humidity of 100% after infecting with the spores of aflatoxin producing strain Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 3145. Treatment of the samples with an aqueous solution of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid prevented aflatoxin formation in both the commodities, whereas, the untreated lots supported aflatoxin formation.
