title: Production of ochratoxin a, citrinin, and ergosterol byPenicillium viridicatum in autoclaved and non-autoclaved wheat at low temperature.
abstract: Wheat (moisture content: 26%) was autoclaved or left untreated, inoculated with conidia ofPenicillium viridicatum and stored at 10°C. The fungus grew on both substrates and was the dominant mould on the non-autoclaved grain. Autoclaving resulted in an earlier onset of ergosterol, ochratoxin A, and citrinin production due to accelerated mould growth. Yield of ochratoxin A increased while citrinin slightly decreased in autoclaved wheat.
