Abstract
Sound, mature peanut kernels grown in Mexico were examined for aflatoxin contamination previous to the normal harvest date and following storage. Peanut kernels were free of aflatoxins before harvesting but traces to high levels were found in stored peanuts. Fusarium spp. were more prevalent in kernels at harvest; however, following storage, fungi of the Aspergillus glaucus group were more commonly isolated.
