摘要

This paper reports the contamination of ready-to-use food thickeners, collected from the South-East geo-political zone in Nigeria, by aflatoxigenic form ofAspergillus?species. A total of 150 samples from different open markets were observed for fungal contamination by using serial dilution-spread plate method. Although,?Aspergillus, Fusarium?and?Penicillium?were the most frequently isolated fungi,?Aspergillus?species were found to be the most prevalent in all the samples. Furthermore,?Aspergillus flavus?and?Aspergillus parasiticus?produced aflatoxin on yeast extract sucrose (YES) media incubated for 10 to 15 days at 27°C in a CO2incubator.?Aspergillus niger?showed no sign of any secondary metabolite on the media, set at similar conditions. Although, light microscopy was used to identify these fungi, based on colony morphology, PCR method was used to confirm genetic variation among the?Aspergillus?group, using ITS set of primers. Gel electrophoresis of PCR products confirmed the presence of?Aspergillus?species at an amplification range from 500 to 600 bp in all the samples tested. PCR was found to be a sensitive and a more reliable tool for detection and identification ofAspergillus?species in food thickeners as opposed to conventional light microscopy. This is a first kind of mycological survey on the contamination of ready-to-use food thickeners sold in Nigeria.
