Comparison of dry matter losses and aflatoxin B1 contamination of paddy and brown rice stored naturally or after inoculation with Aspergillus flavus at different environmental conditions
The objective of this study was to compare the effect of different storage moisture conditions (0.70, 0.85, 0.90 and 0.95 water activity, aw) and temperatures (20, 25, 30 °C) on (a) respiration rates (R) and dry matter loss (DML) of paddy and brown rice and (b) quantify aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) productio...
