| Abstract | ||
| The aimed to evaluate the extent of contamination of fresh grape, dried grape fruits (raisin) with molds and their mycotoxins. Three hundred and forty five fungal isolates were obtained from 40 samples of fresh fruits (243 isolates) and 30 samples of dried fruits (102 isolates). Twelve fungal genera namely, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Curvularia, Emericella, Fusarium, Geotricum, Gibberella, Mocur, Pinicillum, Rhizopus and Trichoderma were identified from fresh grape samples. All the previous fungal genera except Geotricum and Gibberella were also isolated from dried grape samples.Aspergillus was the most predominant genus followed by Penicillum, Alternaria and Fusarium.
