Fungal contamination and mycotoxin detection of powdered herbal drugs
Appl Environ Microbiol.
1978 Aug.
Abstract
Forty-nine powdered herbal drugs were analyzed for their mold profile and for the potential presence of three mycotoxins (aflatoxin, sterigmatocystin, ochratoxin A). Aspergillus and Penicillium species were predominant, but Rhizopus, Mucor, Cladosporium, and Aureobasidium spp. were also found in a few samples. Mycotoxins were not detected in any samples, and only one isolated culture was found to be a mycotoxin producer on laboratory media.
