Interacting Abiotic Factors Affect Growth and Aflatoxin B1 Production Profiles of Aspergillus flavus Strains on Pistachio-Based Matrices and Pistachio Nuts

Interacting Abiotic Factors Affect Growth and Aflatoxin B1 Production Profiles of Aspergillus flavus Strains on Pistachio-Based Matrices and Pistachio Nuts

Pistachio nuts are an economically important commodity produced by many countries. They can be colonized by mycotoxigenic fungi, especially Aspergillus flavus, resulting in contamination with aflatoxins (AFs), especially aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a Class 1a carcinogen.
