Abstract
The effect of temperature on aflatoxin B, (Afl-B) production was examined. The highest level of Afl-B, (1.25 μg/g) production was at 30°C after 3 weeks of incubation. At 20, 25, 35 and 40°C aflatoxin levels ranged from 0.22- 1.00 jug/g- However, at 15°C aflatoxin production (0.12 to 0.24 μg/g) was much lower.Keywords
