Abstract

The degree of contamination of pasta (132 samples), flour (86 samples), and egg powder (44 samples) with moulds, with emphasis on the species of genus Aspergillus was investigated . The most frequently isolated genera in the mould samples analysed were those of Aspergillus (70.88%) and Penicillium (21.22%), followed by Mucor, Cladosporium, Rhizopus, Fusarium, Alternaria, Absidia and others. The following species of the Aspergillus genera were prevalent: A. albus (65.66%) and A. flavus (22.01%), followed by A. clavatus, A. amstelodami, A. versicolor, A. ochraceus, A. niger, and others.
