FATORES FíSICO-QUíMICOS E BIOLóGICOS LIGADOS à PRODU??O DE MICOTOXINAS

摘要

The aim of this literature review was to approach the favorable conditions to toxigenic fungi development, which can produce mycotoxins. The aspects described included temperature and moisture, competitors agents and growing atmosphere. The culture media for mycotoxigenic fungi identification were also aborded. It was concluded that the knowledge of the factors linked to the production of mycotoxin possibilitates the adoption of measures to reduce the toxins presence and to enhance food utilization.
